Competitive Energy Storage and the Duck Curve
Power systems with high penetrations of solar generation need to replace solar output when it falls rapidly in the late afternoon – the duck curve problem. In this paper, Richard Schmalensee considers investment in generation and storage to minimize expected cost in a model of an electric power system with alternating daytime periods, with solar generation, and nighttime periods, without it.

The Short-run and Long-run Effects of Covid-19 on Energy and the Environment
In this commentary, the researchers explore how the short-run effects of Covid-19 in reducing CO2 and local air pollutant emissions can easily be outweighed by the long-run effects of a slowing of the clean energy innovation. A quick stabilization of the economy and expediting investment in clean energy can make all the difference.
