摘要：Many services consist of multiple stages, where each stage requires some waiting before completion. For example, customers who visit the Apple Store join the check-in queue first and then wait in another queue to be served by the Genius Bar technician.

摘要：In this study, we investigate households' investments in behind-the-meter battery storage alongside rooftop solar and examine the effects of these batteries on consumers, the power market, and environmental emissions. We develop a structural estimation model of residential electricity usage that separates observed demand and consumption preferences and lets us estimate a nonfinancial utility that households may have for using self-generated solar power over grid-procured electricity. We call t...
