Previous approaches on market power in emissions trading markets rely on the existence of a subset of competitive players. In this paper, I relax this assumption and treat market power as an endogenous concept which depends on the initial allocation of allowances. All parties realize their potential influence on the market price. This approach allows a clear comparative statics of the impact of...

in view of the importance of the meat imports and the exports of meat in iran, this study focuses on the status of the global market of meat imports the unit price test in these markets between the years 1961 and 2011 using the market cointegration approach. the results of this study are indicative of prices co-integration in the international market of meat as well as among such major importer...

Electricity market plays an important role in improving the economics of electrical power system. Transmission network is vital entity in open access deregulated wholesale electricity market. Whenever transmission network congestion occurs in electricity market, it divides the market in different zones and the trading price of electricity will no longer remains the same for the whole system. Bi...

Many markets for homogeneous goods feature market power and heterogeneity in the prices paid by buyers. Search costs are a common explanation for this phenomenon and are a concern as they generate inefficiencies. In this paper, I study a competitive market for homogeneous goods and, by exploiting a unique dataset, I find three facts that are opposite to what one would expect from a market with ...

This paper presents a novel approach for evaluating impacts of price-sensitive loads on electricity price and market power. To accomplish this aim an analytical method along with agent-based computational economics are used. At first, Nash equilibrium is achieved by computational approach of Q-learning then based on the optimal bidding strategies of GenCos, which are figured out by Q-learning, ...

In the framework of an incomplete financial market where the stock price dynamics are modeled by a continuous semimartingale, an explicit first-order expansion formula for the power investor’s value function seen as a function of the underlying market price of risk process is provided and its second-order error is quantified. Two specific calibrated numerical examples illustrating the accuracy ...

Using eight sessions (twenty-four ten-period markets) in a double ABA cross-over design, we demonstrate clear evidence of market power in double-auction emission trading markets (agents who are not constrained to only buy or sell). Conventional theory predicts that in half of the market-power environments monopsony should emerge and in half monopoly should emerge. Market-power outcomes are freq...

In this paper a day-ahead planning algorithm for a multi-reservoir hydropower system coordinated with wind power is developed. Coordination applies to real situations, where wind power and hydropower are owned by different utilities, sharing the same transmission lines, though hydropower has priority for transmission capacity. Coordination is thus necessary to minimize wind energy curtailments ...

The abuse of market power is a potentially serious problem for market designers. Few if any indices exist to measure the potential for market power in real-time. In references [1-2] an expression for a dispatch-to-price sensitivity matrix, M, was derived. The expression requires information about network topology and parameters as well as the rules used to operate the market. While computing th...
