Abstract:
... The extensive financial benefit that a prosumer can reap from participating in P2P trading has been shown to be unprecedented by many recent studies. However, since the actual transfer of electricity occurs over the physical network, a key question that yet to answer is: what is the repercussion of P2P trading on the power losses in grid-connected electricity networks? To this end, this paper pres ...

Abstract:
... In school choice, priority-based affirmative action favors minority students by means of promoting their priority ranking at schools. This paper investigates the responsiveness of the top trading cycles mechanism to priority-based affirmative action when schools’ priority structure satisfies a certain acyclicity condition. When schools’ priority under the problem without affirmative action satisfi ...

4. Redesigning residual cost allocation in electricity tariffs: A proposal to balance efficiency, equity and cost recovery

Author:
Batlle, Carlos; Mastropietro, Paolo; Rodilla, Pablo

Subject:
consumers (people),   etc   ; electricity; renewable energy sources; tariffs;     Show all 4 Subjects
Abstract:
... In most power systems, residual costs (including, but not limited to, residual network costs and renewable support costs), are allocated through volumetric charges. This design, whose inefficiency has been latent in the last decades, is being challenged by the deployment of distributed energy resources, through which high-consumption customers may dramatically reduce the share of residual costs th ...

consumers (people),   etc   ; dietary restriction; emotions; food intake;     Show all 4 Subjects
Abstract:
... Within the domain of food consumption, we explore the antecedents and consequences of “guilty displeasures,” or experiences that consumers should enjoy, but do not. Food is an emotionally charged stimulus, with consumption leading to both positive (e.g., joy) and negative (e.g., guilt) emotions. Individuals who are high in dietary restraint are particularly susceptible to experiencing negative emo ...

Abstract:
... In a general evacuation time calculation, a single value is used for the specific flow for any bottlenecks. However, the specific flow can actually depend on the situation or the spatial constraints of the bottleneck. In this study, an experiment with 189 participants under laboratory conditions was carried out to analyze the behavior of pedestrians at openings with/without sidewalls after the ope ...

Abstract:
... Behavioral theories have much to offer researchers and policy makers who seek sustainable resource management within households. However, much research on household resource consumption applies theories of the individual to understand the behavioral patterns of what are very often groups of people cohabiting in a particular dwelling. This misalignment of levels of analysis leads to erroneous empir ...

Abstract:
... Location plays a very important role in geomarketing. Location tells where the customers are, identifies something in the surrounding area or solves problems regarding the location of a new outlet. However, in an urban area, the locations have a vertical component due to high-rise and multilevel buildings. This situation requires a new approach that can handle three-dimensional data for location a ...

Abstract:
... The literature on payments for ecosystem services (PES) applied in regions where indigenous peoples are key social actors has not cast much light on their preferences regarding the framing and design features that such economic incentives should have to ensure their effectiveness. Thus, it is key to find appropriate approaches that can be used to elicit the preferences of indigenous peoples regard ...

Abstract:
... Pro-environmental behavior has social signaling value. Previous research suggests that enacting pro-environmental behaviors can signal certain personal characteristics, such as social status and trustworthiness, to others. Using an incentivized experiment, we show that people known to behave pro-environmentally are expected to be more cooperative, are preferred as cooperation partners, and elicit ...

Abstract:
... The majority of existing commercial thermoelectric modules have fixed geometry, with customers purchasing those modules without adjusting its geometry for a specific application. However, previous investigations show that thermoelectric module geometry can have a significant influence on its output power – careful design considerations are therefore required. In this study, both simulation and exp ...

Abstract:

We develop a simple game-theoretic model to demonstrate that with the new General Data Protection Regulation’s (GDPR) right to port data between content providers (CPs), (i) the incumbent CP has less incentives to preserve users’ privacy, (ii) a new entrant CP will charge higher prices for its service, and (iii) customers of the new CP are worse off, while customers of the incumbent CP are better ...

Abstract:
... People exhibit different sensitivity to the signaling properties of body odors in the social context. Here, we aimed to investigate whether visual status modulates sensitivity to socially-relevant cues carried by body odors and whether it affects psychophysical ratings of such smells.

Abstract:
... Using the new macro data on risk aversion and patience by Falk et al. (2018), I show that risk aversion and patience are related to intelligence: high-IQ populations are more patient and more risk averse than low-IQ populations. The correlation between patience and intelligence corroborates previous results based on micro data. Intelligent people tend to be patient because they have long time hori ...

Abstract:
... Humans have generally been considered risk averse for gains. Yet, growing evidence shows that risk preferences may change across reward currencies and depend on the type of tasks used to measure them. Here, we examined how context affects human risk preferences to shed light on the psychological mechanisms underlying human decision-making under risk. Participants were presented with a descriptive ...

Abstract:
... Behind-the-meter solar photovoltaics (PV) have the ability to impact the distribution system due to the significant fluctuations in energy production and potential reverse power flow. While these phenomena are well understood, this research will investigate the level of solar penetration at which voltage rise and flicker are observed on a real-world distribution network. Using solar power data mea ...

Abstract:
... Canine separation anxiety is a common problem behavior with little known about the factors that lead to its development. This study investigated whether high arousal/excited departures and greetings with a dog may lead to the development of increased frequency of separation-related behavior in newly adopted dogs. In experiment 1, we exposed two groups of dogs to a series of either high or low arou ...
