Abstract: I embed a electricity certificate system, mandating that a certain fraction of total electricity production must come from renewable sources, in a stylized competitive economy and derive a general equilibrium cost-benefit rule from perturbing the regulation. The welfare consequences (ignoring distributional effects) of the perturbation are compactly summarized in a simple formula.
Keywords: general equilibrium; cost-benefit
