3 1 Introduction

4 Introduction: Class objective: Present examples of real world policy evaluations using mathematical operation research instruments. Why: Assist decision making process. Necessity for ex-ant assessments of complex policies and agents behavior Class focus: mixed complementarity problems. Lets start!!! 4

5 Nonlinear and mixed complementarity problem Special case of Variational Inequality Mixed complementarity problem: Karush Kuhn Tucker conditions: Karush Kuhn Tucker conditions provides the necessary conditions for a solution in nonlinear programming to be optimal. It is a generalization of the method of Lagrange multipliers to inequality constraints. 5

6 2 Application 1 Electricity sector oligopolistic model

7 Application 1: How to evaluate the consequences to an electricity company of different CO2 prices (or a different ETS regime)? Which are the consequences of a increase on demand response for the market prices? What a nuclear phase-out means to electricity market prices? What are the competitors behavior changes if one company changes its strategies? How much CO2 emissions are avoided by implementing a renewable subsidy? 7

8 Application 1: Instrument: Electricity operations and expansion planning simulation. First step: Simulate a single electricity company optimization problem Second step: Introduce oligopolistic competition behavior 8

9 Electricity operations and expansion planning optimization model Company objective Profit maximization Cost minimization Risk aversion Market share. Time Horizon Long vs short run decisions Technology representation Economic production function Engeneering technical constraints Level of detail data requirements and problem dimension 9

13 Optimization model characteristics and advantages: How to solve it. Simplex algorithm Solvers (matlab, GAMs or even excel for very small problems) Formulation: Optimization problem Equivalent mixed complementarity model Potentials of optimization problem formulation Easy and fast to solve Suitable to introduce complexities In dimension (time and technology) In variables (integer and binary variables) 13

14 Optimization model limitations: Restringing assumptions Perfect competition vs. oligopolistic market Single firm modeling Competitors decisions does not reacts to firm decisions Suppliers prices are not changed by firm decisions (small company assumption) Single objective function we only consider one objective function at time when using an optimization framework. In order to deal with company decisions influences we would need to assume a conjectural variations approach, even so this would need to be exogenously defined from our model. What if we want to evaluate different companies competing and acting together? A iterative approach could be necessary, but not all primal and dual information would be shared between the problems. The mixed complementarity formulation alternative allows us to take into account simultaneous optimization problems all together 14

15 The electricity sector oligopolistic mixed complementarity model : The idea behind it is to develop the equivalent mixed complementarity formulation of each company in the market. Market clearing and demand conditions are used to link the agents behavior all together. We formulate a large equivalent problem with all optimization equilibrium conditions (KKT conditions) we share between all agents the primal and dual information of their respective problems. A different operation from one company directly changes the behavior of their competitors that by meantime could change again the behavior of the first agent. 15

18 MCP model characteristics and advantages: How to solve it. Path solver in GAMs or quadratic equivalent problem Formulation Non lineal mixed complementarity model (KKT complementarity slackness) Advantages Simulation of oligopolistic behavior Agents interactions Multiple markets (product, allowance, green certificates, ) 18

19 MCP model limitations: Dimensionality Memory requirements Complex and less efficient solver method Nonlinear Local optimal Integer and binary variables if introduced are much more difficult to deal 19

20 MCP case study example 1: ETS evaluation Linares, P.; Javier Santos, F.; Ventosa, L. ; Lapiedra, L. Incorporating oligopoly, CO2 emissions trading and green certificates into a power generation expansion model, Automatica, Volume 44, Issue 6, June Evaluates the impacts of the European Emissions Trading System and of a tradable green certificate market on the operation and investments of the Spanish electricity sector. Proves the feasibility of using such models with realistic information and great data detail Models simultaneously the electricity market, the emissions market and the green certificates markets Presents the oligopolistic formulation, with competition in quantities in the short term (Conjectural variation) and in generation capacity as in a Cornout model. 20

24 3 Application 2 Walrasian general equilibrium models

25 Computable General Equilibrium Model (CGE): Models a region, country or world economy Based on input output tables and Social accountability matrix Describes every economic flow between agents of the economy. It is composed by: Equilibrium set of variational equations (mixed complementarity formulation) that represents each economic agent behavior. Market clearing conditions. Macroeconomic closure assumptions. 25

26 CGE application examples: Main areas: Tax studies Agricultural and land use Capital and labor E3 models Bottom-up models Top-down models Cost minimization engineering models Environment General equilibrium models Great detail and computational requirements Energy Economics Macroeconomic and indirect effects evaluation Data based on technological and physical characteristics Accountability data 26
