The understanding of incumbents' behaviour in sustainability transitions in the energy sector is gaining increasing scholarly attention. However, two key structural characteristics of many incumbents in the energy sector are hardly taken into account: they ...
In this paper we develop a fully decentralized algorithm for policy evaluation with off-policy learning and linear function approximation. The proposed algorithm is of the variance reduced kind and achieves linear convergence with O(1) memory requirements. ...
In this paper, we study the operations of a one-way station-based carsharing system implementing a complete journey reservation policy. We consider the percentage of served demand as a primary performance measure and analyze the effect of several dynamic s ...
In Switzerland, Germany and Austria, as in many European countries, the transition of the energy sector towards more sustainability is a long-term transition process, unfolding since decades. It however only reached the regime level in recent years and the ...
Based on a seminal policy paper (Foray et al., 2009), the Smart Specialisation Strategies (S3) approach was integrated into the reformed cohesion policy of the European Union for 2014-20. This large-scale European experience provides a unique case study of ...
This article involves a conceptual evaluation of a large-scale innovation policy experiment—so-called smart specialization strategies (S3s)—that took place within the framework of the European regional cohesion programs between 2011 and the present. The go ...
Private households account for more than half of the demand addressed to the transport sector. We propose an analytical framework to describe transitions in transport behaviour across cases and to identify their respective drivers. With this, we aim to bet ...
The use of summer pastures in the European Alps provides much evidence against Hardin's prediction of the tragedy of the commons. For centuries, farmers have kept summer pastures in communal tenure and avoided its overuse with self-designed regulations. Du ...
Resource use is increasing globally, and four of nine planetary boundaries have now been crossed due human activities, out of which climate change and biosphere integrity are "core boundaries", implying a risk of driving the Earth system into a new state. ...
It is a frequent practice nowadays to use mean annual conversion factors (CFs) when performing life-cycle assessment (LCA) of processes and products that use electricity supplied by the grid. In this paper, we conduct an hourly assessment of the greenhouse ...
