Not only does time-invariant pricing in competitive … or subsidies on electricity or capacity are unlikely to succeed, because these interventions create new inefficiencies …

We report on an economic experiment that compares outcomes in electricity markets subject to carbon-tax and cap …, respectively. Across these matched pairs, the cap-and-trade mechanism produced much higher wholesale electricity prices (38.5% to … 52.6% higher) and lower total electricity production (2.5% to 4.0% lower) than the “equivalent” carbon tax, without any …
