he transition from high- to lower-carbon production systems increasingly creates regulatory and market risks for high-emitting firms. We test what extent equity investors demand a premium compensate such thus might raise firms' cost of capital (CoE). Using data 1,897 firms spanning 50 countries over the years 2008–2016, we find distinct robust positive impact carbon intensity (carbon emissions ...

In many European Union (EU) Member States (MS), rare disease (RD) patients are subject to marginalisation in classic healthcare systems designed for non-rare diseases. As a result they do not experience equal access to timely, high quality health services they deserve. The restructuring of healthcare systems to better reflect the values of equity and solidarity amongst RD patients, professional...

Social acceptance of fusion reactors depends largely on their economic viability. To investigate this issue, we estimate and compare the cost of electricity (COE) among D-T, D-3He, and D-D fusion reactors. Three types of confinement systems are evaluated: the tokamak reactor (TR), the spherical tokamak reactor (STR), and helical reactor (HR). For each reactor type, COE parameter surveys are per...

The Fibonomial coe¢ cients are known as interesting generalization of binomial coe¢ cients. In this paper, we derive a (k + 1)th recurrence relation and generating matrix for the Fibonomial coe¢ cients, which we call generalized Fibonomial matrix. We …nd a nice relationship between the eigenvalues of the Fibonomial matrix and the generalized right-adjusted Pascal matrix that they have the same ...

A conjugated oligoelectrolyte (COE), which spontaneously aligns within cell membranes, was shown to completely inhibit H2 uptake by Geobacter sulfurreducens in microbial electrolysis cells. Coulombic efficiencies that were 490±95%, due to H2 recycling between the cathode and microorganisms on the anode, were reduced to 86±2% with COE addition. The use of the COE resulted in a 67-fold increase i...

Introduction Class of evidence (CoE) is a hierarchical rating system used by EBSJ and most major scientific publications for classifying the overall quality of an individual study. It is a shortcut to identifying what is likely the best (or worst) evidence on a given topic. The “classes” range from I to IV with “CoE I” representing the highest level of evidence, and “CoE IV” representing the lo...

Coe and Helpman (1995) estimated a relationship between TFP and levels of domestic and foreign R&D capital, but couldn't provide compelling evidence of the panel eointegration needed to support their estimation strategy. This paper uses Pedroni's (1997, 1998) tests for panel cointegration in both the Coe-Helpman setup and in a framework with more cross-section heterogeneity. Criticisms of the C...

Bondan Hamlet is a hamlet in Kampung Laut District, Cilacap. One of the community's problems lack clean water and PLN electricity network. In 2020, desalination facility named Sidesi Mas will be built with capacity 240 liters/hour using reverse osmosis principle. The energy source for uses solar power plant (PLTS). Desalination management requires economic analysis, especially determining selli...

AB diblock copolymers were prepared by sequential ring-opening metathesis polymerization of cyclooctenes catalyzed by a Ru-based Grubbs catalyst. The relatively slow polymerization of cis-3-phenylcyclooct-1-ene (3PC) or cis-cyclooct-2-en-1-yl acetate (3AC) was first carried out and then followed by the faster polymerization of unsubstituted cis-cyclooctene (COE) from the active Ru-alkylidene ch...
