Abstract:
... This study investigates if the Japan-Korea-Marker (JKM) price is a feasible benchmark to replace the oil indexation in Asian liquified natural gas (LNG) trade. For this purpose, we propose an equilibrium pricing model for the LNG long-term contract (LTC) in Asia. Our model incorporates the risk-averse importer and exporter who optimize their risk-profit tradeoffs by deciding their LTC-spot trade p ...

Abstract:
... The optimal design of borehole thermal energy storage systems can ensure their techno-economical goals are met. Current design optimization methods either employ detailed modelling unsuitable for numerical optimization or use simplified models that do not consider operational conditions. This paper proposes an optimization-oriented model and a non-convex optimization formulation that, differently ...

Abstract:
... The main insect sources of Chinese honey are Apis cerana and Apis mellifera. A. cerana honey has a higher nutritional value; therefore, its price is invariably several times higher than that of A. mellifera honey. Driven by economic interests, low-priced A. mellifera honey is often misrepresented as the more valuable A. cerana honey. In this study, Apis Major Royal Jelly Protein 2 (MRJP2) was used ...

Abstract:
... Aquaculture is growing to meet the increasing demand for aquaculture products but is not free of environmental impacts. One solution is to improve how feed are formulated, limiting the environmental impact of fish production. Multiobjective (MO) formulation, which aims for a compromise between lower cost and lower environmental impacts, appears to be a promising solution to reduce the environmenta ...

Abstract:
... We study a model in which a single good is to be allocated among n agents who face a reserve price. We propose a top-only mechanism that is budget-balanced and dominant strategy incentive-compatible and “burns” some of the allocation probability at some valuation profiles. It allocates the good with non-zero probability only to the top agent. We show that the reserve price that maximizes the expec ...

For this purpose, we use two channels of transmission: price movements and Google-based investor attention. Our results shed light on the dominance of only a few cryptocurrencies, in their influences on pric ...

Abstract:
... We study the effects of globalisation on the slope of the New Keynesian Phillips curve for CPI inflation, based on a panel of 35 countries. We find that the output gap generally has a significant positive effect on inflation, but that this effect decreases as integration in the global economy increases. We conclude that the advance of globalisation has been a key force behind the flattening of pri ...
