although control charts are very common to monitoring process changes, they usually do not indicate the real time of the changes. identifying the real time of the process changes is known as change-point estimation problem. there are a number of change point models in the literature however most of the existing approaches are dedicated to normal processes. in this paper we propose a novel appro...

Based on stochastic frontier analysis and translog input distance function, this paper examines the total factor energy efficiency of China’s industry using input-output data of 30 subindustries from 2002 to 2014, and decomposes the changes in estimated total factor energy efficiency into the effects of technical change, technical efficiency change, scale efficiency change and inputmix effect. ...

The question “what is the object of socio-technical design and who is in charge of designing which aspects?” is generally described as a wicked problem which requires deliberate reflection – in theory as well as practice. Baxter’s and Sommerville’s differentiation between the development and change process and the development and change team provides a good basis for analysis. By reflecting on ...

The total factor productivity (TFP) of a multiple-output multiple-input firm can be defined as the ratio of an aggregate output to an aggregate input. With this definition, index numbers that measure changes in TFP can be expressed as the ratio of an output quantity index to an input quantity index. This paper uses the term multiplicatively complete to describe TFP index numbers that are constr...

Do carbon-offsetting schemes morally offset emissions? The moral equivalence thesis is the claim that combination of emitting greenhouse gasses and offsetting those emissions equivalent to not at all. This implies in response climate change, we need make any lifestyle changes reduce our as long them. An influential argument favor this premised on two claims, one empirical other normative: (1) W...
