A Reexamination of Renewable Electricity Policy in Sweden

Fridolfsson, Sven-Olof; Tangerås, Thomas - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2012

Green certificates are the main instrument for promoting renewable electricity (RES-E) in Sweden. But certificates cover only a limited share of total RES-E production. Under partial coverage, crowding out may arise whereby costly new RES-E replaces inexpensive old RES-E. Granting certificates...

Government Failure: The Case of Global Environmental Mismanagement

Andersson, Thomas - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 1990

Pollution and polluters can move across national boundaries, but governments which seek to maximize social welfare should coordinate optimal environmental protection through transfer payments or commitments. However, governments may respond to political pressure rather than maximize social...

Optimal Transmission Regulation in an Integrated Energy Market

Tangerås, Thomas P. - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2010

The capacity of the transmission network determines the extent of integration of a multinational energy market. Cross-border externalities render coordination of network maintenance and investments across countries valuable. Is it then optimal to collect powers in the hands of a single...

Competition vs. Regulation in Mobile Telecommunications

Stennek, Johan; Tangerås, Thomas - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2006

This paper questions whether competition can replace sector-specific regulation of mobile telecommunications. We show that the monopolistic outcome prevails independently of market concentration when access prices are determined in bilateral negotiations. A light-handed regulatory policy can...

Regulation of Cost and Quality under Yardstick Competition

Tangerås, Thomas P. - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2002

This paper analyses simultaneous regulation of cost and quality when firms have private, correlated information about productivity and the regulator receives a signal about quality. It is shown that managerial effort and expenditures on quality are positively correlated in the optimal contract....

International Network Competition

Tangerås, Thomas; Tåg, Joacim - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2014

We analyse network competition in a market with international calls. National regulatory agencies (NRAs) have incentives to set regulated termination rates above marginal cost to extract rent from international call termination. International network ownership and deregulation are alternatives...

Network Competition with Income Effects

Tangerås, Thomas - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2012

I generalize the workhorse model of network competition to include income effects in demand. Empirical work has shown income effects to be positive and statistically significant. Income effects deliver theoretical results consistent with regulatory concern about excessive termination rates:...
