My PhD investigated risk allocation problems in electricity markets, their consequences for societal climate goals, and their implications for public policy. I set out to address the following questions:

To shed light on these questions, I developed stochastic optimization and equilibrium methods, including an equilibrium approach to modeling generation expansion in liberalized power systems, a game theoretic model of the interactions between an electricity market and a government seeking to reduce emissions, and a real options model of EV charging investments.
