Problems dealing with the design and the operations of gas transmission networks are challenging. The difficulty mainly arises from the simultaneous modeling of gas transmission laws and of the investment costs. The combination of the two yields a non-line ...
Numerical models of snow avalanches propagation have acquired a central role among decision tools for avalanche protection engineering. Nevertheless, the systematic implementation of these models still faces a number of difficulties including the precise e ...
The need to maximise the lifetime of existing road bridges necessitates clear and efficient tools for engineers to perform structural safety verifications based on monitored data. This study develops methodologies for ultimate limit safety (ULS) verificati ...
Are some banks prone to perform poorly during crises? If yes, why? In this paper, we show that a bank's stock return performance during the 1998 crisis predicts its stock return performance and probability of failure during the recent financial crisis. Thi ...
The sediment transport capacity of the Avançon river through the city of Bex in Switzerland is limited. During the October 2000 flood event, water levels rose to danger limits. After the flood, the river channel was completely filled with sediments, with a ...
In 2005, the Economist Intelligence Unit conducted a survey with Chief Risk Officers worldwide across all industries and asked about the biggest threat to their businesses. Interestingly, regulatory risk ranked first. It dominated all other types of risk, ...
Through an analysis of 497 foreign researchers in Italy and Portugal we verify the impact of home linkages on return mobility choices and scientific productivity. We consider the presence of several different types of linkages of the researchers working ab ...
Mountain snow cover is an important source of water and essential for winter tourism in Alpine countries. However, large amounts of snow can lead to destructive avalanches, floods, traffic interruptions or even the collapse of buildings. We use annual maxi ...
In an estimated two-country DSGE model, we find that efficiency shocks specific to investment account for more than half of the forecast variance of cyclical fluctuations in the US trade balance. Both domestic and foreign investment-specific shocks have a ...
Ghent University Faculty of Economics and Business Administration Working Paper 2008/5442011
Rock falls represent a serious threat to communities living in mountainous areas in several European countries, and their potential hazard must be taken into account for an appropriate land use planning and for establishing risk mitigation measures. Rock f ...
