      Questions on Energy Market Manipulation          本次能源經濟學研討會邀請到賓夕法尼亞州立大學能源和環境經濟和MICASU系教授Andrew N. Kleit做學術演講。          
         時間：12月12日，星期三，13:30-14:30          地點：中國人民大學明德主樓623會議室                     報告摘要：             One crucial element of restructured electricity market regulation is the need to act against firms that engage in market manipulation. Unfortunately, manipulation law is poorly developed, in part because the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has its confused its different roles as a prosecutor and a court.  Thus, at present, there seems to have been little progress on questions of what constitutes manipulation, what evidence is needed to show manipulation, and how manipulation laws can be best applied.  Currently there appear to be two different types of manipulation cases.  In the first, the theory of manipulation is clear, but the evidence to support that theory is weak.  In the second, while the evidence is clear, it is uncertain whether the behavior in question constitutes “manipulation.”  I suggest that the proper method for advancing manipulation law would be to remove from FERC its judicial role, and send these cases directly to the federal judiciary for determinations of liability.
