Tåg, Joacim - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2013

I study the internal organization of firms using occupation data on workers in Swedish manufacturing firms. Firms with more layers are larger in size, in value added, and they pay higher wages. Firms are hierarchal in that lower layers have more workers and lower mean wage than higher layers....

Scrapping a Wind Turbine: Policy Changes, Scrapping Incentives and Why Wind Turbines in Good Locations Get Scrapped First

Mauritzen, Johannes - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2012

The most common reason for scrapping a wind turbine in Denmark is to make room for a newer turbine. The decision to scrap a wind turbine is then highly dependent on an opportunity cost that comes from the interaction of scarce land resources, technological change and changes in subsidy policy....

Congestion Management in Electricity Networks: Nodal, Zonal and Discriminatory Pricing

Holmberg, Pär; Lazarczyk, Ewa - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2012

Wholesale electricity markets use different market designs to handle congestion in the transmission network. We compare nodal, zonal and discriminatory pricing in general networks with transmission constraints and loop flows. We conclude that in large games with many producers who are allowed to...

Supply Function Equilibria: Step Functions and Continuous Representations

Holmberg, Pär; Newbery, David; Ralph, Daniel - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2009

In most wholesale electricity markets generators must submit step-function offers of supply to a uniform price auction, and the market is cleared at the price of the most expensive offer needed to meet realised demand. Such markets can most elegantly be modelled as the pure-strategy, Nash...

Supply Function Equilibria of Pay-as-Bid Auctions

Holmberg, Pär - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2009

This paper characterizes the Nash equilibrium in a pay-as-bid (discriminatory), divisible-good, procurement auction. Demand by the auctioneer is uncertain as in the supply function equilibrium model. A closed form expression is derived. Existence of an equilibrium is ensured if the hazard rate...

What Happens When it's Windy in Denmark? An Empirical Analysis of Wind Power on Price Variability in the Nordic Electricity Market

Mauritzen, Johannes - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2011

High levels of wind power penetration will tend to affect prices in a deregulated electricity market. Much of the analysis in the literature has focused on the effect that wind power has on average electricity prices, this paper attempts to test the effect that wind power production has on the...
