What institutions are good for "energy economics"? plus my profile for the hell of it

[warriorshame]

I guess the first question is, is "energy economics" even a legitimate or well defined field? Or is it pretty much covered by developmental, environmental, resource, or agricultural economics? I haven't had many econ electives so my scope is pretty narrow.

 

After doing some quick searches on the forum, I've only been able to come up with Maryland and Rice. Any other ones anybody knows about? Any good papers or even opinions on the whole subject of energy?

 

plus here's my profile for sh*ts and giggles, but I'm not applying til next year cause it sucks right now. comment if you want to.

 

PROFILE:

Type of Undergrad: UCSD, Combination Math/Econ Major (might switch to double major)

Undergrad GPA: Overall 3.52, Econ 3.76, Math 3.35 (for upper division)

GRE: yet to take, after intense study will likely get about 770q and 550v

Letters of Recommendation: who knows right now, hopefully my thesis advisor at least. This is the task for this year

Research Experience: currently enrolled in senior thesis

Teaching Experience: currently a TA for beginning micro

Research Interests: still finding it due to not having many electives, but right now I'm thinking something with energy/environmental/resource economics

SOP: not thinking about that yet;)
