  • Electric Utility deregulation: Stranded costs vs. stranded benefits
    Journal of Accounting and Public Policy, 2007
    Co-Authors: Karen Nunez
    Abstract:

    Abstract This study re-examines the Electric Utility market value-book value relation in light of the changing regulatory climate. The change in the market value-book value relation is examined by comparing the market-to-book ratio in the post-regulatory period to the regulatory period. Additionally, this paper compares the stock market’s valuation of Electric Utility stranded costs (above market costs) to stranded benefits (below market costs). This paper demonstrates that Electric Utility market value and book value are no longer aligned. Additionally, this paper extends the research on deregulatory effects by documenting a differential market response to estimated stranded costs versus stranded benefits.

  • Electric Utility Deregulation and the Market Value-Book Value Relation
    2003
    Co-Authors: Karen Nunez
    Abstract:

    This study re-examines the Electric Utility market value-book value relation in light of the changing regulatory climate. The change in the market value-book value relation is examined by comparing the market-to-book ratio in the deregulatory period to the regulatory period. This study tests whether stranded costs are correlated with the change in the market value-book value relation. Also, this study tests whether state regulatory commission ratings alter the relation between stranded costs and the market value-book value relation. This study documents an increase in the market value-book value relation. However, additional tests indicate that the change in the market value-book value relation may reflect general market-wide patterns which obscure the deregulation effects. Furthermore, there is evidence that stranded costs are incorporated in the market value-book value relation. Also, there is no evidence that the state regulatory commission ratings alter the relation between stranded costs and the market value-book value relation.

  • Neck injuries among Electric Utility workers, 1995-2007.
    Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2010
    Co-Authors: Tiffani A. Fordyce, Libby Morimoto, Jenna E. Coalson, Michael A. Kelsh, Gabor Mezei
    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVE:: To describe the incidence and impact of neck injuries among Electric Utility workers. METHODS:: Rates of neck injuries per 10,000 employee-years were calculated for various demographic and occupational factors using data from an injury surveillance database established among 17 Electric Utility companies over the period 1995-2007. RESULTS:: The overall rate of neck injuries was 13.3. Male workers had a slightly higher rate than females, and younger workers ( Language: en

  • thermal burn and Electrical injuries among Electric Utility workers 1995 2004
    Burns, 2007
    Co-Authors: Tiffani A. Fordyce, Michael A. Kelsh, Jack D Sahl, Janice W Yager
    Abstract:

    This study describes the occurrence of work-related injuries from thermal-, Electrical- and chemical-burns among Electric Utility workers. We describe injury trends by occupation, body part injured, age, sex, and circumstances surrounding the injury. This analysis includes all thermal, Electric, and chemical injuries included in the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Occupational Health and Safety Database (OHSD). There were a total of 872 thermal burn and Electric shock injuries representing 3.7% of all injuries, but accounting for nearly 13% of all medical claim costs, second only to the medical costs associated with sprain- and strain-related injuries (38% of all injuries). The majority of burns involved less than 1 day off of work. The head, hands, and other upper extremities were the body parts most frequently injured by burns or Electric shocks. For this industry, Electric-related burns accounted for the largest percentage of burn injuries, 399 injuries (45.8%), followed by thermal/heat burns, 345 injuries (39.6%), and chemical burns, 51 injuries (5.8%). These injuries also represented a disproportionate number of fatalities; of the 24 deaths recorded in the database, contact with Electric current or with temperature extremes was the source of seven of the fatalities. High-risk occupations included welders, line workers, Electricians, meter readers, mechanics, maintenance workers, and plant and equipment operators.

  • Stranded Costs and Competitive Forces in the Electric Utility Industry
    Journal of Accounting Auditing & Finance, 1997
    Co-Authors: Walter G. Blacconiere, Marilyn F. Johnson, Mark S. Johnson
    Abstract:

    It is likely that deregulation of the Electric Utility industry will force high-cost Electric utilities to write off the “stranded” cost of plant and equipment that would be rendered obsolete in a competitive marketplace. In this paper, we examine the financial statement analysis implications of ongoing deregulation. Based on 1993 data for a sample of 111 large investor-owned Electric utilities, our analyses suggest that it is possible to use financial statement data to form estimates of these potentially stranded costs. In addition, we find that recent trends toward deregulation are associated with an increase in the significance of the firm's cost structure in explaining the relation between market values and book values of equity.
