Renewable energy policies in federal government systems
Meya, Jasper; Neetzow, Paul - 2019
Renewable energy (RE) policies are widely used to decarbonize power generation and implemented at various governance levels. We use an analytically tractable two-level model to study the effects of overlapping RE policies from the federal and state governments. We find that there are contrasting...
