Supply Security Dutch Gas Market

Writing this thesis made me aware how small the attention for supply security of gas is compared to mainstream economical science about for example stock markets. Much of what has been written is somewhat outdated and usually qualitative data. Some additional research in this area therefore seems to be appropriate. Before I started writing this thesis I did not know much about the gas market. I followed some classes in gas price modelling. This interested me enough to dive into this subject. In addition a positive factor in writing this thesis was the recent gas crisis caused by Russia and the Ukraine. Because energy is the fuel for every economy, I simply was interested whether gas supply could threaten the continuity of the economy. Since I live in The Netherlands I bounded my research to this country. Looking back I have learned a lot about the gas market and even got interested to maybe start working in the energy industry
