MODELING OF ENVIRONMENTAL ADAPTATION: AMENITY VERSUS PRODUCTIVITY AND MODERNIZATION
HRITONENKO, NATALI; YATSENKO, YURI - In: Climate Change Economics (CCE) 04 (2013) 02, pp. 1350006-1
We develop an aggregated model to study rational environmental adaptation policies that compensate negative consequences of climate change. The model distinguishes three categories of adaptation measures that (a) compensate the decrease of environmental amenity value, (b) compensate the decrease...

The Exergetic, Environmental and Economic Effect of the Hydrostatic Design Static Pressure Level on the Pipe Dimensions of Low-Energy District Heating Networks
Tol, Hakan İbrahim; Svendsen, Svend - In: Challenges 4 (2013) 1, pp. 1-16
Low-Energy District Heating (DH) systems, providing great energy savings by means of very low operating temperatures of 55 °C and 25 °C for supply and return respectively, were considered to be the 4th generation of the DH systems for a low-energy future. Low-temperature operation is...

Choosing put option parameters based on quantiles from the distribution of portfolio value
Bell, Peter Newton - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2014
This paper explores how a put option changes the probability distribution of portfolio value. The paper extends the model introduced in Bell (2014) by allowing both the quantity and strike price to vary. I use the 5% quantile from the portfolio distribution to measure riskiness and compare...

Sustainable use of renewable resources, Chapter 2.1
Chichilnisky, Graciela; Beltratti, Andrea; Heal, Geoffrey - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 1998
We consider here optimal use patterns for renewable resources and address the problem of optimal use of renewable resources under a variety of assumptions both about the nature of the economy in which these resources are embedded and about the objective of that economy. Although we focus here on...
