International climate policy debate has been struggling to define an agreeable principle for just distribution of the burdens reducing greenhouse gases. By integrated assessment modeling, we investigate change mitigation pathways compatible with Paris Agreement goals under different carbon budget allocation principles, namely, cost-effectiveness, equality, and grandfathering 11 world regions. T...

This work is a study of neutrality in the context of Evolutionary Computation systems. In particular, we introduce the use of explicit neutrality with an integer string coding scheme to allow neutrality to be measured during evolution. We tested this method on a Boolean benchmark problem. The experimental results indicate that there is a positive relationship between neutrality and evolvability...

We discuss network neutrality regulation of the Internet in the context of a two-sided market model. Platforms sell broadband Internet access services to residential consumers and may set fees to content and application providers on the Internet. When access is monopolized, cross-group externalities (network effects) can give a rationale for network neutrality regulation (requiring zero fees to...

Net neutrality is an important telecommunications policy debate. This debate is closely tied to technological innovation, economic development, and information access. Values help shape stakeholders’ positions on this debate. This paper examines the role of values in shaping the Net neutrality debate through a content analysis of public hearings on Net neutrality. The paper presents a quantitat...

Network neutrality has been at the center of US telecommunications policy for several years, culminating in a recent FCC order imposing a limited form of net neutrality on US broadband Internet Service Providers (ISPs). The regulatory imposition of nondiscrimination and price regulation (the core of net neutrality) on ISPs has been hotly debated. In this paper, I review the recent economics lit...

I use data from the 1994 Consumer Expenditure Survey as well as other sources to measure the distributional impact of green tax reforms and consumption tax reforms using both annual income and lifetime income approaches to rank households. A modest tax reform in which environmental taxes equal to 10% of federal receipts are collected has a negligible impact on the income distribution when the f...

Abstract Prominent ECB representatives have stressed the goal of to green its monetary policy, inter alia by moving from market neutrality (green) efficiency as guiding principle policy making. The paper explores how EU taxonomy could become benchmark for a ECB, which influences credit allocation commercial banks, with negative impact on and growth in European Union.

In this paper, we revisit and study the basic properties of two families fuzzy implications, so-called (T,N)− (N′,T,N)− implications. More specific, when these implications satisfy, or not, neutrality property (NP), exchange principle (EP), identity (IP) ordering (OP). Moreover, a is presented for law importation (LI) with respect to t- norm. Also, relation Φ−conjugation in
