요약This dissertation consists of three essays studying issues related to renewable energy, including ethanol, biodiesel, and solar energy. The COVID-19 pandemic induced numerous supply chain shocks in U.S. agricultural markets, creating a desire to disentangle commodity price impacts caused by unique changes in food and non-food agricultural product demand. Using a data-modified version of the relative price of a substitute method, essay one distinguishes the consequences of the sharp decline in U.S. automotive fuel demand from the consequences of non-ethanol demand changes in the U.S. corn market. Results suggest that-due to the renewable fuel standard and ethanol-gas price linkages-COVID-19 affected corn markets more so than other agricultural commodities. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic reduced Illinois cash prices for corn by approximately 18%. The majority of this impact (approximately 16%) was driven by pandemic-induced reductions in ethanol demand. Ethanol-driven and total impacts were greater in locations farther from terminal markets. Essay two develops an integrated, theoretically consistent framework based on the relative price of a substitute method from Carter and Smith (2007) to evaluate the cumulative and incremental effects of a series of interceding events on market prices. We apply this framework to measure the price impacts of the EU ban on palm oil use in biodiesel production. The EU has proposed various policies to eliminate its use of palm oil, including the Palm Oil Resolution that proposed phasing out palm oil in biofuel use by 2020, the Renewable Energy Directive II (REDII) that restricts the use of high-risk indirect land-use change biofuels, and the Directive designating palm oil as a high-risk indirect land-use change feedstock. Using our modified RPS method, we find that-among these policies-the adoption of the REDII is associated with the largest impact. In total, EU limits on palm oil use in biodiesel production have resulted in a 28.56% reduction in international palm oil prices and revenue losses of about $1.7 billion for the Malaysian palm oil industry. Contrary to the concerns of some, we do not find evidence that the ban was beneficial to EU canola oil producers.Essay three examines the rebound effect in residential nighttime electricity consumption following rooftop solar adoption. Using a two-stage difference-in-differences design that accounts for staggered adoption timing, we analyze a panel of more than 23,000 households in Northern and Central California from 2015 to 2019. We find that solar adoption increases nighttime consumption by roughly 8 percent, providing robust evidence of a rebound effect. The magnitude of this effect varies substantially across policy regimes. Under NEM 1.0 with a standard tiered rate, it is modest and reflects a pure rebound effect. Under NEM 1.0 with time-of-use rates, the effect is substantially larger, as strategic load-shifting compounds the rebound from income and substitution effects. Under NEM 2.0, the effect is intermediate, reflecting how non-bypassable charges and interconnection fees temper the load-shifting incentives of mandatory TOU rates. Heterogeneity analyses reveal that the rebound effect is greater for households with high pre-treatment consumption and for those with larger effective solar system sizes. Together, the results highlight how tariff design and household characteristics shape behavioral responses to solar adoption, with important implications for policy evaluation, environmental accounting, and grid management.
