11 Dec 2023: www.eprg.group.cam.ac.uk. China’s Energy Law Draft. and the Reform of its Electricity Supply Sector. EPRG Working Paper 2028. Cambridge Working Paper in Economics 2091. Jun Xu. Michael G. Pollitt. Bai-Chen Xie. Chung-Han Yang. Abstract China is reforming its electricity supply industry under the guidance of the No.9 document published in 2015. However, such reform has not been supported by new legislation until now. China unveiled an Energy Law draft in April 2020 for public consultation. It is widely regarded as an attempt to provide a legal foundation for ongoing energy sector reforms. This paper introduces the legislative background to China’s Energy Law and then identifies the weaknesses of the April 2020 Energy Law draft from the perspective of international experience. We find that although the Energy Law draft represents positive progress on the vertical unbundling and the price mechanism with respect to the competitive and natural monopoly segments of the power sector, it still does not provide adequate support for most other elements. The enacted Energy Law needs to make more explicit provision on horizontal restructuring, incentive regulation, privatization and independent regulation, while the 1995 Electricity Law

3 Jun 2024: Small Data, Big Time—A retrospect of the first weeks of COVID-19. Qingyuan Zhao. [To be read before The Royal Statistical Society at the Society’s 2021 annual conference held inManchester on Wednesday, September 8th, 2021, the President, Professor Sylvia Richardson, in theChair]. Abstract. This article reviews some early investigations and research studies in the first weeks of the coron-avirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic from a statistician’s perspective. These investigations werebased on very small datasets but were momentous in the initial global reactions to the pandemic. Thearticle discusses the initial evidence of high infectiousness of COVID-19 and why that conclusion wasnot reached faster than in reality. Further reanalyses of some published COVID-19 studies show thatthe epidemic growth was dramatically underestimated by compartmental models, and the lack of fitcould have been clearly identified by simple data visualization. Finally, some lessons for statisticiansare discussed.Keywords: Infectious disease modeling; Selection bias; COVID-19; Model diagnostics. 1 Introduction. Starting from a regional disease outbreak in Wuhan, China, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)rapidly grew into a once-in-a-lifetime

11 Dec 2023: www.eprg.group.cam.ac.uk. What effect has the 2015 power market reform had on power prices in China? Evidence from Guangdong and Zhejiang EPRG Working Paper 2010. Cambridge Working Paper in Economics 2043. Bai-Chen Xie Jun Xu Michael G. Pollitt Abstract This paper presents an analysis of the impact of the recent power market reform process in China – following the No.9 Document issued in March 2015 - on the industrial price of electricity. We do this by picking a typical power price for a medium sized industrial customer in two of China’s leading reform provinces: Guangdong and Zhejiang. We find that power market reform, which is characterised by the introduction of wholesale electricity markets, has substantially reduced prices. Our detailed analysis shows that these price falls have come from a number of different sources: falls in the prices paid to generators, reductions in grid charges and falls in government taxes and additional charges. We show that by December 2019 the regulated price falls by 26.6% in Guangdong and by 27.0% in Zhejiang while the market price falls even further by 30.2% in Guangdong and 30.4% in Zhejiang compared with their regulated prices in January of 2012. Accordingly, the weighted retail price
