Modeling population dynamics and economic growth as competing species: An application to CO2 global emission

Puliafito, Salvador Enrique; Puliafito, José Luis; … - 2006

Since the beginning of the last century the world is experiencing an important demographic transition, which will probably impact on economic growth. Many demographers and social scientists are trying to understand the key drivers of such transition as well as its profound implications. A...

Are there spillovers from China on the global energy-growth nexus? Evidence from four world regions

Marques, Luís Miguel; Fuinhas, José Alberto; Marques, … - In: Economies 7 (2019) 2, pp. 1-19

This paper analyses China's energy consumption and economic growth spillover effects on four world regions: (i) America (North and South); (ii) Europe and Central Asia; (iii) Asia Pacific; and (iv) Africa and the Middle East. An annual aggregated time series by world region, from 1970 to 2016, and...

Optimising environmental product life cycles: A case study of the European pulp and paper sector

Weaver, Paul M.; Gabel, H. Landis; Bloemhof-Ruwaard, … - 1997

In this paper, we propose a methodology, based on materials accounting and operational research techniques, to assess different industry configurations according to their life cycle environmental impacts. Rather than evaluating a specific technology, our methodology searches for the feasible...

An economic approach to monitoring pollution accidents

Gottinger, Hans Werner - 1998

We model the occurrence of an environmental accident as a stochastic event, in particular the situation of an oil spill is explored. Characteristics of the ship operator, and the different types of the ship's operating environment determine a stochastic process governing the time patterns and...

Optimisation of flight movements in Europe: Possibilities for reducing the number of flight movements in Europe, taking the quality of the connections into account

Nollau, Alexander; Thießen, Friedrich - 2019

Many current problems in air traffic are related to the number of aircraft movements. Overcrowding in the airspace, difficult coordination at airports, high emissions of noise and pollutants as well as complexity of airlines are side effects of too many aircraft movements. This study examines...

A structural model of coronavirus behaviour for testing on data behaviour

Meenagh, David; Minford, Patrick - 2021

We fit the logistic function, the reduced form of epidemic behaviour, to the data for deaths from Covid-19, for a wide variety of countries, with a view to estimating a causal model of the covid virus' progression. We then set out a structural model of the Covid virus behaviour based on...

A neutrosophic fuzzy optimisation model for optimal sustainable closed-loop supply chain network during COVID-19

Szmelter-Jarosz, Agnieszka; Ghahremani-Nahr, Javid; … - In: Journal of Risk and Financial Management 14 (2021) 11, pp. 1-22

In this paper, a sustainable closed-loop supply chain problem is modelled in conditions of uncertainty. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, the designed supply chain network seeks to deliver medical equipment to hospitals on time within a defined time window to prevent overcrowding and virus...
