As is known to all, energy economics is a subfield of economics that focuses on energy relationships as the foundation of all other relationships. The field can arise from a number of disciplines, including economic theory, financial economics, computational economics, statistics, econometrics, operational research and strategic modeling. A wide interpretation of the subject includes, for example, issues related to forecasting, financing, pricing, investment, development, conservation, policy, regulation, security, risk management, insurance, portfolio theory, taxation, fiscal regimes, accounting and the environments. In these listed issues there are a large number of computational problems to be solved for the energy systems, particular for energy risk measurement and management. This will be the second workshop for such a subject that provides a premier and open forum for the dissemination of innovative computational methods as well as original research results in energy economics and energy risk management. In order to provide an academic exchange platform, the First International Workshop on Computational Methods in Energy Economics (CMEE 2007) was held in Beijing on May 27-30, 2007. Subsequently, the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth International Workshop on Computational Methods in Energy Economics (CMEE 2008, CMEE 2009, CMEE 2010, CMEE 2011, and CMEE 2012) were held in Nanjing, Sanya, Huangshan, Kunming, and Harbin on June 27-30, 2008, April 24-26, 2009, May 28-31, 2010, April 15-19, 2011 and June 24-26, 2012. To promote the idea-exchange and discussion of this field, the Seventh International Workshop on Computational Methods in Energy Economics (CMEE 2013) will be held in Suzhou on May 16-18, 2012. The workshop will provide an open forum for research papers concerned with the computational problems on energy economics and energy risk management, including economic and econometric modeling, computation, and analysis issues in energy systems. The workshop will focus on, but not limited to, the following topics:
* Forecasting models for energy prices (oil, coal, gas, electricity)
* Pricing models in energy markets (mean reversion, jump diffusion)
* Investment analysis models in energy projects (portfolio theory)
* Econometric modeling for energy demands
* Energy and environment policy modeling
* Modeling strategic behavior for energy security
* Hybrid energy-economy models for energy policy simulation
* Statistical analysis of energy cost, energy consumption and economic growth
* Energy risk management (risk measurement, hedging strategy and instruments)
