Optimal renewable-energy subsidies

Andor, Mark Andreas; Voß, Achim - 2014

We derive optimal subsidization of renewable energies in electricity markets. The analysis takes into account that capacity investment must be chosen under uncertainty about demand conditions and capacity availability, and that capacity as well as electricity generation may be sources of...

Revealed notions of distributive justice II : experimental evidence

Becker, Nicole; Häger, Kirsten; Heufer, Jan - 2013

Using household travel diary data collected in Germany between 1997 and 2012, we employ an instrumental variable (IV) approach to estimate fuel price and efficiency elasticities. The aim is to gauge the relative impacts of fuel economy standards and fuel taxes on distance traveled. We find that...

Asymmetry - resurrecting the roots

Frondel, Manuel; Schmidt, Christoph M.; Vance, Colin - 2013

This note attempts to reconcile a range of primary methods for dealing with price asymmetry, such as the approaches proposed by Tweeten and Quance (1969), Wolffram (1971) and Houk(1977). Using Wolffram’s stylized example, we first illustrate that the notion of asymmetry can be captured in a...

Beyond the average elasticity : applying quantile panel regression to German household mobility data

Ritter, Nolan - 2012

This paper employs quantile panel regression to the study of fuel price elasticities. Contrasting with standard panel approaches, this method reveals the impact of explanatory variables across all points in the conditional distribution of the response variable while controlling for unobserved...

How full is the tank? : insights on short-run fuel price reactions from German travel diary data

Ritter, Nolan; Schmidt, Christoph M.; Vance, Colin - 2013

We provide evidence that motorists respond to short-run fluctuations in fuel prices at the gas pump and not on the road. Employing variants of censored panel regression to control for unobserved heterogeneity and censoring of the dependent variable, we find that the fuel price has a large and...

Mitigating hypothetical bias : evidence on the effects of correctives from a large field study

Andor, Mark Andreas; Frondel, Manuel; Vance, Colin - 2014

The overestimation of willingness-to-pay (WTP) in hypothetical responses is a wellknown finding in the literature. Various techniques have been proposed to remove or, at least, reduce this bias. Using responses from a panel of about 6,500 German households on their WTP for a variety of power...

Rarely enjoyed? : A count data analysis of ridership in Germany's public transport

Frondel, Manuel; Vance, Colin - 2010

Focusing on adult members of German households, this paper investigates the determinants of public transit ridership with the aim of quantifying the effects of fuel prices, fares, person-level attributes, and characteristics of the transit system on transport counts over a five-day week. The...
