Stochastic Optimal Growth when the Discount Rate Vanishes [PDF]
It has been shown that long-run optimality of the limit of discounted optima when the discount rate vanishes is implied by a condition on the value function of the optimal program.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Accurately knowing the frontier orbital energies of the structurally disordered small‐molecule organic semiconductors that are used in optoelectronic devices such as organic light‐emitting diodes is required to rationally improve their performance. Here, we show that these energies can be deduced with a large accuracy from the peak energies of

Structural change in the forward discount: a Bayesian analysis of forward rate unbiasedness hypothesis [PDF]
Using Bayesian methods, we reexamine the empirical evidence from Sakoulis et al. (2010) regarding structural breaks in the forward discount for G-7 countries.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Stacked nanoflake assembly (SNA) membranes can oscillate autonomously, offering opportunities for soft actuation and energy harvesting. This work uncovers the physical mechanism behind the sustained oscillation of SNA membranes in gradient humidity and identifies three governing dimensionless parameters, enabling rational design for optimizing SNA ...

Public and Private Sector Discount Rates in Public-Private Partnerships [PDF]
Whether public sector projects should be discounted at a lower rate than private sector projects is a highly contentious issue and one that has spawned an enormous literature.

Advances in Magnesium‐Based Thermoelectrics: A Critical Review
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Magnesium‐based thermoelectric materials have emerged as promising candidates for low‐to‐mid‐temperature energy conversion due to their abundance, low cost, and competitive performance. This review summarizes recent advances in Mg3X2, MgAgSb, and Mg2X systems, covering transport mechanisms, fabrication strategies, stability challenges, and device ...

Measuring the Social Discount Rate under Uncertainty: A Methodology and Application [PDF]
It is well recognised that the issue of the social rate of discount applies only to the gains from public investment that accrues to the public sector. When it comes to measurement, however, there is a problem: public investment in infrastructure and the

The influence of factor space on the value of discount rate in the assessment of investment projects
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018 The purpose of the paper is to identify factor space influencing on the value of discount rate in the assessment of effectiveness of investment and construction projects.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.By designing a P/N‐ and π–π interacting biphenyl‐containing diol as hard segments but side groups, a strong, tough, fire‐extinguishing and self‐healing elastomer is developed, demonstrating a break strain of ∼2500%, a toughness of 379 MJ/m3 and a tensile strength of 46 MPa, as well as a healing efficiency of 95% (tensile strength) and 99% (break strain)
