▼ La diffusion des panneaux solaires photovoltaïques à prix abordables nous amène à repenser à la manière avec laquelle les coûts des réseaux de distribution sont récupérés auprès des consommateurs. Historiquement, les consommateurs étaient facturés pour l'utilisation du réseau de distribution principalement sur la base de leur volume (net) d'électricité consommé. Avec tel type de tarif de réseau, les consommateurs qui installent des panneaux photovoltaïques contribuent beaucoup moins à la récupération du coût d’investissement réseau. Cependant, ces consommateurs (prosummeurs) dépendent autant du réseau qu’avant. La question examinée dans cette thèse est de savoir comment définir le tarif du réseau de distribution dans ce contexte changeant. Des différents modèles de théorie des jeux sont développés pour faire cette analyse. Dans ces modèles, en plus des investissements dans l’énergie solaire photovoltaïque, des investissements dans les batteries du côté des consommateurs sont aussi considérés. Ce rapport de thèse consiste en un bref aperçu suivi de quatre chapitres indépendants et d'une conclusion.
The uptake of affordable solar PV panels challenges the way in which costs of distribution networks are recuperated from consumers. Historically, consumers were charged for the use of the distribution network mainly according to their (net) volume of electricity consumed over a period of time. With such volumetric network charges, consumers installing PV panels contribute a lot less towards the recuperation of network costs. However, these consumers (prosumers) still rely on the network as much as they did before. The question investigated in this thesis is how to re-design the distribution network tariff in this changing context. Different game-theoretical models are developed to conduct this analysis. In the models, not only investments in solar PV but also investments in batteries at the consumer-side are considered. The thesis consists of a brief overview followed by four standalone chapters and a conclusion.

▼ It is generally considered that sumptuary law is an archaic form of governmental intervention that targeted the personal lives of people living in the early modern period in Europe, and has no modern significance. This thesis examines the post Federation period, between 1901 and 1927, to reveal that the sumptuary impulse was alive and well in modern Australia. This impulse was now transmuted by a new patrician elite into a form of social and legal regulation in order to control the clothing and entertainment choices of working Australians. The impulse was sustained through taxation and fiscal legal mechanisms (ie: tariffs), wage cases, and through the agency of wartime regulations. All of these measures recall the sumptuary laws of early modern Europe.
This period saw the fabric of Australian society undergo enormous social and political change. To a large extent, this change was prompted by the availability of unprecedented economic opportunities and personal freedoms. An increase in the attraction and availability of imported luxuries led the government to increase tariffs as part of their settled policy of protectionism. This thesis argues that, during this period of socio-economic development, protectionism shared many of the discursive features of the sumptuary laws of the early modern period. This association became even more evident during World War I, when government often relied on moral regulation to constrict the consumption practices of the Australian people to address wartime shortages and to provide for the military needs of the Empire.
This thesis accepts that protectionist policies did not aim to control the moral and personal behaviour of the individual but rather sought to protect nascent or struggling domestic industries. It was in the effect of these policies where the sumptuary impulse was apparent. By the beginning of the 1920s, this policy of protectionism, with frequent increases in tariffs on imported clothing, changed the language and method of the sumptuary impulse into one of rationality. These types of measures existed in a direct line back to the early sumptuary laws, one facet of which sought to protect industries. However, by the mid-1920s, the association began to wane when moralisation served a secondary role in protectionist discourse. By 1927, the regulatory objective became pure rational protectionism rather than the moralisation that was evident throughout the first two decades following Federation.

With the disclosure of the conclusions of the Republic of Ireland’s Smart Metering Trials, this report intends to summarize the experience and the Consumer Behavior results. I also complement the Irish report by examining the effect of demographic and attitudinal variables in the change of electricity consumption during the trial and by studying the accuracy of the participants’ perception of the change in their consumptions and bills during the experience. The main conclusion is that the participants were not able to take full advantage of the potentiality of the Time-of-Use tariffs to reduce bills and did not have a clear perception of their consumptions and spending, which may have prevented them of achieving better results.

▼ The shift towards more renewable energy sources is imminent, this shift is accelerated by the technological advancement and the rise of environmental awareness. However, this shift causes major operational problems to the current grid that is optimised for unidirectional power flow. Besides the operational problems, there are problems related to the optimal tariff scheme. In this thesis a study on the effect of the adoption of photovoltaic solar panels and the electric vehicles on the households' electricity demand profile is presented. The change on the demand profile is going to affect the current tariffs, this effect is also explored in this thesis. In this thesis real life data on household electricity use and photovoltaic power production was used. For electric vehicle charging simulated data was used. Besides that, a demand response scheme for electric vehicle is proposed in order to estimate the savings potential of this demand response on the electricity bill. The results show that the change in the demand profile is not merely a change in the total energy consumption, but it is a change in the power peaks as well. The peaks change significantly in condominiums and rental apartments, in this households' type it increases by around 80%, while in detached and row houses little change is noticed on the peaks, yet they still increase by around 10%. The demand response shows around 1- 12% savings in the distribution bill depending on the household, however it showed more incentives for condominiums and rental apartments. The current distribution tariffs perform asymmetrically with the various households. However, one tariff ensures 11.7 MSEK financial revenue for the distribution system operator, this is higher than the other tariffs' revenue by more than 28.5%. The new prospective situation requires totally different tariffs that ensure a balance between firstly a reasonable revenue for the distribution system operator and secondly incentives for consumers to self produce electricity as well as to reduce their peaks.

