With the objective of evaluating the accuracy of price index models, we adopt a series of techniques to compares the performances of the hedonic, repeat sales, and hybrid models based on the data from the Chinese most representative painter, Qi Baishi during the period from 2000 to 2016. When...

Corn yield is determined by soils, weather, seed used and other technology choices. Global population and per capita income growth trends as well as demand from the energy sector have placed great stress on cropland use. Global cropland acres and/or yield per acre will need to increase. Whether...

Subsynchronous oscillation (SSO) of generators caused by high voltage direct current (HVDC) systems can be solved by applying supplemental subsynchronous damping controller (SSDC). SSDC application in mitigating SSO of single-generator systems has been studied intensively. This paper focuses on...

The core-periphery (CP) model of urban systems lacks evidence from real data for the nonlinear relationship between distance to core and market potential. China remains in the process of industrialization and globalization, thereby making it suitable for practical application of the CP model of...

Using micro-level data, this paper examines the effects of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) on firms’ pollution emissions in China. Our results show that the establishment of SEZs in China lowers SEZ firms’ air pollution by at least 13%. Incumbents play the major role in generating this effect....

Electricity will play a greater role in the transport and building sectors and all decarbonisation scenarios point to the increasing electrification of the energy system. To reach EU climate change targets, however, electricity will need to come increasingly from low carbon sources, especially...

This paper investigates whether investors’ anchoring bias matters for the cross section of cryptocurrency returns. Following the convention, we use the nearness of the current cryptocurrency price to N–day high as the proxy of anchoring. Both portfolio–level analysis and coin–level...
