Energy Transition with Variable and Intermittent Renewable Electricity Generation

Pommeret, Aude - 2019

We propose one of the first dynamic models of the optimal transition from fossil fuels to renewables in electricity generation that takes into account the variability and intermittency of renewable energy as well as storage. This work sheds light on the extent to which variability and...

Utilities Included : Split Incentives in Commercial Electricity Contracts

Jessoe, Katrina - 2019

This paper quantifies a tenant-side "split incentives" problem that exists when the largest commercial sector customers are on electricity-included property lease contracts causing them to face a marginal electricity price of zero. We use exogenous variation in weather shocks to show that the...

Electricity and Firm Productivity : A General-Equilibrium Approach

Fried, Stephie; Lagakos, David - 2022

Many policymakers view power outages as a major constraint on firm productivity in developing countries. Yet empirical studies find modest short-run effects of outages on firm performance. This paper builds a dynamic macroeconomic model to study the long-run general-equilibrium effects of power...

Efficiency in Wholesale Electricity Markets : On the Role of Externalities and Subsidies

Bialek, Sylwia; Unel, Burcin - 2021

This paper studies the effects of capacity market reforms that the U.S. grid operators have undertaken in response to state-level subsidies paid to emission-free electricity generation. We first derive an analytical model of energy-and-capacity markets that allows us to predict the price and...

Reversible Environmental Catastrophes with Disconnected Generations

Heijdra, Ben J. - 2019

We study environmental policy in an economy-ecology model featuring multiple deterministic stable steady-state ecological equilibria. The economy-ecology does not settle in either of the deterministic steady states as the environmental system is hit by random shocks. Individual live for two...

Inequality and the Environment : The Economics of a Two-Headed Hydra

Drupp, Moritz A.; Kornek, Ulrike; Meya, Jasper; Sager, Lutz - 2021

Preserving environmental quality and addressing economic inequality both feature prominently in public discourse. Neither of these two issues can be fully understood in isolation, and policies aiming at one issue will increasingly have to consider interactions with the other. We synthesize...
