Green tradable certificates versus feed-in tariffs in the promotion of renewable energy shares
Requate, Tilman - 2014
The paper analyzes the relationship between CO2 mitigation policy and promotion policies designed to deploy renewable energy sources for electricity production (RES-E). If an emission cap is the only policy target, an optimal mix consisting of high and low carbon use of fossil fuels, deployment...

Gone with the wind? : an empirical analysis of the renewable energy rent transfer
Liski, Matti; Vehviläinen, Iivo - 2016
Subsidies to renewable energy are costly and contentious. We estimate the reduction in prices that follows from the subsidized entry of wind power in the Nordic electricity market. A relatively small-scale entry of renewables leads to a large-scale transfer of surplus from the incumbent...

The prosumers and the grid
Gautier, Axel; Jacqmin, Julien; Poudou, Jean-Christophe - 2017
Prosumers are households that are both producers and consumers of electricity. A prosumer has a grid-connected decentralized production unit (DPU) and makes two types of exchanges with the grid: energy imports when the local production is insuffcient to match the local consumption and energy...

A look upstream : electricity market restructuring, risk, procurement contracts and efficiency
Di Maria, Corrado; Lange, Ian; Lazarova, Emiliya A. - 2014 - This version: November 25, 2014
This paper analyzes theoretically and empirically how upstream markets are affected by deregulation downstream …. Deregulation tends to increase the level of uncertainty in the upstream market. Our theoretical analysis predicts that deregulated … plants. On the other hand, we also find that transaction costs may have increased as a consequence of deregulation. …

A fair price for energy? : ownership versus market opening in the EU15
Fiorio, Carlo V.; Florio, Massimo - 2010
In the past two decades privatisation and liberalisation of network industries providing services of general economic interest (SGEI), have been particularly significant in the European Union. Wide variations around a common policy trend can, however, be observed across countries and sectors. We...

Equity as a prerequisite for stable cooperation in a public-good economy : the core revisited
Buchholz, Wolfgang; Peters, Wolfgang - 2010
In this paper we explore the relationship between an equitable distribution of the cost shares in public-good provision on the one hand and the core property of an allocation on the other. In particular we show that it is an inhomogeneous distribution of cost shares that motivates some coalition...

Structural reforms and income inequality : who benefits from market-oriented reforms?
Gründler, Klaus; Potrafke, Niklas; Wochner, Timo - 2020
We examine how structural reforms relate to income inequality. We employ many indicators of structural reforms and use data for market and net income inequality. The dataset includes up to 135 countries since 1960. The results do not suggest that market-oriented structural reforms were...

Strategic supply function competition with private information
Vives, Xavier - 2009
A finite number of sellers (n) compete in schedules to supply an elastic demand. The costs of the sellers have uncertain common and private value components and there is no exogenous noise in the system. A Bayesian supply function equilibrium is characterized; the equilibrium is privately...

Complementary bidding mechanisms and startup costs in electricity markets
Reguant, Mar - 2014
I extend multi-unit auction estimation techniques to a setting in which firms can express cost complementarities over time. In the context of electricity markets, I show how the auction structure and bidding data can be used to estimate these complementarities, which in these markets arise due...
