This paper studies how changes in energy input costs for U.S. manufacturers affect the relative welfare of manufacturing producers and consumers (i.e. incidence). In doing so, we develop a partial equilibrium methodology to estimate the incidence of input taxes that can simultaneously account...

This paper studies how changes in energy input costs for U.S. manufacturers affect the relative welfare of manufacturing producers and consumers (i.e., incidence). In doing so, we develop a novel partial equilibrium methodology designed to estimate the incidence of input taxes. This method...

Simulation models of emissions trading performance are generally based on the assumption that carbon prices are fully (or almost fully) passed through to energy prices (with pass-through rates equal or very close to one). Unfortunately, empirical analyses of wholesale electricity spot markets do...
