This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation conducts empirical studies on emission permit auctions under cap-and-trade programs in the United States. My dissertation for the first time conducts structural analyses using the actual auction data from the Acid Rain Program for SO2 and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) program for CO2. With detailed bidder-level bidding data of the 17 discriminatory auctions of SO2 allowances held by the EPA from 1993 to 2009, I estimate bidders' marginal valuation functions using the resampling method proposed by Hortacsu (2002b) and Kastl (2011). I follow their econometric approaches to calculate the efficiency loss caused by the discriminatory format, and test its effectiveness in raising revenue compared to a truthful-bidding uniform price auction. Compared to a best-case scenario of truthful-bidding uniform price auction, the counterfactual results show that the discriminatory format may not necessarily raise more revenue to compensate the efficiency loss in the SO2 allowance auctions. To analyze the RGGI program, I modify a uniform price auction model built by Vives (2011) to characterize emission permit auctions with the presence of secondary trading. Based on the symmetric linear Bayesian demand function equilibrium (LBDFE), I analyze the interaction between the primary auction market and the secondary trading market of emission permits. I then propose a statistical procedure to calibrate model parameters using aggregate level data for the RGGI CO2 allowance auctions during August 2008 to June 2010. With a counterfactual simulation, I discuss the underpricing issue of the uniform price auction relative to the allowance prices in the trading market, and conclude that it is beneficial to open the auctions to general public to increase competition. Based on the empirical results for emission allowance auctions in these two programs, I propose several policy suggestions in designing future emission auctions.

Download or read book Economic Analyses at EPA written by Richard D. Morgenstern and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years, the Environmental Protection Agency has been conducting programmatic 'economic analyses,' also known as Regulatory Impact Analyses (RIAs), to assess the economic effects of its regulatory efforts. This important volume explains the purpose of these analyses, along with their design, execution, conclusions, and their ultimate impact on environmental rules. Richard Morgenstern, formerly director of EPA‘s Office of Policy Analysis, has assembled twelve original case studies of RIAs performed over the past decade on matters such as lead in gasoline, ozone depletion, asbestos, clean drinking water, and sewage management. The contributors, most of whom actually worked on these RIAs, provide detailed examination of why and how they were performed. The case studies critique the nature, amount, and quality of data used by the EPA in their benefit-cost and cost-effectiveness analyses as well as the use (or abuse) of the results in final decisionmaking. The authors illustrate how the analyses take into account difficult issues such as discounting, risk, nonmonetized benefits and costs, and equity. Morgenstern provides the necessary historical context and the legal framework for requiring and conducting EAs. He describes new procedures outlined by the Clinton administration and synthesizes the case studies into thoughtful cross-cutting conclusions, drawing important lessons that will improve future analyses.
Download or read book International Economics Finance and Trade Volume II written by Pasquale Michael Sgro and published by EOLSS Publications. This book was released on 2009-07-30 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Economics, Finance and Trade is the component of Encyclopedia of Development and Economic Sciences in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. The subject matter of international economics and finance includes all transactions that cross national boundaries including trade in goods and services, capital and labor markets and transactions in financial assets. The chapters in these volumes are organized into six topics. The first topic starts with several chapters dealing with the 'core' theory in international economics and finance. The second topic presents with several chapters dealing with balance of payments and exchange rates and again emphasis is placed on the evolution of the various approaches. The third topic focuses on the International Financial Architecture, that is the intentional institutions such as the IMF, World bank and the various groupings of countries such as the G7 and G22, which have been set up to facilitate international trade and economic development .The fourth topic deals with a detailed looked at multinational Banking and Global Capital markets, including the role, if any, of regulation of capital markets and the Banking sector. The fifth topic looks at the strategic developments in international trade and issues of globalisation and international trade law as well as the use of terms such as “strategic trade policy” as a way of disguising trade protectionist arguments. The final topic deals in detail with environmental regulations, policy and property rights and their role in sustainable development. These two volumes are aimed at the following a wide spectrum of audiences from the merely curious to those seeking in-depth knowledge: University and College students Educators, Professional practitioners, Research personnel and Policy analysts, managers, and decision makers and NGOs.
Download or read book Carbon Auction Revenue and Market Power written by Noah Dormady and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State and regional governments in the U.S. and abroad are looking to market-based approaches to mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from the electric sector, and in the U.S. as a compliance approach to meeting the aggressive targets of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s Clean Power Plan. Auction-based approaches, like those used in the Northeast U.S. and California, are both recommended strategies under the Plan and attractive to state governments because they can generate significant revenue from the sale of emissions permits. However, given the nature of imperfect competition in existing electricity markets, particularly at the state and regional level, the issue of market power is a concern at the forefront. This paper provides the results from a controlled laboratory experiment of an auction-based emissions market in the electricity sector. The results show that government revenue from auctioning emissions permits is substantially lower when market concentration is only moderately increased. The results hold significant implications for states and other subnational governments that have high revenue expectations from the auctioning of emissions permits.

This book was released on 2009-01-17 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques has been greatly increased. The term “intelligence” seems to be a “must” in a large number of European and International project calls. AI Techniques have been used in almost any domain. Application-oriented systems usually incorporate some kind of “intelligence” by using techniques stemming from intelligent search, knowledge representation, machine learning, knowledge discovery, intelligent agents, computational intelligence etc. The Workshop on “Applications with Artificial Intelligence” seeks for quality papers on computer applications that incorporate some kind of AI technique. The objective of the workshop was to bring together scientists, engineers and practitioners, who work on designing or developing applications that use intelligent techniques or work on intelligent techniques and apply them to application domains (like medicine, biology, education etc), to present and discuss their research works and exchange ideas in this book.