▼ This thesis concerns the interrelationship of fiscal policy and political culturepresents an economic analysis of in late medieval Lucca in the context of its political culture and an evolving legislative traditiona. In the thirty years following Lucca’s emancipation from Pisa in 1369, the constituents of this nominally popular republic gradually accepted the hegemony of a single clan of silk merchants and international bankers, the Guinigi family. The evident acquiescence to disenfranchisement on the part of middle and upper class citizens flies in the face of assumptions about political struggle and honor exchange in the premodern Italian republics. In this study, I work towards a better understanding of the nature of this quiet revolution from the perspective of the city’s economic fortunes during that thirty-year period, as viewed through the records of its central customs house. To that end, I have focused on the documentary output of a single institution, the tax office called the court of the gabella maggiore. The gabella maggiore was the tariff on most goods entering or leaving the city; notaries working at the central clearing house registered manifests for every shipment that passed its threshold, the counterparts of the physical licenses issued to taxpayers for safe conduct. My approach relies on the rich survival of customs registers between 1373 and 1410, whose entries collectively provide a profile of urban commercial and industrial activity at the turn of the fifteenth century. By observing Lucchese commerce through through the lens of the city’s fiscal policy, which a topic has rightly received so much attention as a nexus of public and private interests in neighboring Florence and northern Italy in general, I aim to present a narrative that runs parallel to and informs the political history of the city in this period. The majority of the thesis, however, presents an institutional history of the gabella maggiore and a thorough analysis of three urban industries and the fiscal legislation designed to foster them. Ultimately, I have focused on a single institution, the tax office called the court of the gabella maggiore. The gabella maggiore was the tariff on most goods entering or leaving the city; notaries working at the central clearinghouse registered manifests for every shipment that passed its threshold, the counterparts of the physical licenses issued to taxpayers for safeconduct. My approach relies on the rich survival of customs registers between 1373 and 1410, whose entries collectively provide a profile of urban commercial and industrial activity at the turn of the fifteenth century. I fouound that this my material describes an ever-weakening market for local products, a picture completed by contemporary laments about failing businesses and poor fiscal health in the minutes of the city’s republican government. In the eyes of Lucca’s merchant-oligarchs, this economic decline threatened to destroy the precious independence of Lucca by fostering emigration, decreasing production, and…

▼ Preferential Trade Agreements are a major aspect of international trade and are the focus of many discussions of current policy and trade discussions. The common belief is that the current GATT/WTO policies of tariff manipulation and market
access are wholly incapable of their desired impact due to the vast complexities in the global trade environment. I study these established methods in a property rights framework and show these approaches are not as ineffective as believed. There are two
competing effects that a PTA has on relationship-specific investment, and for sufficiently productive firms, a trade agreement yields positive welfare gains.

▼ The textiles & clothing (T&C) sector has been one of the most regulated and protected sectors in global trade. Even though T&C occupies a lesser share of international trade than other sectors, it remains crucial to developing countries and least developed countries (LDCs). Issues in T&C trade revolve around the trade flow of T&C products from developing countries/LDCs to the prime markets of the EU, US and other developed countries. Developing countries compete for greater market access, which is often manipulated by developed countries to meet goals other than economics and trade. One of the key instruments in this manipulation were quantitative restrictions (better known as quotas). Quotas violated fundamental obligations under GATT. Adoption of the quota system meant that T&C was treated as an exception to the GATT framework. Quotas regulated global T&C trade from post-World War II through to 31 December 2004. From 1 January 2005, quotas were abolished in international T&C trade. This thesis examines the impact of quota elimination on international T&C trade. The objective of the thesis is to estimate the future direction of T&C trade after quota expiration. The thesis begins with a historical analysis of the quota system. The main observation from history is that T&C production always eventually moves to new countries which have comparative advantage. Imposing restrictions on trade in T&C merely postpones the day that production will shift to poorer nations. As such, measures which guarantee market access to specified developing countries are merely postponing the time when even poorer developing countries or LDCs will have the opportunity to produce and export T&C. The thesis analyses pre-expiration predictions and the conflicting interests on trade liberalisation amongst third world countries. These conflicting interests continue to this day. The thesis also examines major issues that affect global T&C trade and conducts case studies on major Asian T&C manufacturers, with a special focus on China and Pakistan. The underlying objective of the case studies is to analyse the pre-elimination estimates in order to predict the future direction of global T&C trade. Additionally, the thesis also assesses the efficacy of safeguards and anti-dumping measures as instruments of trade regulation after quota expiry.

▼ From 2000 to 2017, 64% of Maine’s pulp and paper processing mills shut down; these closures resulted in harmful effects to communities in Maine and beyond. One question this research asks is how will key macroeconomic and related variables for Maine’s forestry and logging industry change in the future? To answer this, we forecast key macroeconomic and related variables with a vector error correction (VEC) model to assess past and predict future economic contributions from Maine’s forestry and logging industry. The forecasting results imply that although the contribution of the industry in Maine would likely remain stable due to level prices and a slight increase in output, local Maine communities could be worse off due to decreases in employment and firms. We then incorporated these forecasts into a 3-stage modeling process to analyze how a negative shock to exchange rates from an increase in
tariffs could affect Maine’s employment and output. Our results suggest that increased
tariffs will reduce output and increase employment volatility in Maine. Rising uncertainty and costs of business operations suggest care should be taken when changing
tariffs and trade restrictions, especially when changes to business operations can harm markets and communities.

▼ The following master thesis is conducted on behalf of The Royal Institute of Technology and Manetos AB with the purpose of investigating potential business markets for the new innovation, the Digital Circuit Breaker (DCB). The DCB is a mean for digitalising the distribution board, which is the middleman between households’ electrical appliances and the electrical grid. Through this digitalisation, a two-way communication between households and the grid can emerge, creating possibilities for demand side flexibility and energy management. The technology also provides more transparency for homeowners and real estate owners into households’ and buildings’ energy consumption, through monitoring and disaggregation. The study found that the energy landscape is facing significant challenges for the future. The integration of more intermittent energy, unpredictable energy consumption, new power consuming technologies and an aging grid were examples of challenges which potentially could jeopardize the security of electric supply. Many of these challenges however were also found to be issues which the DCB could potentially solve. It was also found that power-based tariffs spoke in favour of the DCB. Based on the overall empirical results, the study found that there is a need amongst utilities for demand side flexibility solutions and that there is a need amongst homeowners for electricity transparency and monitoring tools. This gives rise to a situation where the possibility to commercialize the DCB exists. By making the DCB a demand flexibility solution for utilities and a transparency and monitoring tool for homeowners, the needs for both utilities and homeowners can be fulfilled. The recommendations towards Manetos were to focus on the business markets electric utilities, more specifically municipally owned grid companies, and homeowners. It was found that the municipally owned grid companies focused more on socioeconomics than profit based grid companies. Furthermore, the municipally owned grid companies that had powerbased tariffs in place today showed great interest in the DCB as a tool for better managing electrical load and avoiding power peaks. For homeowners it was found that the people who owned electric vehicles or had direct electric heating showed great interest in an electricity management tool such as the DCB. The study also found real estate companies to be a business market of interest, however, not enough interviews were conducted in order to draw conclusions for the markets viability. Therefore, further investigation of the real estate company market is recommended.
Följande examensarbete har utförts på uppdrag av Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan och Manetos AB med syftet att undersöka potentiella affärsmarknader för en ny innovation kallad den Digitala Brytaren (DCB – Digital Circuit Breaker). DCBn är ett verktyg för att digitalisera elskåpet, vilket fungerar som en mellanhand mellan hushåll och elnätet. Denna digitalisering möjliggör för tvåvägskommunikation mellan hushåll och elnät,…

