Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper examines market power in the wholesale electricity spot market in the Canadian province of Alberta. The characteristics of electricity markets and the structure of the post-regulation industry suggest that there is the potential for the exercise of market power by electricity generators. Using data for the period from 1998 to 2002, I estimate a parameter indicating the degree of competitiveness in the market, and find it is consistent more with competition than with the exercise of market power. I conclude that the market design and industry restructuring have been successful in constraining the strategic behaviour of firms.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
