The level and distribution of the costs tradable allowance schemes are important determinants whether regulation is enacted. Theoretical simulation models have shown that updating allocations based on firm emissions or output can improve efficiency scheme by acting as a production subsidy. Using U.S. NOx Budget Program case study, this analysis tests electricity generators in states which chose...

We present a new demand-driven flowand context-sensitive pointer analysis with strong updates for C programs, called SUPA, that enables computing points-to information via value-flow refinement, in environments with small time and memory budgets such as IDEs. We formulate SUPA by solving a graphreachability problem on an inter-procedural value-flow graph representing a program’s def-use chains,...