▼ Esta dissertação apresenta uma proposta de construção de uma nova metodologia voltada à estrutura tarifária de sistemas elétricos, considerando grupos de consumidores de média e de baixa tensão. A discussão mostra a necessidade de aprimoramento da atual estrutura tarifária brasileira para os consumidores atendidos pelos sistemas de distribuição de energia. Também os principais aspectos necessários para uma estrutura mais eficiente, justa e consistente, baseada nos fundamentos da teoria econômica, são aqui considerados. Nesse contexto, realizou-se uma pesquisa sobre as tarifações praticadas em diversos países, identificando suas principais características e potenciais aplicabilidades neste estudo. Em relação às simulações computacionais, foi desenvolvido um algoritmo para determinação dos preços das tarifas dos consumidores atendidos por uma dada distribuidora, considerando as características socioeconômicas e operacionais de sua área de concessão. Por fim, apresentam-se os resultados obtidos a partir da simulação de novas tarifas, baseados em um estudo de caso de uma concessionária da região Sudeste do Brasil. Assim, foram comprovadas a aplicabilidade e eficiência da metodologia desenvolvida neste trabalho, no que diz respeito à segmentação do mercado da distribuidora nas opções tarifárias propostas e a potenciais aplicações em projetos piloto.
This dissertation presents a proposal for the construction of a new methodology for electricity distribution pricing, considering medium and low voltage consumer groups. The discussion shows the need for improvements in the current tariff structure for Brazilian consumers supplied by distribution systems. Also, main necessary aspects for a more efficient, fair and consistent rate design, based on the fundamentals of economic theory, are herein considered. In this context, a research on the pricing methods applied in different countries was carried out, identifying their key characteristics and potential applicability for this study. Regarding computer simulations, an algorithm was developed to determine the tariffs of consumers supplied by a certain distribution company, considering the social, economic and operational characteristics of its concession area. Finally, the results obtained from the simulation of new tariffs are presented, based on a case study for a company located in the southeast of Brazil. Thus, it was proved the applicability and efficiency of the methodology developed in this work, regarding the utility market segmentation on the proposed tariff options and potential applications in pilot projects.

▼ This dissertation covers both policy-oriented and theory-based topics in International Economics. The first two chapters cover financial policy related to the capital account, while the third chapter covers tariff policy related to the current account.
The first chapter examines the theoretical value of capital controls in reducing the probability of bank runs. I develop a global game model with information-based bank runs and strategic complementarities within and between foreign and domestic creditors. My analysis appears to be the first to model the interconnectedness of foreign and domestic creditor behavior. The framework pins down the probability of a bank run and shows that a capital control can lower the probability of a domestic bank run and of capital flight. I also find that a control on outflows is relatively more effective than a control on inflows. Finally, I test the model's implications using the abnormal returns of Brazilian and South Korean bank stock prices as a proxy for the probability of bank runs.
The second chapter analyzes the policy actions of Brazil and Chile between 2009 and the third quarter of 2011, when Brazil deployed capital account regulations and Chile intervened in its currency markets. I examine the effectiveness of each of these actions and the extent to which the actions of Brazil caused capital flow spillovers in the Chilean market. Consistent with the peer-reviewed literature on the subject, I find that capital account regulations had small but significant effects on the shifting the composition of capital inflows toward longer-term investment, on the level and volatility of the exchange rate, on asset prices, and on the ability of Brazil to have independence in monetary policy. Brazil's regulations did also temporarily cause an increase in capital flows into Chile. Chile's interventions did not have a lasting impact on the Chilean exchange rate or on asset prices beyond the initial announcements of the policies. In Brazil's case we thus conclude that Brazil's regulations helped the nation 'lean against the wind,' but were not enough to tame the 'tsunami' of post-crisis capital flows.
The third chapter uses a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model calibrated to late nineteenth century parameters to show that protectionism alleviated the skilled wage gap. Had the U.S. chosen free trade instead of protective tariffs, wage inequality generally would have been higher in the post-bellum era. The imposition of high tariffs after the Civil War may have dampened what some economic historians believe to have been a long-term upward trend in inequality – the rising portion of the American-Kuznets' curve.

▼ Em Moçambique, o consumo energético cresceu 56% entre 2002 e 2008, para tal tendo
contribuído o alargamento da base da população com acesso a energia, fruto da aposta do
Governo na electrificação nacional e do crescimento das indústrias de consumo intensivo de
energia. E a maior estabilidade macroeconómica e política que o País alcançou determinou o
crescimento económico do País, com impactos no rendimento disponível (crescimento do
PIB) e na modernização do tecido empresarial público e privado (em particular os serviços),
cada vez mais exigente em termos de utilização de energia.
De forma a expandir e atrair o sector privado para a indústria de electricidade de modo
sustentável, as tarifas devem reflectir os custos de fornecimento de serviços pelas empresas,
isto é serem competitivas e adaptadas ao mercado, visto que constituem a principal fonte de
financiamento para a expansão do sector de energia elétrica.
In Mozambique, energy consumption grew 56% between 2002 and 2008, largely due to the
expansion of the population with access to electricity, the government's investment in
national electrification and the growth of energy – intensive industries. The macroeconomic
and political stability determined the country's economic growth, with significant impacts on
disposable income and on the modernization of the public and private business (including
services), increasingly demanding in terms of energy use.
In order to expand and attract the private sector to the electricity industry in a sustainable
manner, tariffs must reflect the costs of providing services for companies, i.e. be competitive
and market driven, since they are the main source of funding for the expansion of the
electricity sector.

