Carbon Dioxide Emission Standards

On June 25, 2013, President Obama announced his plan to introduce carbon dioxide emission standards for electricity generation. This paper proposes an efficiency analysis approach that addresses which emission rates (and standards) would be feasible if the existing generating units adopt best practices. A new efficiency measure is introduced and further decomposed to identify different sources’...

Dynamic Carbon Emission Permit Prices and Emission Trade

The evaluation of the cost of reduction for the different region and the resulting emission permit prices is a typical model application. The usual approach to analyze emission trading is to obtain marginal emission reduction cost curves from the models and subsequently carry out a static, expost analysis of emission trading based on these cost curves. The drawback of this approach is that effe...

Invalid measurement validity.

Concurrence looks at how a measure relates to a gold standard. If, as frequently occurs, there isn’t one, the next best is the correlation with other established measures. This assumes that the latter are themselves valid, which may not be true, and risks stifling innovation, a source of concern if a paper is criticized on this ground. More straightforwardly, concurrence also means that a test ...
