The Cost-Of-Service Indexing Clause Concept, W. David Eberle

Economics ETDs

The purpose of this thesis is to describe and evaluate the objectives of the CSI as one possible long-range solution to the crisis faced by the electric utility industry today. Consisting of five chapters, the first presents a brief history of events that led to PNM proposing the CSI. This historical overview lends understanding to the gravity of the utilities’ financial crisis and to the need for reform action to prevent another similar crisis.

The Cost-Of-Service Indexing Clause Concept, W. David Eberle

Economics ETDs

The Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) persuaded the Public Service Commission of New Mexico (PSC), in March 1975, to adopt a cost-of-service index (CSI) approach to setting electric service rates as an alternative to setting the service rates through formal rate hearings. This thesis primarily reviews the CSI's impact on the Company and the Commission.

PNM asked for an alternative method of setting service rates because of the electric utility industry's financial crisis in the early 1970s. The rapidly changing, economic environment of this period created severe upward pressure on prices and costs. The inability of regulatory commissions …

Environmental Carcinogenesis: An Economic Analysis Of Risk, Reza Pazand

Economics ETDs

It is universally suggested that cancer is suspected of being environmentally induced. The economic risk asso­ciated with exposure to suspected environmental carcinogens is not yet analyzed. Although several researchers have es­timated the health damages of certain pollutants, an appropriate methodology to estimate the economic damages of suspected carcinogens is not yet developed.

The theoretical model developed in this dissertation analyzes the economic risk of exposure to suspected environ­mental carcinogens. The important conclusion drawn from the theoretical model is that exposure to environmental carcino­gens at earlier stages of life should be optimally avoided. The theoretical model provides a basis for the …

Two Pricing Suggestions For Highway Expenditure Analysis: A Critical Review, Scott Edward Hein

Economics ETDs

The objective of this study is to examine the efficacy of two closely related pricing policy suggestions.

In the final analysis these suggestions are reviewed within a Pareto optimum framework. The question, then, is: Will an alteration in these prescriptions be such as to make at least some members of the community better off without making any others worse off?
