The intermittency of new energy power generation (NEPG) exposes the power supply chain (PSC) to a higher supply disruption risk (SDR), so it is crucial to determine how to manage such risk and minimize losses. In the context of cap-and-trade (CAT) in the power industry, this paper constructs a...

The emerging market of cloud computing encourages cloud service providers (CSPs) to deliver efficient and effective services on the basis of appropriate provisioning of service resources. Overprovisioning and underprovisioning of service capacity lead to the wastage of cloud resources and...

Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) can be utilized to shave the peak load in power systems and thus defer the need to upgrade the power grid. Based on a rolling load forecasting method, along with the peak load reduction requirements in reality, at the planning level, we propose a BESS...

The migrant selection literature concentrates primarily on spatial patterns. This paper illustrates the implications of migration duration for patterns of selection by integrating two workhorses of the labor literature, a search model and a Roy model. Theory and empirics show temporary migrants...

Internal migration has the potential to substantially increase income, especially for the poor in developing countries, and yet migration rates remain low. We explore the role of psychic costs by evaluating the impacts of internal migration on a suite of well-being indicators using a unique,...
