Abstract

Crampes and Moreaux [1] provide a two period model of competition between a hydrostation and a thermal station for the generation of electricity. We modify this model to make it more directly comparable with an infinite horizon model. The closed loop equilibrium is characterized.

Highlights

  • Crampes and Moreaux [1] (CM) provide a two period model of competition between a thermal station and a hydrostation for the production of electricity

  • Crampes and Moreaux [1] (CM)’s analysis is both broad and illuminating. Their model contains implicit assumptions which make it difficult to compare with an infinite horizon model

  • An appropriately written finite horizon model is essential to the understanding of infinite horizon models

Summary

Introduction

Crampes and Moreaux [1] (CM) provide a two period model of competition between a thermal station and a hydrostation for the production of electricity. We assume that S is sufficiently large that if S1 S , the second period resource constraint can not bind in equilibrium. If neither hydro-constraint binds in period 2, S2 has no impact on output and It is strictly positive if q2 > 0 and a second period hydro-constraint binds.
