We propose an approach to extend the standard framework of dynamic games to settings with multi-product firms. Our approach applies to industries with a large number of products offered by a small number of firms.

This paper reviews the evidence on the importance of human capital for macro-economic development. Through the lens of a simple aggregate production function, human capital might increase output per capita by directly entering in the production process, incentivising the accumulation of...

This paper deals with an experimental investigation to improve the hydrogen production by water photoelectrolysis. An experimental facility was built: it is mainly constituted by a solar simulator, the photoelectrolytic cell, the electric power supply system and a recirculating and gas sampling...

Solar reflectance of buildings’ envelope and urban paving represents an important optic-energetic property for the characterization of building energy performance for cooling and to reduce the urban heat island effect. Together with the emissivity, it represents the main feature contributing...

In this paper the problem of the optimal management of an electrical power system is discussed. The production of hydroelectric energy is associated to that produced by steam plants in order to provide for a given load diagram. An economic dispatching is carried out, also taking into account the...

This paper presents some of main types of interferences that overhead EHV and UHV lines produce on the environment. Particularly, it considers the radio interference, the audible noise, the electromagnetic fields at ground and the interferences with nearby plants, showing the connection between...

Gas hydrates have a large capacity for the storage of gases and are an attractive method for gas filtration and transportation. However, hydrate formation is usually controlled by the rate of crystallization and thus it can be a slow process. A technology that will rapidly and continuously form...