▼ The increasing environmental threat because of unsustainable pollution levelshave forced E.U. to take further actions by enforcing directives in the electricity sector. The E.U. directives, enforced in 2002, aim to increase the level of electricity produced from renewable sources. In order to fulfill their received national target of green electricity, the E.U. members have, in most cases, either adopted a feed-in tariff or tradable green certificates. Since it is in a government’sinterest to minimize expenditure while still maximizing incentives when adopting a policy, this study has evaluated the cost-efficiency differences of a FIT and aTGC from a governmental perspective. This has been done by using two different models, one which measures total governmental expenditures in the energy sector and one which only measures the subsidies in the energy sector. The findings suggest that a TGC can be up to 159% more cost-efficient than a FIT, depending on how it is measured. The total expenditure model could establish the costefficiency differences with a significance of 5%, while the subsidy model could not establish the differences on a satisfying significance level

▼ Existing political economy models rely on inter-industry differences such as factor endowment or factor specificity to explain the politics of trade policy-making. However, this dissertation finds that a large proportion of variation in applied tariff rates in fact arises within industry in many countries. This dissertation consists of three essays. In Chapter 1, I offer a theory of trade liberalization that explains how product differentiation in economic markets leads to firm-level lobbying in political markets. I argue that while high product differentiation eliminates the collective action problem exporting firms confront, political objections to product-specific liberalization will decline due to less substitutability and the possibility of serving foreign markets based on the norms of reciprocity. Chapter 2 presents empirical analyses focusing on firm-level lobbying in the U.S. I construct a new dataset on lobbying by all publicly traded manufacturing firms in the U.S. after parsing the 838,588 lobbying reports filed under the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995. I find that productive exporting firms are more likely to lobby to reduce
tariffs, especially when their products are sufficiently differentiated. I also find that highly differentiated products have lower tariff rates. Finally, Chapter 3 broadens the scope of my analysis to explain the large variation in
tariffs across countries. Specifically, I collect 2 billion tariff-line data across 181 countries for past 25 years. I find that countries liberalize industries particularly with partners whom they exchange differentiated products within industry. My dissertation challenges the common focus on industry-level lobbying for protection while emphasizing the role of firms in demanding trade liberalization.

The WTO
Non-Agricultural Market Access (NAMA) negotiations and developing

▼ The Non-Agricultural Market Access Negotiations (NAMA)
are being undertaken as part of the Doha Round of negotiations.
NAMA negotiations are aimed at the trade liberalisation of
industrial goods. Pursuant to the ‘development agenda’ adopted for
the Doha Round, the NAMA negotiations also emphasise the
development component. Particular emphasis is be made on tariff
reductions in products of export interest to developing countries
and the negotiations are to take special account of the needs and
interests of developing countries, including through less than full
reciprocity in accordance with the General Agreement on
Tariffs and
Trade (GATT) provisions on special and differential treatment
(SDT). This research attempts to determine this ‘development
agenda’ through the prism of special and differential treatment as
provided for in the NAMA mandate. An analysis of the SDT provisions
in the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and their application within
the multilateral trading system reveals that SDT is a very
controversial concept. Developing countries have used SDT to escape
the strictures of multilateral trading rules and developed
countries have used it as a ‘carrot and stick’ tool, to gain
concessions from developing countries in other areas. SDT has
further been revealed as a concept whose meaning and content is not
very precise. While the provisions in the GATT as well as the
Enabling Clause make good political and economic sense, they are
not really actionable. This is because the concept is characterised
by best-endeavour provisions that lack any legal force and cannot
be adjudicated in the WTO Dispute Settlement Body. Developed
countries have thus not been called and cannot be called, legally,
to account for lack of delivery on their commitments and
obligations with regard to SDT. This has effectively constrained
the use of SDT as a development tool within the WTO, and, being the
only tool being utilised, there needs to be found an alternative
way to address development needs in the WTO. The WTO has sought to
address this through efforts to amend SDT to make it more precise,
effective and operational. The content and meaning of the
‘development agenda’ itself in the Doha Round is very elusive and
an effort is made in this paper to determine the appropriate
meaning of development in relation to the multilateral trading
system. Development as an objective in the WTO is not novel to the
Doha Round. The WTO is littered with references to development and
the betterment of the human condition in its preamble to agreements
and other provisions. Development has to be considered in al its
three dimensions: social, political and economical. While this
paper does not advocate that the WTO become a fully fledged
development institution, it can shape its development agenda in
such a way that benefits on the economic front are designed to
stimulate socio-economic development as well. An analysis of the
NAMA modalities reveals that mercantilist objectives have triumphed
in the negotiations and SDT has been lost by the wayside.…

