Benchmarking and Regulation Per
نویسندگان
چکیده
Benchmarking methods, and in particular Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), have become wellestablished and informative tools for economic regulation. DEA is now routinely used by European regulators to set reasonable revenue caps for energy transmission and distribution system operators. The application of benchmarking in regulation, however, requires specific steps in terms of data validation, model specification and outlier detection that are not systematically documented in open publications, leading to discussions about regulatory stability and economic feasibility of these techniques. In this paper, we review the modern foundations for frontier-based regulation and we discuss its actual use in several jurisdictions.

A Generalization of Initial Conditions in Benchmarking of Economic Time-Series by Additive and Proportional Denton Methods
The paper presents unified analytical solution for combining high-frequency and low-frequency economic time-series by additive and proportional Denton methods with parametrical dependence on the initial values of variable and indicator in evident form. This solution spans Denton’s original and Cholette’s advanced benchmarking initial conditions as the subcases. Computational complexity of the o...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is one of the most efficient tools for efficiency measurement which can be employed as a benchmarking method with multiple inputs and outputs. However, DEA does not provide any suggestions for improving efficient units, nor does it provide any benchmark or reference point for these efficient units. Impracticability of these benchmarks under environmental conditio...

متن کاملIncentive Regulation and Utility Benchmarking for Electricity Network Security
The incentive regulation of costs related to physical and cyber security in electricity networks is an important but relatively unexplored and ambiguous issue. These costs can be part of a cost efficiency benchmarking or alternatively dealt separately. This paper discusses the issues and proposes on the options for incorporating network security costs within incentive regulation in a benchmarki...
