Social media platforms often simultaneously distribute content through different newsfeed channels, most commonly, social networks, algorithmic recommendations and trending content. Prior literature has investigated each channel’s impact on user-content engagement. However, little is known...

This paper employs a semi-parametric varying coefficient system approach to investigating the impact of environmental policy stringency on a nation's productivity growth using data for a panel of OECD countries over a period of two decades. A new cross-country proxy of environmental policy...

The diamond Schottky theory needs to be further improved before exertising its full advantages, especially in terms of the physical properties of the diamond surface and the interface between metals and diamond. In our previous work, we experimentally verified that the oxygen terminal with a...

Although peroxymonosulfate (PMS) coupling with ultrasonic piezo-catalysis (PE) or electrolysis (E) exhibited synergy of organics degradation by generating more reactive oxidative species (ROS), the relatively high energy consumption restricted their application. Hydro-energy, as a clean energy...

Voltage sag state estimation based on a limited number of accessible monitors is essential to assessing the cost balance between investments in mitigation device and disruption cost saved. In this paper, a deep learning method based on Bidirectional WaveNet for voltage sag state estimation via...

Computable general equilibrium (CGE) models of international trade typically rely on econometrically estimated trade elasticities as model inputs. These elasticities vary by as much as an order of magnitude and there is no consensus on which elasticities to use. We review the literature...

Presenting a blend of economics and law, this book provides unique insights as well as practical guidance for negotiators considering major issues on the agendas of bilateral and regional preferential trading agreements (PTAs).

We propose two distinct approaches to the measurement of industry upstreamness (or average distance from final use) and show that they yield an equivalent measure. Furthermore, we provide two additional interpretations of this measure, one of them related to the concept of forward linkages in...
