A framework to predict the price of energy for the end-users with applications to monetary and energy policies

S. G. Baratsas, A. M. Niziolek, et al.

Discover the groundbreaking Energy Price Index (EPIC) framework, developed by a team of researchers from Texas A&M University, that accurately predicts average energy prices for consumers in the U.S. This innovative approach assesses the interplay between energy demand and pricing over a 174-month analysis, shedding light on the effects of crude oil taxes and renewable energy subsidies on government revenues.

Abstract
This paper introduces a predictive framework, the Energy Price Index (EPIC), to calculate the average price of energy for end-use consumers in the United States. EPIC considers the total demand of energy products directed to end-use sectors and the price of each product. A rolling horizon predictive methodology, rigorously tested over 174 months, estimates future energy demands. The framework's effectiveness is demonstrated by analyzing the impacts of crude oil taxes and renewable energy subsidies on energy prices and government revenue.
