Politically Feasible, Revenue Sufficient, and Economically Efficient Municipal Water Rates
Water rates are designed to meet multiple objectives, typically resulting in tradeoffs among the objectives of economic efficiency, revenue sufficiency, and related revenue stability. Standard theory of natural monopoly is extended here to explain why long-run marginal cost (LMC) can be greater than both average cost and short-run marginal cost (SMC) for municipal water utilities. The distincti...
متن کاملMeasuring the Marginal Impact of Co2 Emissions on Atmospheric Concentrations
The response of atmospheric CO2 concentrations to an incremental increase in emissions is usually measured using an impulse response function. These functions are then used in calculating Global Warming Potentials, marginal climate damages, and CO2 timescales. It is shown here that the impulse response method implicitly double counts the effects of emissions on concentration by not properly acc...
متن کاملA robust sequential CO2 emissions strategy based on optimal control of atmospheric CO2 concentrations
This paper formally introduces the concept of mitigation as a stochastic control problem. This is illustrated by applying a digital state variable feedback control approach known as Non-Minimum State Space (NMSS) control to the problem of specifying carbon emissions to control atmospheric CO2 concentrations in the presence of uncertainty. It is shown that the control approach naturally lends it...
متن کاملMarket-Based Approaches to CO2 Emissions Reductions
Numerous proposals have surfaced promoting policies to limit U.S. emissions of gases like Carbon Dioxide (CO2), a primary contributor to climate change. One such proposal is Senate Bill 2191, the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act, which was introduced to the 110th Congress on October 18, 2007. Like many proposals to control greenhouse gas emissions, S. 2191 embraces a market-based approach ...