▼ This dissertation consists of three essays which use
the Arab League countries as a natural setting for empirical
research quantifying the effects of different features of this
region’s trade policies on member countries.
The first essay
examines the effects of the different features of the Arab League’s
trade policy (preferential trade agreements, market power, and
bound
tariffs) on the multilateral
tariffs applied by its member
countries. Overall, our results suggest that preferential
agreements have a building block effect on multilateral
tariffs
because Arab League members tend to lower their applied
Most-Favored Nations (MFN)
tariffs as they grant enhanced
preferential access to their partners. Unlike earlier studies, we
find that the formation of a customs union (CU) among Arab League
members led to the same degree of external trade liberalization
than forming a free trade area (FTA). Moreover, we find that high
degree of importer market power tends to mitigate the building
block effect of forming preferential trade agreements.
The second
essay investigates the effects of trade policy uncertainty on the
entry decisions of exporters to Arab League markets. Using a
product-level dataset on World Trade Organization (WTO) members
exporting to Arab League countries for the years 1998-2015, we
provide empirical evidence that trade policy uncertainty, a result
of significant gaps between tariff bindings and applied
tariffs
(tariff water), led to the reduced entry of exporters in Arab
League markets. We then extend our analysis to investigate the
effects of policy uncertainty combined with additional uncertainty
related to falling incomes associated with the 2007-2010 worldwide
economic downturn. Our results suggest that this macroeconomic
shock has contributed to a considerably more uncertain economic
environment, thereby affecting the decision to enter these markets.
We also analyze exporter decisions to enter new markets when the
Arab League importing country exhibits high levels of market power.
We find empirical evidence confirming that the effects of
uncertainty on entry are magnified in the presence of high levels
of market power.
The third essay examines the effects of trade
preferences granted by members of the Arab League on these
countries’ international import prices. According to the
international trade literature, preferential trade agreements
(PTAs) lower trade barriers on imported goods from preferential
partners, leading to consumer gains from better quality products,
lower prices for existing products, and deteriorating terms of
trade of the importing country relative to preferential partners.
Using product-level data from 1998-2011 with information on
quality-adjusted international import price indexes, applied MFN
tariffs, preferential
tariffs, and market power for eleven Arab
League countries, we estimate the international import price
effects of trade agreements formed by Arab League countries. We
find that a one percentage point decrease in applied MFN
tariffs
leads to a fall in…

▼ This study, set within the contextual background of Victorian politics, seeks to identify the economic, political and social implications of tariff protection for the Castlemaine region from 1870-1901.
The introduction of the Victorian tariff in 1865 precipitated a reversal of earlier attitudes towards protection by politicians and their constituents. Reasons are sought for changes in the perceptions of the Castlemaine electorate and its political representatives towards the tariff between 1870 and Federation.
An examination has been made of the role of the tariff in the creation of employment in the regions primary and secondary industries together with its influence on politicians, primary and secondary industry leaders and workers. Also explored is the relative impact of the tariff on the economic performance of Castlemaine industries, whether producing for export or domestic markets.

Retrospective and Prospective Analysis of Policy Incentives For Wind Power in Portugal.

▼ Concerns over climate change impacts, goals to increase environmental sustainability, and questions about the reliability of fuel supply have led several countries to pursue the goal of increasing the share of renewable energy sources in their electricity grid. Portugal is one of the leading countries for wind electricity generation. Wind diffusion in Portugal started in the early 2000’s and in 2013 wind electricity generation accounted for more than 24% (REN 2013b). The large share of wind in Portuguese electricity production is a consequence of European Union (E.U.) mandates and national policies, mainly feed-in tariffs. Discussions on the appropriate policy design and level of incentive to promote renewable energy adoption and meet further renewable capacity goals are ongoing in Portugal, namely in what concerns the level and duration of feed-in tariffs that should be provided to independent power producers. This, in turn, raises the question of whether the past feed-in tariff levels were well designed to achieve the goals of a larger penetration of renewables in the Portuguese grid. The policies to induce wind adoption have led to a growth in wind installed capacity and share of electricity generated by wind in Portugal from less than 1% in 2000 to approximately 24% in 2013, but questions arise on their cost-effectiveness and whether alternative policy designs would have led to the same goal. vi The Portuguese wind feed-in tariffs are a guaranteed incentive which has varied between 85- 180/MWh over the last 20 years (ERSE 2011), and remained approximately constant since 2001 at 101/MWh. They are currently guaranteed for 20 years of production or 44GWh of electricity generation per MW installed (Diário da República 2013) - the longest period among countries with high wind electricity share. They do not incorporate any digression rate besides inflation, and are guaranteed for every unit of electricity fed to the grid. There are no power plants that have already been decommissioned despite being in operation for more than 20 years, favoring from new, detailed and hard-to-follow agreements in the legislation. All wind parks that are currently in operation have received feed-in tariffs since they connected to the grid, and are expected to keep receiving them at least until December 2019, and up to December 2036 - depending on year of connection and agreement under the most recent legislation (Diário da República 2013). The 2020 renewable energy goals in Portugal include having 6.8 GW of installed wind capacity, which implies the connection of 2 GW in the next years. If no further grid investments are made and wind capacity increases up to 100 MW to the connection point that we analyze, total annual electricity spill is likely to range the 20% to 40%. If the connection grid policy is designed to allow for wind spill, already ‘occupied’ connection points will be available to new entrants, lowering the total investment costs for new wind parks and increasing their profitability. This thesis is divided in three main…

▼ This dissertation project focuses on the emergence of capitalism in sugar-producing colonies during the early 20th century and seeks to answer two specific questions: how did American and Japanese empires export capitalist modes of production to their respective colonies and how did these new modes of production transform local social class relations. Whereas Japan acquired Taiwan, Korea and Manchuria after defeating China in 1895, the United States acquired the Philippines, Cuba, Puerto Rico and Guam after the 1898 Spanish-American War. Despite the fact that Taiwan, the Philippines and Cuba became sugar-producing powerhouses, the social class relations that emerged during their early 20th century colonial experiences differed drastically. I argue that the specific interaction between colonial policies reorganizing property rights and existing class dynamics in the newly acquired colonies led to a complete reorganization of the colony’s socioeconomic structure. In each colony, the newly formed class dynamics not only led to higher levels of production, but also established different levels of class inequality and economic development.This dissertation is a monograph consisting of six chapters. The first chapter describes the methodological and theoretical imperatives delineating the argument. The second chapter shows the similarities between American and Japanese state development projects. I find that whereas the Japanese state was supportive of its imperial expansion, American imperialism faced staunch opposition from within, shaping its colonial policy. The third chapter discusses Japan’s colonization of Taiwan, a small island neglected by the Chinese government. I find that Japanese colonial policy coerced Taiwanese peasants to grow sugar cane by blocking their participation in other economic sectors. Chapter four focuses on the American invasion of the Philippines, a large archipelago neglected by the Spanish crown. Whereas the American administration encouraged American private investment in the colony, Filipino landed elites halted the American amassment of Filipino agricultural land through the creation of a Filipino-owned commercial bank. The fifth chapter discusses Cuban raw sugar. Before the American invasion, Cuba had a local class of extremely successful sugar millers. I find that the Platt Amendment and Reciprocity Act placed Cuban sugar millers in direct competition with American sugar magnates and millers from other insular properties, leading to the dissolution of Cuba’s sugar miller class. In the concluding chapter, I give an overview of the ways colonial investment affected the well- being of their colonized subjects.

