When There's No November Rain: Developing a Parametric Insurance for Hydroelectric Energy Generators in Brazil. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Hydrological risk is a growing challenge for renewable power systems, as droughts reduce generation, increase costs, and expose gaps in risk‐transfer mechanisms. We examine this problem in Brazil, home to the world's sixth‐largest electricity system and highly dependent on hydroelectricity, which accounted for 43% of installed generation ...

LLM‐based prior elicitation for Bayesian graphical modeling
ABSTRACT In the Bayesian graphical modeling framework, priors on network structure encode theoretical assumptions and uncertainty about the topology of psychological constructs under study. For instance, the Bernoulli prior specifies the probability of each pairwise interaction, the Beta–Bernoulli prior governs expected network density, and the ...

ABSTRACT While the literature on employees' innovative work behavior (IWB) treats leaders as a homogeneous source of firm‐internal knowledge, we examine how learning from different types of senior leaders (supervisors, coaches, and mentors) differentially affects employees' IWB and how these effects vary with the uncertainty of work tasks.

On the profitability of behaviour‐based price discrimination under purchase‐dependent preferences
Abstract We study optimal monopoly pricing of non‐durable goods over two periods when consumer preferences evolve endogenously. We introduce a propensity for a second purchase that defines the influence of the first‐period purchase on the second‐period willingness to pay for the product, reflecting either satiation or habit.

Modelling multi-output stochastic frontiers using copulas [PDF]
The aim of this work is to introduce a new econometric methodology for multi-output production frontiers. In the context of a system of frontier equations, we use a flexible multivariate distribution for the inefficiency error term.

Speculative Unity in Hegel's Restrictive Identity Claim
Abstract Hegel identifies thought with the ‘in itself’ of things. It is common to read the statement as an unrestricted claim regarding Hegel's metaphysical view of reality. I argue it should be read as the expression of what speculative truth achieves.

Learning gains from work placements: Innovative behavior and the role of emotional competencies
Abstract The importance of innovative behavior (IB) has been well documented, and the engagement of employees in IB has become a tacit norm in many organizations. It has also been understood that IB is emotionally charged. However, little research has concentrated on whether higher education (HE) providers can foster IB in university students, and ...

Optimal Hedging Strategies in the Low‐Sulphur Bunker Fuel Landscape
ABSTRACT The IMO2020 regulation for the green transition in shipping turned the industry into using two compliant bunker fuels: very low‐sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) and low‐sulphur marine gas oil (LSMGO). VLSFO futures contracts introduced in late 2019 and other energy‐related futures contracts indicate that the VLSFO contracts trading on the Singapore ...
