Question 8 This question is inspired on the recent evolution of electricity markets in Switzerland and the EU. Suppose a market consists of three producers: Firm 1 (photovoltaics) has a marginal cost of production od CHF 1 and can produce up to 100 MW/h; Firm 2 (hydroelectric) has a marginal cost od production of CHF 5 and can produce up to 200 MW/H; Firm 3 (gas) has a marginal cost od production of CHF 20 and can produce up to 200 MW/h. For simplicity, assume that there are no fixed costs of production. Consumers are willing to pay a constant amount of 25 CHF for each additional MW/h up to 500 MW/h. a) Draw a graph of supply and demand for this market. b) Calculate the price in the market and the profits of each company. i. ii. iii. Suppose a regulator / government has two policy instruments at hand: setting the final consumer price and / or taxing (partly) profits: c) What price should the regulator set in this situation? Briefly justify your answer. d) Should the government tax…