▼ My dissertation is composed of three chapters that focus on competition and regulation in the telecommunications industry. The first chapter investigates the main determinants of mobile service prices and evaluates the impact of market structure and regulations on retail prices. Both a simultaneous equations model and a reduced form model are estimated using a panel dataset for 36 countries over the period of 1999-2010. The market concentration of mobile network operators (MNOs) has a statistically significant effect on prices in the reduced form regression. The coefficients of regulatory variables, such as mobile number portability (MNP), mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) and mobile termination rates (MTR), are not significant in both estimations, suggesting that it is hard to conclude that ex post regulations are effective in mature markets. Country-specific cost factors such as population density, interest rates and unit labor costs have positive impacts on prices. The second chapter examines the structure of the household expenditure on telecommunications services and their relationship with other existing expenditures in South Korea. To estimate the demand for telecommunications services, the linear approximate Almost Ideal Demand System is implemented. The short-run relationship is estimated using a seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) with first differenced series of data, and the long-run relationship is examined through a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). Both empirical results suggest that the household demand for telecommunications services is income inelastic over the period of 1990.1Q to 2013.2Q while it becomes price elastic after 2006. The results also show that recent telecommunications services have a complementary relationship with public transportation and substitution relationship with cultural services and private education. The third chapter analyzes the optimal features of three-part tariffs in the presence of heterogeneous consumers for the monopoly case and the duopoly case. Under monopoly case, the low demand users consume at the allowance level while the high demand users consume above it. The marginal utilities of consumption for the low demand type and high demand type exceed marginal cost, and the lump sum fee extracts all the surplus of low demand type. Under duopoly, asymmetric equilibria do not exist and only a symmetric three-part tariff can be achieved as an equilibrium where marginal utilities for all consumers equal marginal cost, confirming that a standard Bertrand outcome holds under the three-part tariff with heterogeneous consumers.

▼ Este trabalho avalia se as tarifas internacionais são barreiras às exportações de biocombustíveis pelo Brasil. Para tanto, apresenta-se o contexto histórico que possibilitou o maior interesse comercial em uma fonte de energia alternativa aos derivados do petróleo. Há também a exposição sobre a evolução do etanol e do biodiesel, propiciando a estas duas espécies de biocombustível almejarem, além do seu fornecimento para consumo interno, a comercialização com o exterior. Nos discursos e diálogos, do governo brasileiro e da iniciativa privada, existem declarações constantes apontando que as tarifas de importação praticadas por grandes centros consumidores de combustível, como União Européia e Estados Unidos da América, impedem o desenvolvimento de um mercado internacional de biocombustível, apesar do aspecto ambiental e malefícios inerentes ao petróleo indicarem que uma fonte de energia limpa e complementar ao petróleo seria bem-vinda. Em busca do seu objetivo, o estudo também examina a tributação nacional sobre os biocombustíveis e as condutas brasileiras para se alcançar a internacionalização dos biocombustíveis. Finalmente, os debates internacionais na OMC também fornecem ferramentas úteis para se alcançar uma conclusão sobre a interferência das tarifas internacionais na pretensão do Brasil.
This study evaluates whether international tariffs are barriers to exports biofuels of Brazil. To this end, it presents the historical context that enabled the greatest commercial interest in an alternative energy source to oil. There is also an exhibition of the evolution of ethanol and biodiesel, which allowed these two kinds of biofuel long for, apart from providing the same for domestic consumption, trade with the outside world. In speeches and dialogues, the Brazilian government and private enterprise, there are statements in pointing out that the import tariffs charged by major centers of fuel, as the European Union and the United States, hinder the development of an international market for biofuels, although the environmental aspect and drawbacks inherent in the oil indicate that a clean energy source and supplement the oil would be welcome. In pursuit of its goal, the study also examines the national tax on biofuels and the Brazilian pipeline to achieve the internationalization of biofuels. Finally, the international discussions at the WTO also provide useful tools to reach a conclusion about the interference of international tariffs on the pretense of Brazil.

▼ When electricity demand is at or near its highest level, more expensive and less efficient generators have to be dispatched by the system operator in order to meet the additional peak demand. The utilization of these units results in higher generating costs that translates into higher wholesale electricity prices. In some markets within the United States wholesale prices can fluctuate from less than 5 cents per kWh to as much as 30 cents per kWh. Under these circumstances, even a small decrease in electricity demand can result in a significant reduction in wholesale and aggregate end-user prices. In order to achieve these reductions, peak consumption electricity prices can be changed over time in such a way that they reflect wholesale prices more closely. Assuming that electricity customers are price responsive, customers would react to this variation in prices by changing their consumption patterns. This reaction to changes in electricity prices is known as Demand Response (DR).
Although several pilot studies have found evidence of customers’ responsiveness to price signals, the reported levels of response to similar changes in price are still variable; making price-based DR programs an unreliable model for dealing with system contingencies and planning. However, as more data becomes available, it will be possible to have a more accurate understanding of the potential for broader implementation of Economic DR programs.
Using data from a pilot study carried out by Green Mountain Power (GMP) as a component of the eEnergy Vermont Smart Grid project in Rutland, VT I performed a series of studies that seek to provide evidence of changes in electricity demand due to price signals. The proposed dissertation is organized as follows:
Chapter 2 of this thesis provides more details on the origins, legislation and current status of demand response in the United States, including a review of the current literature on dynamic pricing that shows different methodological trends. Additionally, I examine five Consumer Behavior Studies (CBS) funded by the Smart Grid Investment Grant (SGIG). The studies analyze different dynamic
tariffs and some of them discuss the importance of enabling technologies. Research shows that customers do respond to dynamic pricing. However, more evidence is needed in order to assess the persistence of these responses.
Chapter 3 provides an impact analysis of a residential DR pilot study carried out by Green Mountain Power in the city of Rutland, Vermont. This analysis provides evidence of reductions in electricity demand during critical peak events due to price signals.
In Chapter 4 I estimate the relative impact of socioeconomic factors on households’ electricity consumption patterns. I use a Descriptive Factor Analysis (DFA) to group previously measured variables that are used as a predictor of electricity consumption. Results of this analysis indicate that, among the measured predictors, number of air conditioners, ceiling fans and people living in the household, have the biggest influence in…

