New foundations of cost–benefit analysis
This article responds to the criticisms of New Foundations of Cost–Benefit Analysis that appeared in a review by Amy Sinden, Douglas A. Kysar, and David M. Driesen. We argue that their criticisms are either based on misunderstandings of our approach or are too demanding, in the sense that no reasonable decision procedure would satisfy them. We illustrate this second argument by demonstrating th...

Taxes create distortions as gauged by the marginal cost of public ...
متن کاملA Benefit-Cost Framework for Optimal Load Shifting*
We describe the background and analytical framework for a mathematical optimization model for home energy management systems (HEMS) to efficiently shift electricity load. We illustrate the flexibility of the model by modularizing various available technologies such as plug-in electrical vehicle, battery storage, automatic window opening, etc. The analysis shows that the end user can accrue econ...
