For once, both erstwhile KP authors are in the same place! I’ve organized a research roundtable at the Searle Center on Law, Regulation, and Economic Growth at Northwestern University, and Mike’s in town to attend. The event’s called Energy, Technology, and Institutions, and you can read the working papers to be discussed if you are interested:
Combined Issues of Climate Policy and Energy Policy: Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions while Meeting Increasing Global Energy Demand
Daniel H. Cole, Indiana University School of Law
The Political Economy of Energy and Its Implications for Climate Change Legislation
Jim Rossi, Florida State University School of Law
Beneficial Complexity: A Field Experiment in Technology, Institutions, and Institutional Change in the Electric Power Industry
Lynne Kiesling, Department of Economics, Northwestern University
David Chassin, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
The Challenges of Valuing Carbon
Rick Mattoon, Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago
Margrethe Kearney, Latham & Watkins LLP
...] I could say the same about electricity consumption, information technology, and dynamic pricing — the way to improve your value for money from electricity consumption is by enabling you to make the decisions, not leaving the decisions in the hands of regulators or a regulated utility in the form of regulated pricing.
