How to determine whether regional markets are integrated? : theory and evidence from European electricity markets
Gebhardt, Georg; Höffler, Felix - 2008
Prices may differ between regional markets if transport capacities are limited. We develop a new approach to determine to which extent such differences stem from limited participation in cross-border trader rather than from bottlenecks. We derive a theoretical integration benchmark for the...
