Most US consumers are charged a near-constant retail price for electricity, despite substantial hourly variation in the …-time pricing" for electricity and increase price elasticity of demand. This paper simulates the effects of this increased demand … elasticity using counterfactual simulations in a structural model of the Pennsylvania-Jersey-Maryland electricity market. The …

We report on an economic experiment that compares outcomes in electricity markets subject to carbon-tax and cap …, respectively. Across these matched pairs, the cap-and-trade mechanism produced much higher wholesale electricity prices (38.5% to … 52.6% higher) and lower total electricity production (2.5% to 4.0% lower) than the "equivalent" carbon tax, without any …

We study price convergence between the two major markets for wholesale electricity in California from their … understanding of the markets, however, could have delayed or prevented price convergence. We find that the two benchmark electricity …

We use demand and plant-level cost data to simulate competition in a restructured California electricity market. This …

In electricity markets, generators are rewarded both for providing energy and for enabling grid reliability. The two … functions are compensated in separate markets: energy markets and ancillary services markets. We provide evidence of changes in … the fuel mix in the energy market that is driven by exogenous changes in an ancillary services market. We provide quasi …

One industry for which price risk can be measured is the electricity producing … industry. We use data on hourly electricity prices in 41 markets to measure fluctuations in output prices and information on …

One of the most critical concerns that customers have voiced in the debate over real-time retail electricity pricing is … that they would be exposed to risk from fluctuations in their electricity cost. The concern seems to be that a customer … very simple hedging strategies can eliminate more than 80% of the bill volatility that would otherwise occur. Far from …

Recent efforts to restructure and partially deregulate electricity markets have renewed interest in understanding how … household electricity demand that addresses these difficulties. We estimate the model using data for a representative sample of … California households, and summarize how electricity demand elasticities vary in that state. We then use the model to analyze the …
