AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Integrated dynamic scheduling (IDS) and economic nonlinear model predictive control (eNMPC) enable economic operation of chemical plants subject to volatile energy prices. Herein, we combine the two concepts into an integrated two‐layer scheme. Therein, IDS performs “long‐horizon” scheduling on a day‐ahead (DA) market and eNMPC “short‐horizon”

Switching cost and store choice
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 105, Issue 1, Page 195-218, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Switching costs are generally regarded as anticompetitive as firms can raise prices to “locked‐in” consumers, at least up to the cost of switching to a lower‐priced alternative. However, there is some evidence, both theoretical and empirical, that tends to show the opposite.

Economica, Volume 90, Issue 357, Page 39-64, January 2023., 2023 We assess the long‐run growth effects of rising longevity and increasing the retirement age when growth is driven by purposeful research and development. In contrast to economies in which growth depends on learning‐by‐doing spillovers, raising the retirement age fosters economic growth.

IMPLIED-IN-PRICES EXPECTATIONS: THEIR ROLE IN ARBITRAGE
Atti della Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti : Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali, 2014 Real prices are created on markets by supply and demand and they do not have to follow some distributions or have some properties, which we often assume. However, prices have to follow some rules in order to make arbitrage impossible.
