Abstract:
... A risk framework including four risk reduction objectives was developed to guide the selection of the most effective, least trade restrictive measures for use in phytosanitary systems approaches. Here we discuss its role in relation to control points, verification and traceability systems. Development of systems approaches is typically a two-step process, identifying and assessing measures to redu ...

Abstract:
... We investigate whether luck is a relevant factor in election outcomes by analyzing how a country’s change in terms of trade close to the election impacts the probability of reelection of the incumbent party. We draw from economic and political data on countries around the world and find that changes in the terms of trade one year before the election affect the reelection probability. Import prices ...

Abstract:
... Oil security has long been a political focus for the world major economies. However, existing literature on oil security assessment often omitted the network structure of the global oil trade, its dynamics, and individual countries’ role in this complex network. In this paper, a hybrid assessment framework integrating complex network indicators of global oil trade with traditional indicators was e ...

Abstract:
... In water resource systems, the demands at each reservoir are generally known. However, in the integrated operation of a system involving inter-basin water transfers, the import/export of water among various reservoirs also plays an important role in the sustainable and optimal management of available water. Generally, a trial and error approach is adopted to simulate a system for integrated operat ...

Abstract:
... Long-term energy system optimization models can be designed to model systems with a broad geographical scope that comprises multiple countries. However, due to computational limitations, often the geographical scope is restricted to a single country. This raises the problem of correctly accounting for cross-border trade of electricity in models with a limited geographical scope. Therefore, this pa ...
