| Abstract | In the United States, individual states set their own carbon pricing policies based on their individual objectives. The variation in carbon prices set on the commonly shared electric power network, which is federally regulated through the Regional Transmission Operators (RTOs), can distort the operations and planning of the power grid, leading to environmental leakages, loss of carbon tax revenues, and other undesirable outcomes. The goal of this research project is to provide practical evaluati |
