interwoven in the electricity market as the producers of green electricity are also the suppliers of TGCs. In this paper, we … formulate an analytic equilibrium model for simultaneously functioning electricity and TGC markets, and focus on the role of … market power. We consider a Stackelberg leadership model with endogenous treatment of the interaction between the electricity …

We consider lifetime health insurance contracts in which ageing provisions are used to smooth the premium profile. The stock of capital accumulated for each individual can be split into two parts: a premium insurance and an annuitised life insurance, where the latter would be transferable...
