Have state renewable portfolio standards really worked? : synthesizing past policy assessments to build an integrated econometric analysis of RPS effectiveness in the US
Shrimali, Gireesh; Jenner, Steffen; Groba, Felix; Chan, … - 2012
Renewable portfolio standards (RPS) are the most popular U.S. state-level policies for promoting deployment of renewable electricity (RES-E). While several econometric studies have estimated the effect of RPS on in-state RES-E deployment, results are contradictory. We reconcile these studies and...

Wind electricity subsidies = windfall gains for land owners? : evidence from a feed-in tariff in Germany
Haan, Peter; Simmler, Martin - 2016
In 2013, around 121 billion US-Dollar were spend worldwide to promote the investment into renewable energy sources. The most prominent support scheme employed is a feed-in tariff, which guarantees a fixed price for electricity produced by renewable energies sources, usually for around 15 years...

On start-up costs of thermal power plants in markets with increasing shares of fluctuating renewables
Schill, Wolf-Peter; Pahle, Michael; Gambardella, Christian - 2016
The emerging literature on power markets with high shares of fluctuating renewables suggests that more frequent start … fluctuating renewables quadruples between 2010 and 2030. We find that the overall number of start-ups decreases by a third, while … slightly and remains below 1%. Several overlapping effects drive these results. The expansion of fluctuating renewables alone …

The non-linear impact of risk tolerance on entrepreneurial profit and business survival
Koch, Melanie; Menkhoff, Lukas - 2024
Entrepreneurs tend to be risk tolerant but is more risk tolerance always better? In a sample of about 2,100 small businesses, we find an inverted U-shaped relation between risk tolerance and profitability. This relationship holds in a simple bilateral regression and also when we control for a...

Gone with the wind? : electricity market prices and incentives to invest in thermal power plants under increasing wind energy supply
Traber, Thure (contributor); Kemfert, Claudia (contributor) - 2009
The increased wind energy supplied to many electricity markets around the world has to be balanced by reliable back up units or other complementary measures when wind conditions are low. At the same time wind energy impacts both, the utilization of thermal power plants and the market prices....
