Do production subsidies have a wage incidence in wind power?

Employment in electricity generation from renewable resources has expanded rapidly in the US and in Texas during the last decade. Availability of the Production Tax Credit (PTC) has been an important driver of this growth. Using establishment-level employment and payroll data for Texas at the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS)-6 level, we analyse the differences in average wages between firms generating electricity from fossil fuels and those generating electricity from wind power. We compare relative average wages before and after the rapid expansion of wind power development that followed the ex ante renewal of the PTC in 2006. Our main finding using both the parametric and nonparametric estimation techniques proposed by Racine and Li (2004), is that average payrolls for wind power generators increased relative to fossil fuel-based electricity generators after 2006.

Investment risk analysis of China＇s wind power industry based on pre-assessment matrix

Wind energy is a clean and sustainable energy, and wind power does not rely on fossil fuels. So there is no fuel price risk, and it, of course, does not include the environmental costs, such as carbon emissions. Because of these unique advantages, wind power has gradually become an important part of the strategy of sustainable development in China. Now with the growing voices on global greenhouse gas emission reduction, and as a clean and efficient energy, wind power has huge potential in combating climate change, energy security pressures and the needs for energy. Wind power in China began to develop from the 1980s. In the first 20 years, the speed of development was slow; but since 2004, it has had an extremely rapid growth.This paper, in order to study the development mechanism of China＆amp;amp;amp;#39;s wind power industry, investigated and analyzed the status quo of wind power industry in China, and then found that （1） the development trend of wind power industry in China appears exponential growth; （2） China＆amp;amp;amp;#39;s installed capacity of wind power is still smaller than that os some other countries; （3） new subsidy policies bring developing opportunities to wind power industry in China; （4） the sectors of wind power industry are in unbalanced growing; （5） the owners of proposed wind farms are too optimistic though the built wind farm had many problems. In addition, by using the methodology of Game Theory, this paper has also constructed the matrix of pre-assessing risks of China＆amp;amp;amp;#39;s wind power industry to further discuss the potential risk factors within China＆amp;amp;amp;#39;s wind power industry as risk factors of wind farm construction, risk factors of production of wind turbines, risk factors of parts and components manufacturing industry under risk indicators like R＆amp;amp;amp;amp;D, patents, the domestic policy, the international policy, the quality of products and the market regulation, in order to provide a scientific assessment and self-assessment tool for investors or implementers, and also to promote the further development of the wind power industry.     

Q.S.的重要性

Ｑ．Ｓ．是英文ＱｕａｎｔｉｔｙＳｕｒｖｅｙｉｎｇ的缩写,从事这方面工作的人员被称为ＱｕａｎｔｉｔｙＳｕｒｖｅｙｏｒ,译作工程量数师或工料测量师。国际承包商的Ｑ．Ｓ．在工程材料、工程数量、工程变更、额外工程报价、现金流量分析及工程成本控制等方面为项目管理提供了可靠的数字依据,其工作类似于国内的验工计价工程师或造价工程师,但在方法和操作上又有明显区别。海外工程承包项目中,大都采用英国式的Ｑ．Ｓ．计价制度。由于国内验工计价的方法与之不同,使得许多初次到海外工作的项目经理、工程师、现场管工等对此缺乏足够认识,…

P.R.C.模式助力中国新30年经济

为了能与传统消费国未来低增长趋势脱钩,我们需要寻找这样的国家:既能为中国经济未来的增长提供所需的资源品,也能帮助中国消化过剩的产能,由此在生产国(中国)与资源国之间形成供求的循环(Producer&Resource Supplier Cycle),我们称之为P.R.C.模式。
