A comparative study of feed-in tariff and renewable portfolio standard policy in renewable energy industry

Sun, Peng; Nie, Pu-yan - In: Renewable Energy 74 (2015) C, pp. 255-262

By establishing a two-stage model in which a monopolization firm first chooses R&D input and then the quantity of energy, this paper compares the different effects of two regulatory policies: feed-in tariff (FIT) and renewable portfolio standard (PRS). The results show that FIT is more efficient...
