Funding Renewable Energy: An Analysis of Renewable Portfolio Standards (2017, background): “In contrast to a number of studies (Menz and Vachon, 2006; Carley, 2009; Yin and Powers, 2010), while both RPS states and non-RPS states experienced increases in renewable energy generation during the sample period, we find no evidence that RPS states have experienced increases in renewable energy r”
Comparative economic analysis of supporting policies for residential solar PV in the United States: Solar Renewable Energy Credit (SREC) potential (2012, background): “There have been many attempts to measure the success of government policies on renewable energy sources (Buckman, 2011; Menz and Vachon, 2006; Yin and Powers, 2010).”
A retrospective analysis of benefits and impacts of U.S. renewable portfolio standards (2016, background): “…has come to mixed conclusions about the incremental effect of RPS programs on RE deployment (Carley 2009; Carley and Miller 2012; Menz and Vachon 2006; Sarzynski et al. 2012; Shrimali et al. 2015; Shrimali and Jenner 2013; Shrimali and Kniefel 2011; Staid and Guikema 2013; Yin and Powers 2010).”
Do renewable electricity policies promote renewable electricity generation? Evidence from panel data (2013, neutral): “While some state level studies reach a firm and positive conclusion (Adelaja and Hailu, 2008; Menz and Vachon, 2006; Yin and Powers, 2010), others find mixed results (Carley, 2009; Kneifel, 2008).”
Assessing the Strength and Effectiveness of Renewable Electricity Feed-In Tariffs in European Union Countries (2011, methodology): “Third, we develop a new statistical indicator for feed-in tariffs—similar to that developed by Yin and Powers (2009) for RPS—that accounts for policy design elements that may influence policy strength.”
The impact of environmental policy instruments on innovation: A review of energy and automotive industry studies (2014, background): “In particular, several studies (cf. Johnstone et al., 2010a; Rogge et al., 2011; Yin and Powers, 2010) discuss the influence of stringency (how difficult or expensive it is for market actors to comply) and predictability (how certain and foreseeable the policy signal is).”
How do policies mobilize private finance for renewable energy?—A systematic review with an investor perspective (2019, background): “In a direct comparison, those RPSs that require incremental capacity additions outperform those with nominal capacity requirements because these might already be met when the policy is introduced [122].”
Are government policies effective in promoting deployment of renewable electricity resources (2011, neutral): “This has resulted in environmental groups to target the sector in their quest to reduce emissions in response to concerns of global climate change (Yin and Powers, 2010).”
