- Returns to scale in electricity generation: Replicated and revisited, Bernstein & Parmeter (2019). Energy Economics. Outcome recorded: successful.
While the quantitative findings across all of the estimators deployed differ somewhat regarding the magnitude of returns to scale, we document a decrease in returns to scale within the electricity generation market from 1955 to 1996.