▼ JEL Codes: Q42; N74
Policies chosen to promote renewables can vary significantly and determine different levels of deployment, efficiency and technological innovation. Instruments in this sector have been mostly directed towards electricity generation and are usually divided into two main types: feed-in tariffs and quota obligations. The former is more frequent in the European Union and is associated with higher levels of deployment, as well as higher policy costs. However, support schemes can be adjusted in order to minimize their shortcomings. Tariffs can be reduced progressively as deployment targets are reached and quota obligation schemes can be designed to recognize different technological development stages.
Policies in Portugal have initially been based on investment grants to promote the switch from fuel oil, an attempt to reduce energy dependence and keep the industrial sector competitive after the two oil shocks of the 70s. This approach continued after the accession to the European Union and feed-in tariffs per se were only introduced in 1999. However, it would only be with the introduction of technology premiums in the pricing mechanism in 2001 that significant renewable deployment was to be seen. This thesis describes the policy evolution and includes a detailed analysis of the bioenergy sector, where the combined heat and power feed-in tariff has successfully triggered new power capacity promoted mostly by industrial companies in the wood sector, particularly pulp and paper. Incentives for heat production have been scarce but the sector has fought back its troubles by making good use of strong support policies in other Member States.
As políticas para a promoção de energias renováveis podem variar significativamente e determinar diferentes níveis de desenvolvimento, eficiência e inovação tecnológica. Os instrumentos neste sector têm sido maioritariamente direccionados para a produção de electricidade e são geralmente divididos em dois tipos principais: tarifas de aquisição e quotas. O primeiro é mais frequente na União Europeia e associado a níveis mais elevados de desenvolvimento, apesar de o serem também os custos de política. Os esquemas de apoio podem ser ajustados por forma a minimizar as suas desvantagens. As tarifas podem ser progressivamente reduzidas à medida que as metas de desenvolvimento são atingidas e os esquemas baseados em quotas podem ser desenhados para acomodar os diferentes estádios de desenvolvimento tecnológico.
As políticas em Portugal estiveram inicialmente suportadas em ajudas ao investimento para promover a substituição de fuelóleo, uma tentativa de reduzir a dependência energética e manter o sector industrial competitivo depois dos choques petrolíferos da década de 70. Esta abordagem prosseguiu após a entrada na União Europeia e as tarifas de aquisição per se foram apenas introduzidas em 1999. Contudo, apenas com a introdução de um prémio tecnológico no mecanismo de preço em 2001 foi possível registar um desenvolvimento significativo das renováveis.

▼ Trade policy was a prominent economic and political issue in the United States between 1789 and 1860, culminating in the Civil War. Many historians have characterized this period as pitting mutually exclusive economic systems, an industrializing, free-labor North and a slave-based agricultural South, against one another. The traditional interpretation is that the North eagerly supported
tariffs and economic protection that they provided, while the South stood in opposition. The Nullification Crisis of 1832-1833 is frequently cited as evidence that the tariff was a sectional issue and some historians go so far as to describe the tariff as a significant cause of the Civil War.
This traditional view of early American trade policy merits reconsideration. The First Industrial Revolution, rather than competing labor systems, provides the appropriate context through which antebellum trade policy ought to be viewed and understood. An examination of congressional roll call votes on important trade policy legislation, coupled with economic census data, provides compelling evidence that the tariff was national in scope, pitting economic nationalists, who supported protective principles, against liberals, who supported free trade. By the time of the Civil War, the tariff issue was clearly not demarcated by geographical region.
The debates over trade policy before the Civil War were dynamic, and highly influenced by interests and ideas. As industrialization spread throughout the United States, local economic interests were susceptible to change, which were manifested through the votes of elected legislators. Likewise, ideas played an important role, as Americans debated the respective merits of a strong national policy to serve the community-at-large through national military and economic strength versus a desire for an egalitarian approach involving minimal federal government involvement.
The American trade policy debate was sectional in nature for a brief period between 1824 and 1833. Prior to that time, trade policy was shaped by foreign relations. By 1824 the First Industrial Revolution had commenced in the United States, though it was limited to the northeastern part of the nation. Between 1824 and 1833 there were bitter debates over the tariff, caused by the industrialization had been introduced to part, but not all, of the nation. However, by the 1830s other portions of the country, including the South, began experiencing an industrialization "takeoff" process. An examination of various tariff bills in 1841 and 1842, when subjected to statistical modeling, demonstrates that the relationship between capital investment in manufactures per capita for a political unit (congressional district or state) and the trade policy voting pattern of its senators or representatives was significant. In comparison, geographical region and slave population were not significant factors.
By the time of the
tariffs of 1841 and 1842, trade policy was…

