Economic cost evaluation on the viability of offshore wind turbine farms in Nigeria
Effiom, S. O.; Nwankwojike, B. N.; Abam, F. I. - In: Energy Reports 2 (2016), pp. 48-53
The paper presents an economic cost evaluation on the feasibility of offshore wind turbine (OWT) farms development in Nigeria, using a 500 MW OWT farm as an incident study. A developed model was used to evaluate the economic cost of the OWTs at different phases of the project. Additionally, the...

On the choice of the discount rate and the role of financial variables and physical parameters in estimating the levelized cost of energy
Manzhos, Sergei - In: International Journal of Financial Studies 1 (2013) 3, pp. 54-61
The levelized cost of energy (LCOE) approach has become popular, especially in the field of renewable energy. We argue that when assessing levelized cost of energy, different rates should be used for borrowing and discount rates. We further argue that the risk-free rate should be used for...

Levelized cost of energy: A new estimation considering GHG emissions
Villone, Mario - In: Atlantic Review of Economics (ARoEc) 2 (2018) 1
The aim of this paper is to enunciate a new way to estimate levelized cost of electric energy (LCOE), considering emission of greenhouse gases cost, by taking the theoretical cost of avoiding pollution as the emission cost. In this way, it would be comparable LCOE from different sources of...

Cost dynamics of clean energy technologies
Glenk, Gunther; Meier, Rebecca; Reichelstein, Stefan - 2021
The pace of the global decarbonization process is widely believed to hinge on the rate of cost improvements for clean energy technologies, in particular renewable power and energy storage. This paper adopts the classical learning-by-doing framework of Wright (1936), which predicts that cost will...

Beyond cash: Assessing externality and behaviour effects of non-experimental cash transfers
Ribas, Rafael Perez; Soares, Fábio Veras; Teixeira, … - 2010
In this paper we propose a method to estimate externality effects in cash transfer programmes, even in cases when the … benefit is not randomly assigned. Externality is assessed through the decomposition of the average treatment effect on the … treated (ATT) into participation (direct) effect and externality (indirect) effect. We also suggest a nonparametric …

Externality and behavioural change effects of a non-randomised CCT programme: Heterogeneous impact on the demand for health and education

This decomposition was possible thanks to the … use of two distinct comparison groups, one within the village and possibly exposed to the externality, and another in a …-beneficiary families (no externality effect). In the pilot phase, with no conditionality enforcement in place, the role of conditionality …

Dynamics between antibiotic drug use and resistance: An economic approach
Frank, Uwe; Kaier, Klaus - 2009
In Europe, the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance (AMR) has become a serious public health threat. Rational antibiotic policy, combined with enforcement of infection control practices are key strategies to combat AMR in the hospital setting. Using timeseries analysis, we calculated...
