Promoting renewable electricity generation in imperfect markets: Price vs. quantity policies (2008, neutral): “The plan of the European Commission of the 1990s to issue an EU Directive on the promotion of electricity from renewables (CEC, 1998, 1999a,b), which eventually led to the issuance of Directive 2001/77/EC (CEC, 2001), has triggered an intensive political and intellectual debate over the pros and con”
Funding Renewable Energy: An Analysis of Renewable Portfolio Standards (2017, methodology): “While it is generally known that RPSs can lead to increases in electricity prices (Schmalensee, 2012; Kydes, 2006; Palmer and Burtraw, 2005), this is the first paper to econometrically find evidence of this increase from an ex-post difference-indifferences style approach.”
Renewable energy sources: Their global potential for the first-half of the 21st century at a global level: An integrated approach (2007, methodology): “What do these potentials say about the possible and probable future of renewable energy in regional and world energy systems? First, it has to be realized that a proper assessment of the role of WSB in the regional/world energy system requires the implementation of the supply cost curves into an int”
The merit-order effect: A detailed analysis of the price effect of renewable electricity generation on spot market prices in Germany (2008, background): “, 2004) and the United States (Palmer and Burtraw, 2005) show that this discussion is not only a German phenomenon.”
The Effect of Local and Global Learning on the Cost of Renewable Energy in Developing Countries (2016, background): “Model structure Key relationships between input and output variables (function of technology i, year t) social cost (Palmer and Burtraw, 2005), while the latter allows comparisons between different mitigation measures and carbon prices.”
Renewable Portfolio Standards: When Do They Lower Energy Prices? (2010, background): “Indeed, Palmer and Burtraw (2005) find a distinct nonlinearity in the electricity price response to more stringent portfolio standards.”
Combining Policies for Renewable Energy: Is the Whole Less than the Sum of its Parts? (2010, background): “Palmer and Burtraw (2005) find that national RPS policies ranging from 5 to 20% would raise the U.”
On the economics of renewable energy sources (2013, background): “While the more extreme and volatile prices of a high RE market share are not a reason to expect the current design to fail per se, they are linked to another issue of liberalized electricity markets, namely a potential mismatch in cost recovery with marginal generation prices; see Pérez-Arriaga and ”
Why Do States Adopt Renewable Portfolio Standards?: An Empirical Investigation (2010, positive): “Palmer and Burtraw (2005) find a federal RPS would displace costly but relatively clean natural gas to a much greater extent than cheaper and dirtier coal, an environmentally perverse result that would not occur under a carbon tax or a cap-and-trade policy.”
Strategic choices for renewable energy investment: Conceptual framework and opportunities for further research (2012, background): “ing schemes such as Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) may be an effective way of minimizing cost (Palmer and Burtraw, 2005),”
The role of grid extensions in a cost-efficient transformation of the European electricity system until 2050 (2013, background): “Palmer and Burtraw (2005) analyze the costeffectiveness of different renewable energy policies based on an optimization model covering thermal and renewable energy technologies in 13 regions in the United States of America.”
