Does Strategic Ability Affect Efficiency? Evidence from Electricity Markets
The American Economic Review, 2017 Oligopoly models of price competition predict that strategic firms exercise market power and generate inefficiencies. However, heterogeneity in firms’ strategic ability also generates inefficiencies.

, 2011 We estimate the development effects of electrification across Brazil over the period 1960–2000. We simulate a time series of hypothetical electricity grids for Brazil for the period 1960–2000 that show how the grid would have evolved had infrastructure ...

Market Impacts of a Nuclear Power Plant Closure
, 2016 Falling revenues and rising costs have put US nuclear plants in financial trouble, and some threaten to close. To understand the potential private and social consequences, we examine the abrupt closure of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS)

American Economic Journal: Economic Policy, 2018 Using integrated assessment models, we calculate the economic value of the extraordinary decline in emissions from US power plants. Annual local and global air pollution damages fell from $245 to $133 billion over 2010–2017.

The Competitive Effects of Transmission Infrastructure in the Indian Electricity Market
American Economic Journal: Microeconomics, 2017 The integration of markets may improve efficiency by lowering costs or reducing local market power. India, seeking to reduce electricity shortages, set up a new power market, in which transmission constraints sharply limit trade between regions.

Do Energy Efficiency Investments Deliver at the Right Time?
American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, 2017 Most analyses of energy efficiency investments ignore that the value of electricity varies widely across hours. We show how much timing matters. Using novel hourly consumption data from an air conditioner rebate program in California, we find that energy

The Electric Gini: Income Redistribution Through Energy Prices
American Economic Journal: Economic Policy, 2019 In theory, regulators concerned about inequality will deviate from efficient two-part tariffs, charging lower-than-efficient fixed monthly fees and higher-than-efficient per-kilowatt-hour prices. To quantify that relationship, we develop a measure of the

Energy saving may kill : evidence from the fukushima nuclear accident
American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, 2023Following the Fukushima nuclear accident, Japan gradually shut down all its nuclear power plants, causing a countrywide power shortage. In response the government launched large-scale energy-saving campaigns to reduce electricity consumption.

Alert the Inert? Switching Costs and Limited Awareness in Retail Electricity Markets
American Economic Journal: Microeconomics, 2023We quantify how switching costs and limited awareness affect consumer inertia in liberalized retail electricity markets by developing and estimating a structural demand model using a novel dataset on electricity contract choices in Belgium.

The Costs of Misaligned Incentives: Energy Inefficiency and the Principal-Agent Problem
American Economic Journal: Economic Policy, 2023In many settings, misaligned incentives and inadequate monitoring lead employees to take self-interested actions. This paper identifies and quantifies the costs of this principal-agent problem in the context of an energy efficiency appliance replacement ...
