Simulation-Based Solution of Stochastic Mathematical Programs with Complementarity Constraints : Sample-Path Analysis
Ilker Birbil, S.; Gürkan, G.; Listes, O.L. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2004
We consider a class of stochastic mathematical programs with complementarity constraints, in which both the objective and the constraints involve limit functions or expectations that need to be estimated or approximated.Such programs can be used for modeling average or steady-state behavior of...

Applying the gravity approach to sector trade: who bears the trade costs?
Cheptea, A.; Gohin, A.; Huchet-Bourdon, Maryline - HAL - 2008
Thanks to its empirical success, the gravity approach is widely used to explain trade patterns between countries. In this article we question the simple application of this approach to product/sector-level trade on two grounds. First, we demonstrate that the traditional Armington version of...

Carbon Price Drivers: An Updated Literature Review
Chevallier, Julien - HAL - 2011
Since the creation of the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) in 2005, a burgeoning academic literature has emerged to identify the factors that shape the price of carbon, where one European Union Allowance is equal to one ton of CO2-equivalent emitted in the atmosphere. Thus, there...

Chaudey, Magali - HAL - 2010
The recognition that contracts have a time dimension has given rise to a very abundant literature since the end of the 1980s. In such a dynamic context, the contract may take place over several periods and develop repeated interactions. Then, the principal topics of the analysis are commitment,...
