Publicación An energy union without interconnections? Public acceptance of cross-border interconnectors in four European countries(Elsevier, 2023-03-01) Lázaro Touza, Lara; Escribano Francés, Gonzalo; González Enríquez, María del Carmen; Paredes Gázquez, Juan DiegoDespite the importance of achieving a functioning and decarbonised European Energy Union (EnU) research addressing the public acceptance of cross-border energy interconnections at a European-wide level based upon public opinion polls is limited. To try to fill this gap in the literature, this article relies on a poll with 4000 respondents from the four big EU energy markets: France, Germany, Italy and Spain, including as a new explanatory variable their proximity to an electrical cross-border substation. Overall, 57,4% respondents have not heard about energy interconnections, and 69,2% have not ever heard about the internal energy market. Approaching public acceptance from a procedural justice framework, the article considers procedural justice as a pre-condition? For a fair policy-making process. By addressing the public acceptance of cross-border energy interconnections, the article aims to contribute to the existing literature on their linkages of said interconnections with the European energy policy-making process, deriving specific policy implications to foster cross-border interconnections and energy integration within the EnU.Publicación The European Union and the Good Governance of Energy Resources: Practicing What It Preaches?(Elsevier, 2020) Escribano Francés, Gonzalo; Paredes Gázquez, Juan Diego; San Martín González, EnriqueThe good governance of energy resources and its role in the development of oil and gas producing countries is an area of growing interest in the global agenda. The European Union (EU), as an actor that has the double condition of being a major importer of oil and gas as well as a so-called “normative power”, promotes the development of resource governance standards in the Global South. This article analyzes the role of the EU in improving the governance of energy resources, not only from an institutional perspective but also regarding the practical implications that such a normative approach has on European oil and gas import patterns. The paper explores whether EU’s oil and gas imports have been affected by the policies of improving transparency and good resource governance in the oil and gas extractive sector, or if these policies have been ineffective in shaping their geographical origin. It tries to address empirically the link between the level of resource governance in oil and gas exporting countries and the EU’s oil and gas geographical import pattern.Publicación German hydrogen import pathways: checking reality under uncertainty(Elsevier, 2025-12-09) Escribano Francés, Gonzalo; Paredes Gázquez, Juan Diego; San Martín González, EnriqueLow-carbon hydrogen is considered the missing link of the energy transition, especially in hard-to-abate industrial sectors, storage and sustainable mobility, and a key component of EU's plans for both post-COVID recovery programs and decoupling from Russian hydrocarbons. Germany is the member State deploying a more active hydrogen diplomacy to secure H2 imports to accelerate its H2 transition and replacing grey H2 with low-carbon H2. The article assesses the feasibility of Germany's H2 transition by 2030 in a context of high uncertainty by evaluating four alternative H2 import policy pathways: a market pathway focused on minimising costs, a geoeconomic pathway prioritising EU producers and neighbours (nearshoring), a geopolitical pathway aimed at securing imports from allies (friendshoring), and a sustainable pathway focusing on green hydrogen and renewables (greenshoring). The article proposes an innovative modelling design that assesses Germany's H2 transition by integrating stochastic simulations and combinatorial optimisation to project realistic trade scenarios with (or despite) high levels of uncertainty. It tries to complement the existing techno-economic literature on low-carbon hydrogen trade with a beyond-cost approach. The results shed light on the supply implications of the different policy dimensions included in Germany's H2 import strategy. Unexpectedly, prioritising the environmental and climate dimension through greenshoring would attain similar results in covering German import demand as a pure market approach, and both scenarios obtain better results than prioritising proximity and geopolitics.Publicación What is behind the gender gap in economics distance education: Age, work-life balance andCOVID-19(Public Library of Science, 2022-08-08) Castellanos Serrano, Cristina; Escribano Francés, Gonzalo; Paredes Gázquez, Juan Diego; San Martín González, Enrique; Vicerrectorado de Investigación, Transferencia del Conocimiento y Difusión Científica. UNED; Departamento de Economía Aplicada. Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Empresariales. UNEDThere is an ongoing debate about whether gender equality in education has been achieved or not. Research efforts have focused on primary and secondary education, while there are fewer studies on higher education, and few studies refer to distance education. To contribute to address this gap, this article presents a gender analysis of educational outcomes in economics at Spain’s leading distance university, UNED, which is also the largest university in the European Union in terms of enrolment. The aim of the article is to assess whether there is a gender gap in academic results and to identify the sociodemographic and academic variables that may be causing such a gap by analysing how they shape such differences. Finally, the impact of COVID-19 is also considered. The results confirm that women underperformed significantly in our sample in terms of passing and scoring, especially among those between 30 and 45 years of age, who are more likely to have young children. When considering a distribution of family tasks biased against women, along with the higher average age of distance learning university students, gender gaps could probably be greater in nonface-to-face education. COVID-19 narrowed the gender gap during the lockdown period, as some men and women staying at home together were able to improve task sharing capabilities. After the lockdown, however, women’s results worsened compared to pre-COVID-19 levels. A possible explanation is that they had to continue performing the same family duties in addition to substituting education and caring services (e.g., nurseries and day centres for the elderly) that did not resume activity immediately or continuously.
