The paper at hand examines the power system costs when a coal tax or a fixed bonus for renewables is combined with CO2 emissions trading. It explicitly accounts for the interaction between the power and the gas market and identifies three cost effects: First, a tax and a subsidy both cause...

Se estudia la evolución de la competencia en el mercado español de electricidad, proponiendo un análisis mediante teoría de juegos. Se elabora un modelo basado en juegos dinámicos siguiendo el concepto de Equilibrio Perfecto de Markov, tomando como bloque elemental una descripción de la...

We analyze existing definitions of carbon leakage and provide a new rigorous one. This is then tested using computable general equilibrium analysis for unilateral carbon dioxide abatement programs in the EU. Our model of the global economy is disaggregated into three regions. The analysis...

We analyze existing definitions of carbon leakage and propose a new rigorous one. This is then tested using computable general equilibrium analysis for unilateral carbon dioxide abatement programs in the European Union in 2020, adopted under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate...

We recall the historical changes that have taken place in the power markets worldwide and that have led to a partial or full opening for competition. Afterwards we discuss power market structure with special emphasis on differences between financial or other commodity markets on one hand and the...

The parameterisation of energy and climate policies often depends on the technology, which is price-setting in electricity markets. We propose two simple approaches to determine marginal technologies in electricity wholesale from available data. Both approaches are complementary, computationally...
