Copper is a critical mineral resource and plays crucial role in social economic development. In China, the world’s largest copper consumer, footprints embodied transfers among sectors have not been studied sufficiently. Combing an environmentally extended input-output model complex network method, this paper systematically analyzes China’s consumption final demand production process. The resear...

Tarihsel olarak, talep sanayileşme için önemli bir dinamik olmuştur. Buna rağmen politikalarında arz yanlı dinamikler dikkate alınmakta ve eksik kalmaktadır. Ancak sürdürülebilir büyüme dinamikleri de alınmalıdır. Bu çerçevede çalışmanın amacı, dinamiklerinin ekonomi imalat sanayide nasıl katkı sağladığını analiz etmektir. Çalışmanın amacı kapsamında, Kranendonk Verbruggen (2005; 2008) tarafınd...

The awareness of energy consumption is an important factor for production. Energy consumption is related to costs. Regulations and laws have to be fulfilled. Furthermore, the ecological aspects have to be considered. Nevertheless, competitive goals prohibit an solely energy driven production control. In this paper, we describe the use case of demand-side energy management in the context of the ...

Pakistan's population welfare program was established with the assumption that many people in Pakistan did not use contraception because they had no access to an available supply of contraceptive methods. Were they provided contraceptives, widespread latent demand would translate into effective demand, and the contraceptive supplies would be used. The population welfare program since its ince...

The continuing expansion of Internet media consumption has increased traffic volumes, and hence congestion, on access links. In response, both mobile and wireline ISPs must either increase capacity or perform traffic engineering over existing resources. Unfortunately, provisioning timescales are long, the process is costly, and single-homing means operators cannot balance across the last mile. ...

We study the problem of incentivizing reliable demand-response in modern electricity grids. Each agent is uncertain about her future ability to reduce demand and unreliable. Agents who choose to participate in a demand-response scheme may be paid when they respond and penalized otherwise. The goal is to reliably achieve a demand reduction target while selecting a minimal set of agents from thos...

This paper aims to interpret Demand-Side Management (DSM) activity and to point out its problems, adopting micro economics as an analytical tool. Two major findings follow. First, the cost-benefit analysis currently in use has the following problems: (i) inconsistency in cost comparison between utility costs on the supply-side and utility costs plus customer costs on the demand-side, (ii) incon...
