Market incompleteness in regional electricity transmission

The paper analyses various proposals for the organization of regional electricity transmission in terms of the market incompleteness that they may implicitly assume. Elementary notions of variational inequalities constitute the analytical tool used throughout the paper. The discussion is conducted with reference to the flow gate debate in California and European proposals for the organization of cross border electricity trade.
