We analyze the advantages of delaying production decisions to benefit from more precise information on states of the world, at the expense of higher production costs in a two-period framework where two technologies with different flexibility characteristics are available. We determine firstbest production levels ex ante and ex post, that is, when demand is still random and is known with certainty respectively. We then show that, under perfect competition, first best can be implemented indifferently either by means of ex post state-contingent markets or by means of a day-ahead market followed by adjustment markets. By contrast, when the industry is imperfectly competitive, the two market designs are not equivalent. date: 2018-07 date_type: published publisher: TSE Working Paper official_url: http://tse-fr.eu/pub/33094 faculty: tse divisions: tse language: en has_fulltext: TRUE subjectsJEL: JEL_C72 subjectsJEL: JEL_D24 subjectsJEL: JEL_L23 subjectsJEL: JEL_L94 view_date_year: 2018 full_text_status: public monograph_type: working_paper series: TSE Working Paper volume: 18-964 place_of_pub: Toulouse pages: 31 institution: Toulouse Capitole University department: Toulouse School of Economics book_title: TSE Working Paper oai_identifier: oai:tse-fr.eu:33094 harvester_local_overwrite: department harvester_local_overwrite: faculty harvester_local_overwrite: subjectsJEL harvester_local_overwrite: institution harvester_local_overwrite: place_of_pub harvester_local_overwrite: pages harvester_local_overwrite: pending harvester_local_overwrite: creators_idrefppn harvester_local_overwrite: publish_to_hal oai_lastmod: 2021-11-03T08:46:08Z oai_set: tse site: ut1 publish_to_hal: FALSE citation: Crampes, Claude and Renault, Jérôme (2018) Supply flexibility in electricity markets.