▼ Mestrado em Economia e Políticas Públicas
Os resíduos são um dos problemas ambientais a nível mundial. Uma das adversidades na sua gestão, prende-se com a utilização de medidas de tarifação efetivas, que incentivem os cidadãos a adotarem atitudes que se traduzam, na redução da produção de resíduos. O direito comunitário e nacional determina a introdução de tarifários que traduzam corretamente os custos de gestão destes serviços junto dos utilizadores. Pretende-se alcançar um tarifário que sustente financeiramente o serviço em causa, com medidas de carácter económico e educativo, indutoras de comportamentos eficientes na conservação e correta gestão dos recursos.
Este trabalho teve como objetivo fazer uma abordagem do sector dos resíduos urbanos em Portugal, que permitiu confirmar uma desadequação entre os custos e as receitas do serviço de resíduos urbanos.
Depois, abordou-se as questões da eficiência e equidade, onde se concluiu que a tarifa dos RU não considera os requisitos de eficiência económica, porque não atende o "princípio do utilizador-pagador", assim como, em termos técnicos, o modelo regulatório não incentiva à eficiência. Quanto à equidade, está previsto o "princípio da acessibilidade económica", onde se prevê que os tarifários devem atender à capacidade financeira dos utilizadores finais.
Por último, analisámos o sistema de tarifário PAYT (sistema que tarifa de acordo com a produção), onde se verificou que este sistema foi desenvolvido para responder aos critérios de eficiência e equidade. No entanto, a elaboração de um sistema PAYT reveste-se de enorme complexidade e implica onerosos custos de implementação, compreendendo-se assim, a cautela das Autarquias quanto à sua adoção imediata.
Currently, municipal solid waste is a major global environmental problem. One of the many issues in the management of this relates to the difficulties in using methods of effective pricing, which would encourage citizens to adopt attitudes that result ultimately in the reduction of waste production. The EU and national law are considering the introduction of tariffs that appropriately reflect the costs of managing these services to end-users. It's intended to introduce a tariff that supports the costs of the service as an economic and educational instrument, with the objective of managing the financial resources effectively.
The analysis of the Portuguese municipal waste sector shows a mismatch between costs and revenues from service.
Having looked at the issues of efficiency and equity, we have concluded that the tariff of MSW does not meet the requirements of economic efficiency. On the one hand the fee charged does not meet the "benefit principle" and in addition, technically the current regulatory model discourages the efficiency of services. As for equity, the law includes the "principle of affordability," which states that the tariff must meet the financial capacity of end-users.
Finally, we examined the PAYT system (Pay-as-You-Throw), where it was found that this system was developed in order to meet the…

▼ This study concentrates on the pricing of seaport infrastructure which includes port charges on the use of access channels and berth facilities. A closer examination of published port tariffs reveals that the port entry and berth use-related port tariffs, often referred to as channel dues and berth occupancy charges, are differentiated based on vessel volume (Gross Tonnage, Gross Registered Tonnage and Length Over All), ship type (container ship, general cargo ship, tanker) and traffic type (foreign-going vessels and coastal vessels). These two charges are one of the main revenue sources for a port authority; however knowledge of the design and imposition of these charges is currently opaque, but nevertheless very useful to port users. This thesis explores the determinants of port infrastructure charges that underpin port pricing policies in world ports. The main objectives of the study are:
(a) Identify and conduct an econometric analysis of the effect of various factors on seaport infrastructure charges.
(b) To assess the applicability of competing pricing models (pricing approaches) currently used by seaports in different countries and regions in the world.
(c) To assess the determinants of port infrastructure tariff design and practices in world seaports and discuss their implications for port management.
This thesis brings to notice that, despite the discussion on port pricing theories such as cost-based, market based and cost-benefit theories, the empirical research on this topic remains very limited. Thus, with identified research gaps such as the determination of the level of knowledge that port authorities have in tariff design and their applicability, the thesis investigates the underlying factors influential to the design and practice of port infrastructure tariffs using both quantitative and qualitative research approaches.
First, the determinants of port infrastructure charges are studied empirically using data from 159 ports worldwide by employing the ordinary least square and simultaneous equation system method with channel dues and berth occupancy charges as the dependent variables. The result indicates that the pricing of seaport infrastructure is primarily cost-based but other factors are also relevant to the port pricing models currently used by seaports. Among those factors in particular, demand and the type of port management and governance model have been found to significantly impact the level of port infrastructure charges.
Second, to complement and triangulate some of the results found in the quantitative model, this thesis examines the primary data collected through an online survey of 67 international seaports to focus on the practical processes and strategic issues in infrastructure tariff design and practice. The questionnaire was sent to higher level seaport managers working in the areas of port tariffs. The contact details of port managers were obtained from the official port websites of respective port organisations. SPSS and AMOS statistical software were employed to analyse the…

▼ Customs duty represents an inescapable financial obligation in international trade. Such duties are determined by valuing the imported goods according to the classification of the goods. To classify the goods under an appropriate tariff heading is notoriously difficult – despite the almost trite principles from judicial decisions amongst the jurisdictions discussed in this study, such as the European Union, Australia, Canada and the United States of America.
In South Africa, the Customs and Excise Act 91 of 1964 defines the ambit of customs duties and ratifies the Harmonised System ("HS"). The HS allows for a uniform approach to tariff classification used by countries across the world accounting for in excess of 95% of the world trade. Countries that employ this system are obliged to incorporate the HS into such country's domestic legislation and to use all headings and subheadings of the HS without addition or alteration, together with the numerical codes and to apply the General Rules for Interpretation and all section, chapter and subheading notes.
Classification of goods is to be done objectively at the time of presentation of the goods to the tax authorities. The intentions of the importer or the descriptions of the goods in advertisements and manuals constitute inadmissible evidence. In the recent judgment of Smith Mining Equipment (Pty) Ltd v The Commissioner: South African Revenue Service1 ("Smith Mining") the court, however, opined that it was not obliged to consider the notes referred to above, in the absence of evidence on use of the specific vehicles at the different locations allowed for in the Tariff Headings. The Court expected the importer to present evidence on use and relied on evidence from the manual, whilst it ignored the evidence that the importer presented structured along the applicable tariff notes. The court's approach clamped on the Additional Rules in the USA and the more liberal approach applied in Canada, but stands in conflict with the approach in the European Union and the trite principles from the South African case law.

▼ This dissertation argues for the adoption of a new interpretative standard that urges the WTO adjudicator to explicitly take account of the economic heterogeneity of the WTO Membership when construing exemption provisions in the GATT 1994. In particular, the judicial decision maker should construe and interpret exemption provisions using the embedded standard of review, such that the Member States’ economic conditions enlighten the contextual interpretation of the language of the provision. This multilateral standard of review compels the adjudicator to accord conditional deference to developmental policies, as applied by a Member State in expression of its preferred economic strategy to expand the trade and production of goods and services. This dissertation examines the history of the standard of review in the GATT 1947 and GATT 1994 in order to critically examine its application to the construction and interpretation of the exemption provision of Article XI:2(a) GATT 1994. The proposed multilateral standard of review overcomes the post-modern critique of judicial practice by emphasizing the collaborative intent of the Membership, as revealed through the adjudicator’s understanding of the object and purpose of the agreement.
