The scope of this thesis is to build a 1D numerical model of a hydraulic powerplant, transform it to simulate the upgrade of the powerplant into a pumped storage system, establish the issues that would emerge from it in the surge tanks and test several sol ...
The fabrication of particle-based photoelectrodes by coating or dipping procedures-similar to the scaled fabrication of battery electrodes-can be a route to overcome the efficiency-cost tradeoff of photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting devices. Additi ...
One underexplored factor directly affecting firms' use of trademarks relates to the fees associated with obtaining a mark. This paper provides econometric estimates of the fee elasticity of demand for trademark applications. Using a panel of monthly intern ...
This introductory, along with the eight articles contained within this Special Issue, highlights and brings greater clarity to entrant-incumbent interactions and to firm movement - when entrants traverse market territories for the creation and/or delivery ...
This thesis aims to further investigate rare natural disasters and studies adaptation decisions under uncertainty by solving several computational economic models. The modeling of rare natural disasters depends on the treatment of catastrophic outcomes wit ...
Agricultural crop residues serve as a renewable source for production of bioethanol and other value added chemicals. Optimization of enzymatic saccharification may ensure cost-effective production of bioethanol and other industrially important products. He ...
The financial crisis of 2007-2009 drew attention to the essential role of banks for the macroeconomy and to the importance of having a resilient financial sector. A vulnerability in the financial sector spills over to the real economy and can drive it into ...
In the meta-modeling approach one builds a numerically tractable dynamic optimization or game model in which the parameters are identifed through statistical emulation of a detailed large scale numerical simulation model. In this paper we show how this app ...

The development of fragility curves to perform seismic scenario-based risk assessment requires a fully probabilistic procedure in order to account for uncertainties at each step of the computation. This is especially true when developing fragility curves c ...
