We study the performance of different regulatory approaches for the expansion of electricity transmission networks in … the light of realistic demand patterns and fluctuating wind power. In particular, we are interested in the relative … demand in a very realistic way. This substantially increases the real-world applicability of results compared to previous …

In this paper we investigate the introduction of an export tax on steam coal levied by an individual country (Australia … consisting of an optimal policy problem at the upper level, and an equilibrium model of the international steam coal market … (based on COALMOD-World) at the lower level. We find that a unilaterally introduced Australian export tax on steam coal has …
