On Supply-Function Equilibria in Radial Transmission Networks Pär Holmberg and Andrew Philpott

Transmission constraints limit competition and arbitrageurs’ possibilities of exploiting price differences between commodities in neighbouring markets. We analyze radial transmission-constrained networks with local demand shocks, where spatially distributed oligopoly producers compete with supply functions, as in wholesale electricity markets. We prove existence and uniqueness of supply-function equilibrium in two-node networks, and we are able to explicitly solve for symmetric supply-function equilibria in two-node and star networks.

Interdisciplinary European Studies

The European Union in a Changing World Order

This book explores how the European Union responds to the ongoing challenges to the liberal international order. These challenges arise both within the EU itself and beyond its borders, and put into question the values of free trade and liberal democracy.

About the book

Events

Seminars organized by IFN

To present ongoing research informal brown-bag seminars are held on Mondays at 11:30 am. This is an opportunity for IFN researchers to test ideas and results.

Academically oriented seminars are most of the time held on Wednesdays at 10 am. At these events researchers from IFN and other institutions present their research.

In addition, IFN organizes seminars open to the public. Topics for these are derived from the IFN research.
