Market Structure and the Stability and Volatility of Electricity Prices

Bask, Mikael; Widerberg, Anna - Nationalekonomiska institutionen, Handelshögskolan - 2008

By using a novel approach in this paper,(lambda,sigma²)-analysis, we have found that electricity prices most of the time have increased in stability and decreased in volatility when the Nordic power market has expanded and the degree of competition has increased. That electricity prices at Nord...

Putting decomposition of energy use and pollution on a firm footing - clarifications on the residual, zero and negative values and strategies to assess the performance of decomposition methods

Muller, Adrian - Nationalekonomiska institutionen, Handelshögskolan - 2006

I show how the problems with zero and negative values in decomposition can in principle be resolved by avoiding ill-defined mathematical operations used to derive the decomposition formulae (division by zero and taking logarithms of zero and negative values). Referring to integral approximation,...

How much is too much? - An investigation of the effect of the number of choice sets, starting point and the choice of bid vectors in choice experiments

Carlsson, Fredrik; Martinsson, Peter - Nationalekonomiska institutionen, Handelshögskolan - 2006

In a split sample design, we examine how the number of choice sets, design of the first choice set (starting point), and the choice of attribute levels in the cost attribute affect the precision in the elicited preferences in otherwise completely identical choice experiment surveys. These issues...

China’s Energy Situation and Its Implications in the New Millennium

Ma, Hengyun; Oxley, Les; Gibson, John - Department of Economics and Finance, College of … - 2009

Many are interested in China’s energy situation, however, numerous energy related issues in China still remain unanswered, for example, what are the potential forces driving energy demand and supply? Previous reviews focused only on fossil fuel based energy and ignored other important elements...

The Dynamics of Electric Cookstove Adoption: Panel data evidence from Ethiopia

Alem, Yonas; Hassen, Sied; Köhlin, Gunnar - Nationalekonomiska institutionen, Handelshögskolan - 2013

Previous studies on improved cookstove adoption in developing countries use cross-sectional data, which makes it difficult to control for unobserved heterogeneity and investigate what happens to adoption over time. We use robust non-linear panel data and hazard models on three rounds of panel...

The Determinants of Sulfur Emissions from Oil Consumption in Swedish Manufacturing Industry, 1976-1995

Hammar, Henrik; Löfgren, Åsa - Nationalekonomiska institutionen, Handelshögskolan - 2000

Using a structural decomposition analysis, we analyze the causes of reduction in emitted sulfur originating from the manufacturing industry in Sweden during 1976-1995. We also analyze how policy instruments work with respect to sulfur emissions. We conclude that the sulfur tax has been important...

Do Experience and Cheap Talk influence Willingness to Pay in an Open-Ended Contingent Valuation Survey?

Carlsson, Fredrik; Martinsson, Peter - Nationalekonomiska institutionen, Handelshögskolan - 2006

In this paper we analyze the effect of information on respondents’ willingness to pay to avoid power outages in Sweden, by employing an open-ended contingent valuation survey.Two aspects of information are tested; (i) if increased experience from power outages manifested by one of the worst...

The Phase-Out of Leaded Gasoline in the EU: A Successful Failure?

Löfgren, Åsa; Hammar, Henrik - Nationalekonomiska institutionen, Handelshögskolan - 1999

The objective of this paper is to analyze in both descriptive and econometric terms the phase-out of leaded gasoline … consumption in the EU countries. The phase-out process is characterized by increased consumption of unleaded gasoline. We analyze … phase-out process. Since the expected maintenance costs of using unleaded gasoline in cars without catalytic converters …

Does it Matter When a Power Outage Occurs? - A Choice Experiment Study on the Willingness to Pay to Avoid Power Outages

Carlsson, Fredrik; Martinsson, Peter - Nationalekonomiska institutionen, Handelshögskolan - 2004

Using a choice experiment survey, the marginal willingness to pay (WTP) among Swedish households for reductions in power outages is estimated. The results from the random parameter logit estimation indicate that the marginal WTP increases with the duration of the outages, and is higher if the...
