Superconductivity in MgB2: clean or dirty?
A large number of experimental facts and theoretical arguments favor a two-gap model for superconductivity in MgB2. However, this model predicts strong suppression of the critical temperature by interband impurity scattering and, presumably, a strong correlation between the critical temperature and the residual resistivity. No such correlation has been observed. We argue that this fact can be u...
متن کاملElasticity of Substitution between Clean and Dirty Energy Inputs – A Macroeconomic Perspective
Recently Acemolgu, Aghion, Bursztyn and Hemous (AER 2012) formulated a model in which a high macroeconomic elasticity of substitution between clean and dirty production represents a crucial condition for green growth. Until now it has never been systematically estimated. Using a novel panel of cross-country sectoral data, we formulate specifications of nested CES production functions that allow...
متن کاملRenewable energy portfolio standards (RPS) and achieving the optimal mix of renewable energy
Global development in terms of increased attention to environmental protection and the finite nature of fossil resources have accelerated the use of renewable energies. Renewable energy portfolio standard (RPS), is a government policy to promote the use of renewable energy in the energy consumption basket. The RPS stipulates the minimum amount of renewable energy that each electricity supplier...
متن کاملPlanning Greenhouses Energy Supply with Focus on Renewable Energy in Microgrid Mode
Climate change and the increasing population of countries have made the importance of greenhouses more important for future food security. One of the most important considerations in greenhouse production is the need of energy to create suitable greenhouse conditions. Therefore, in this paper, the problem of greenhouse energy planning with a focus on renewable energies will be investigated. To ...
متن کاملEconomic Growth and Renewable Energy in Iran
Energy plays an active role in sustainable development in Iran, both in the sustainable and the development aspects. This study aims to estimate the nexus of economic growth and the renewable energy in Iran during 1981-2012. We employ the Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model to estimate a log-linear equation. The results suggest that renewable energy consumption is an insignificant driv...
