The fragmentation of production across countries has become an important feature of the globalization in recent decades and is often conceptualized by the term, global value chains (GVCs). When empirically investigating the GVCs, previous studies are mainly interested in knowing how global the...

This study examines the short‐term volatility of natural gas prices through an examination of the intraday prices of the nearby natural gas futures contract traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The influence on volatility of what many regard as a key element of the information set...

Exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets (xGnP) were applied to enhance the thermal conductivity of polyaniline (PANI) based form-stable phase change materials (PCMs). The xGnP was first dispersed in palmitic acid (PA) uniformly under the assistance of ultra-sonication. The xGnP/PA mixture was then...

Theory of complex networks proved successful in the description of a variety of static networks ranging from biology to computer and social sciences to economics and finance. Here we use network models to describe the evolution of a particular economic system, namely the International Trade...

This article uses data from NASCAR to examine strategic decision making with professional players and high stakes. The authors look at driver decisions to pit, enabling car performance to be improved at the cost of track position. Unlike other sports choices that have been used to test...

Economic systems, traditionally analyzed as almost independent national systems, are increasingly connected on a global scale. Only recently becoming available, the World Input-Output Database (WIOD) is one of the first efforts to construct the multi-regional input-output (MRIO) tables at the...

This paper investigates the relationship between stock prices and the real exchange rate suggested by some structural macroeconomic models such as Gavin[1989]. Adding stock prices to a conventional macroeconomic model allows us to examine the stock price-exchange rate relationship, and...

In response to increasing environmental concerns, to improve energy security and to conserve energy use, the US government has proposed a new round of Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards. Many studies have focused on how the CAFE standard can be met by various automakers that have...
