We propose a candidate solution to the imperfect exchange rate passthrough puzzle: habit persistence at the level of individual goods varieties. Deep habits generate a dynamic import demand function that leads to import price markup adjustments, independently of nominal pricing frictions. Augmenting a standard two-country model with deep habits, we obtain low exchange rate pass-through to impor...

Using a State-space model, this paper investigates the contribution of both observed and unobserved fundamentals to nominal exchange rate movement in Iran for the period 1991:2-2011:4. To this end, we follow Engel and West (2005) and Balke et al. (2013) and use an asset-pricing approach to develop a rational expectations present value exchange rate model. In order to examine the role of fun...

The investment interests in the electricity industry are transmitted through various mechanisms to other economic activities. This paper considers methods for esteeming the adaptability of demand-side response (DSR) in its capacity to react to future uncertainties. The capacity to evaluate this adaptability is particularly critical for vitality frameworks speculations given their extensive and ...

We study a demand response problem from operator’s perspective with realistic settings, in which the operator faces uncertainty and limited communication. Specifically, the operator does not know the cost function of consumers and cannot have multiple rounds of information exchange with consumers. We formulate an optimization problem for the operator to minimize its operational cost considering...

Abstract Future energy systems will be dominated by variable renewable power generation and interconnected sectors, leading to rapidly growing complexity. Flexible elements are required balance the variability of sources, including backup generators storage devices, but also flexible consumers. Demand response (DR) aims adapt demand generation, in particular shifting load time. In this article,...

Under the smart grid environment, demand response resources (DRRs) are introduced as a virtual power plant to enhance power system adequacy. DRRs often fail to reduce their load due to some external factors. In this paper, a reliability model of a DRR is constructed as multi-state conventional generation units, where the probability, frequency of occurrence, and departure rate of each state can...

in this paper, based on a new keynesian structure, we have analyzed monetary policy response to exchange rate volatilities in iran. for this purpose, first, exchange rate derived from equilibrium condition in exchange market and then two different models have been estimated. assumption on the first model is that central bank responses to exchange rate volatilities and the assumption on the seco...
