Case studies of the potential effects of carbon taxation on the stone, clay, and glass industry
Bock, M.J.; Boyd, G.A.; Rosenbaum, D.I.; Ross, M.H. - 2008
This case study focuses on the potential for a carbon tax ($25 and $100 per metric ton of carbon) to reduce energy use and associated carbon dioxide (CO[sub 2]) emissions in three subsectors of the stone, clay, and glass industry: hydraulic cement, glass and glass products, and other products. A...

Incorporating uncertainty into electric utility projections and decisions
Hanson, D.A. - 2008
This paper focuses on how electric utility companies can respond in their decision making to uncertain variables. Here we take a mean- variance type of approach. The mean'' value is an expected cost, on a discounted value basis. We assume that management has risk preferences incorporating a...
