We consider the discretized version of a (continuous-time) two-factor model introduced by Benth and coauthors for the electricity markets. For this model, the underlying is the exponent of a sum of independent random variables. We provide and test an algori thm, which is based on the celebrated...

This article focuses on the monitoring of a supply chain dedicated to the mass production of strongly diversified products. In particular we are interested in the part of this chain that contributes to the production of a set of alternative modules assembled on a work station of one or several...

We study the deterministic optimization problem of a profit-maximizing firm which plans its sales/production schedule. The Firm knows the revenue associated to a given level of sales, as well as its production and storage costs. The revenue and the production cost are assumed to be,...

The interdependency of socio-ecological systems and the increased reach of human activity have led to major political and scientific challenges in the governance of environmental resources. This chapter reviews the state of our knowledge on the matter. The chapter begins by discussing the...

Increasing block tariffs seek a cross-subsidy mechanism between the water network users, based on the common assumption of weak water price elasticity. In Manaus, the capital city of the Brazilian state of Amazonas where most of the 1.6 million dwellers are supplied through the municipal water...

We study the impact of competition and environmental policy (feed-in tariff vs. the EU ETS) on investment, CO2 emissions and welfare in an electricity sector. We consider different market structures (a planner who maximises social welfare vs. duopoly) and two types of consumers (those whose...

This Bayesian modeling book is intended for practitioners and applied statisticians looking for a self-contained entry to computational Bayesian statistics. Focusing on standard statistical models and backed up by discussed real datasets available from the book website, it provides an...
