How Differential Privacy Will Affect Estimates of Air Pollution Exposure and Disparities in the United States

“…Researchers studying energy systems and decarbonization rely heavily on census data to understand environmental justice outcomes (Brockway, Conde, and Callaway 2021;Burger 2019;Tessum et al 2021;Thind et al 2019). Population counts of different racial and ethnic groups at various spatial resolutions -state, county, census tract, block groups, and blocks -are used to find out which populations are adversely affected and where do they reside.…”

The Electric Gini: Income Redistribution through Energy Prices

“…Borenstein (2012) poses similar questions for electricity use in California and finds only "modest" redistribution from current increasing-block tariffs. Burger et al (2019) invert the question, and ask how much more or less each income group would pay if Chicago-area electricity ratepayers were charged efficient tariffs. And Feger and Radulescu (2018) show that in one large Swiss city, electricity prices are marked up above marginal costs, in a way that implies conservation goals dominate distributional concerns.…”

Second‐best pricing for incomplete market segments: Application to electricity pricing

“…Second, as long as no customer stops consumption, the budget balance constraint can be met using a uniform fixed fee as in Joskow and Tirole (2006). Of course, this approach may raise equity concerns (Burger et al, 2020; Feldstein, 1972). To the extreme, one may thus want to rely purely on linear prices, as in the seminal work by Ramsey and Boiteux.…”
