Estimating Historical Energy Security Costs

Estimating Historical Energy Security Costs

Energy security is of increasing importance in today’s world, yet little research has been carried out on the costs or benefits of energy security policies. This paper looks at the period after the 1970s to estimate the cost premium of electricity generation due to energy security policies. The cost premium is estimated for France, Germany, Italy and Spain for the period 1980-2000 by estimating...

Estimating the Energy Costs of Intermittent Exercise

To date, steady state models represent the only acceptable methodology for the estimation of exercise energy costs. Conversely, comparisons made between continuous and intermittent exercise generally reveal major physiological discrepancies, leading to speculation as to why steady state energy expenditure models should be applied to intermittent exercise. Under intermittent conditions, skeletal...

Estimating Historical Volatility

The research considers the properties of a number of statistical measures of volatility, extending from the common standard deviation metric to less widely used range-based measures. Prior research in this field, which has typically featured the use of data series generated by Monte Carlo simulation within the theoretical framework of Geometric Brownian Motion, has tended towards the conclusion...

Estimating Environmental Costs

Added demands on natural resources and proposed environmental regulations could potentially have a significant impact on the production and operational costs of information technology (IT). In this paper, we utilize an Economic Input-Output Life-Cycle Assessment (EIO-LCA) framework to model projected changes in the cost structure of a portfolio of IT products due to increased electricity prices...
