The Assembly of Rents

Wong, Kwok C. - In: Man and the Economy 3 (2016) 1, pp. 97-104

Abstract There are fixed costs in production. One has to assemble rents earned in production lines to cover them. There are also fixed costs in consumption. Consumers assemble surpluses to cover them. In either case, rent assemblage could either be a quantity solution, a quality solution, or a...

The Liftoff of Consumer Benefits from the Broadband Revolution

Dutz, Mark A.; Orszag, Jonathan M.; Willig, Robert D. - In: Review of Network Economics 11 (2012) 4

Abstract This paper uses both a discrete choice demand model and a direct survey method to derive robust measures of the contribution of home broadband to consumer welfare during the early years of broadband adoption by U.S. households. We estimate a demand system that distinguishes between...

Optimal Control of a Dispatchable Energy Source for Wind Energy Management

D’Amico, Guglielmo; Petroni, Filippo; Sobolewski, … - In: Stochastics and Quality Control 34 (2019) 1, pp. 19-34

Abstract The major drawback of wind energy relies in its variability in time, which necessitates specific strategies to be settled. One such strategy can be the coordination of wind power production with a co-located power generation of dispatchable energy source (DES), e.g., thermal power...

Hedging the Risk of Wind Power Production Using Dispatchable Energy Source

D'Amico, Guglielmo; Di Basilio, Bice; Petroni, Filippo - In: Stochastics and Quality Control 36 (2021) 1, pp. 1-20

Abstract In this paper we advance a nonlinear optimization problem for hedging wind power variability by using a dispatchable energy source (DES) like gas. The model considers several important aspects such as modeling of wind power production, electricity price, nonlinear penalization scheme...

Accounting/art and the emancipatory project: some reflections

Gallhofer, Sonja; Haslam, Jim - In: Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal 9 (1996) 5, pp. 23-44

If we are concerned to develop an emancipatory accounting, and if we are sensitive towards the tendencies to ethnocentrism, chronocentrism and dogmatism, we can potentially gain insights from the social and critical theoretical analysis of any phenomena, whatever be their location in time and...
