Economic and Emissions Implications of Load-Based, Source-based and First-seller Emissions Trading Programs under California AB32 (2008)

Chen, Yihsu, Liu, Andrew L., Hobbs, Benjamin F.

In response to Assembly Bill 32, the State of California is considering three types of carbon emissions trading programs for the electric power sector: load-based, source-based, and first-seller....

Long-Run Equilibrium Modeling of Alternative Emissions Allowance Allocation Systems in Electric Power Markets (2007)

Schulkin, Jinye Z., Hobbs, Benjamin F., Pang, Jong-Shi

A question in the design of carbon dioxide trading systems is how allowances are to be initially allocated: by auction, by giving away fixed amounts, or by allocating based on output, fuel, or other...

Leader-follower equilibria for electric power and NOx allowances markets (2004)

Yihsu Chen, Benjamin F. Hobbs, Sven Leyffer, Todd S. Munson, Yihsu Chen, Benjamin F. Hobbs, ...

This paper investigates the ability of the largest producer in an electricity market to manipulate both the electricity and emission allowances markets to its advantage. A Stackelberg game to analyze...

Strategic Gaming Analysis for Electric Power Systems: An MPEC Approach (2000)

Benjamin F. Hobbs, M. Ieee, Carolyn B. Metzler, Jong-shi Pang

Transmission constraints and market concentration may prevent power markets from being fully competitive, allowing rms to exercise market power and raise prices above marginal cost. We present a...

Markets, Distribution, and Exchange after Societal Cataclysm. (1998)

Modeling the Effects of Changes in New Source Review on National SO2 and NOx Emissions from Electricity-Generating Units

Evans, David A., Hobbs, Benjamin F., Oren, Craig, Palmer, Karen L.

The Clean Air Act establishes New Source Review (NSR) programs that apply to the construction or modification of major stationary emissions sources. In 2002 and 2003, the U.S. Environmental...

Natural gas corridors between the EU and its main suppliers: Simulation results with the dynamic GASTALE model

Lise, Wietze, Hobbs, Benjamin F., Van Oostvoorn, Frits

Growth in gas demand poses a challenge for European energy consumers and other gas-importing countries in terms of an increasing dependency on gas imports and consequently also supply security. This...

Market power in the European electricity market--The impacts of dry weather and additional transmission capacity

Lise, Wietze, Hobbs, Benjamin F., Hers, Sebastiaan

This paper uses a static computational game theoretic model of a fully opened European electricity market and can take strategic interaction among electricity-producing firms into account. The model...

A Dynamic Simulation of Market Power in the Liberalised European Natural Gas Market

Wietze Lise, Benjamin F. Hobbs

Recent increases in the world price of oil have led to higher gas prices in Europe, possibly leading to greater opportunities for exercising market power. The effect of different gas producer...

The "Most Value" Test: Economic Evaluation of Electricity Demand-Side Management Considering Customer Value

Benjamin F. Hobbs

Trading in the Downstream European Gas Market: A Successive Oligopoly Approach

Maroeska G. Boots, Benjamin F. Hobbs

A model of successive oligopoly is applied to the European natural gas market. The model has a two-level structure, in which Cournot producers are also Stackelberg leaders with respect to traders,...

The More Cooperation, The More Competition? A Cournot Analysis of the Benefits of Electric Market Coupling

Benjamin F. Hobbs, Maroeska G. Boots

If barriers between two power markets are eliminated, what might happen to competition and prices? And who benefits? In the case of the Belgian and Dutch markets, market coupling would permit more...
