Spatial Aspects of Contagion among Emerging Economies
Hondroyiannis, George; Kelejian, Harry; Tavlas, George - In: Spatial Economic Analysis 4 (2009) 2, pp. 191-211
Abstract A spatial model is used to specify and then test for the existence of contagion among emerging market … economies. We consider both trade and regional channels of contagion. Our results suggest that contagion is a statistically … results also suggest that trade links are significant channels of contagion transmission; on the other hand, geographic …

Modelling crop evapotranspiration and potential impacts on future water availability in the Indo-Gangetic Basin
Pandeya, B.; Mulligan, M. - In: Agricultural Water Management 129 (2013) C, pp. 163-172
In this research, we modelled crop actual evapo-transpiration (AET) of the Indo-Gangetic Basin (IGB) to better understand the use of water by cropland at the administrative region scale. By using the WaterWorld Policy Support System (WWPSS), we estimated baseline crop AET for the year 2000. We...

Artificial neural network based daily local forecasting for global solar radiation
Amrouche, Badia; Le Pivert, Xavier - In: Applied Energy 130 (2014) C, pp. 333-341
When a part of the power is generated by grid connected photovoltaic installations, an effective global solar irradiation (GSI) forecasting tool becomes a must to ensure the quality and the security of the electrical grid. GSI forecasts allow the quantification of generated photovoltaic (PV)...
