This proposal focuses on the firms’ political capabilities as the major determinant to effectiveness of their nonmarket strategy. The term “nonmarket strategy” is relatively young and was primarily coined by Baron (1995) referring to the fact that a firm h ...
Implementation of policies and measures is an important feature of effective climate policy design. In the political decision process, implementation depends to some extent on interest group influence. This project deals with business interest groups influ ...
Demonstration learning is a powerful and practical technique to develop robot behaviors. Even so, development remains a challenge and possible demonstration limitations, for example correspondence issues between the robot and demonstrator, can degrade poli ...
This paper investigates the effectiveness of voluntary approaches in a comparative case study on European and Swiss climate legislation. Voluntary approaches are known to be less environmentally effective and economic efficient than other climate policy in ...
The dynamics of sales opportunities can be modelled by a Markov Decision Process. The latter can be solved by using dynamic programming and assigns to each state an optimal action. In this project, states are modelled by the number of opportunities at five ...
Contrary to the case of the United States where a systematic management of the RD&D on lignocellulosic ethanol prevails, in Europe the research works remain fragmented despite the efforts made by the European Union and in few member states. In most of the ...

The influence of firms on the elaboration of climate policy in a democratic system is quite controversial. Firms do not form a solid bloc of opponents to environmental regulation. Some firms even expect to gain from such regulation, either because they off ...
Quantitative assessments help to highlight the main features of climate policies by better identifying their strengths and weaknesses. In this study, we develop a grading system for assessing thirteen proposals for post-2012 climate policy. We believe that ...
