Almost all externalities are considered to be technical externalities. Technical externalities have an impact on the consumption and production opportunities of unrelated third parties, but the price of consumption does not include the externalities. This exclusion creates a gap between the gain or loss ...
I’ve got a feeling we don’t need “to facilitate the system so tech people feel supported, and we all feel part of something that will make a difference.”Yes, we need data driven peer reviewed proof of concept. Then to make it scaleable, and to check that out too. Then to make...
On a level playing field, I believe the hydrocracking approach is superior to first generation biodiesel, but our political leaders will need to stop playing games with the tax credits in order for next generation diesel to realize its potential. (For a complete explanation of the different kinds...
Research and development are central to economic growth, and a key challenge for countries of the global South is that their research performance lags behind that of the global North. Yet, among Southern researchers, a few significantly outperform their peers and can be styled research “positive ...
This apparent knowledge gap provides the impetus for the current study. An empirical investigation of student ratings and reviews will contribute to an improved understand- ing of the study experience in MOOCs. This study limits the scope to the positive study experience and seeks to achieve two ...
In multiple hypothesis tests, as in a single hypothesis test controlling for 𝑝≤𝛼p≤α, even though 𝛼α is a small value, it can lead to an overall significant level that is too high after the multiple hypothesis tests, resulting in a large number of false positives. For example,...
To bridge this gap, this work proposes a mathematical optimisation approach for PEDs, working towards an open-source model. The model’s main novelty is an hourly primary energy balance constraint. The performed case study on the island La Palma for both an urban and a rural neighbourhood show...
