Multiferroic‐Centric Materials and Systems Engineering for Battery Applications: An Insight Into Mechanisms, Strategies, and Characterizations

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Multiferroic order parameters – polarization, magnetization, and ferroelastic strain – are positioned as dynamic design variables for batteries. Their mechanistic roles, practical tuning through fabrication and external fields, and ferroic‐resolved characterization routes are unified into a closed‐loop framework, revealing how coupled ferroic responses

Economic Efficiency in Cooperatives

The Journal of Law and Economics, 1987
HE cooperative form of business organization has deep historical roots in the economy. The cooperative dairy association movement began in New York in the mid-1800s as a response to the monopsony power of privately held milk-processing plants.1 It was perceived that a producer cooperative had the ability to produce processed cheese from its members ...

Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space, 2004
The recent devolutionary trend across the world has been in part fuelled by claims of a supposed ‘economic dividend’ associated with the decentralization of authority and resources. The capacity of devolved administrations with greater autonomous powers to tailor policies to local preferences, to generate innovation in the provision of policies and ...

On measuring economic efficiency

Journal of Applied Econometrics, 1990
AbstractThis paper considers a system consisting of a production frontier and factor share equations to measure firm‐specific technical efficiency and input‐specific allocative efficiency simulataneously. In estimating the system as a whole, the joint distribution of all errors in the equations is used.

Cogeneration: Efficiencies and Economics

Cogeneration & Distributed Generation Journal, 2002
ABSTRACT The magnitude of cogeneration plant efficiency cannot, by itself, prove the plant's feasibility. The most reliable way to determine the feasibility of a cogeneration plant is to compare its performance versus a conventional scheme of generating electric power by a utility and obtaining thermal energy (steam, hot water) from a boiler.

Trade Unions and Economic Efficiency

The Economic Journal, 1983
In this paper, I shall investigate a role for trade unions in increasing economic efficiency. This role is enabling an improvement in the allocation of riskbearing between a firm and its employees. The essential idea is straightforward. If employers and employees are both risk averse, the optimal wage contract will not leave one party bearing all the ...

Economic Efficiency

2005
Abstract Traditional ideas of justice and morality in the law now face a radical challenge from economists and economically trained lawyers. Every good law school faculty now includes at least one scholar trained in a field called “law & economics” (L&E, for short).1 A novel form of interdisciplinary research has become a ...

Modeling the Economic Efficiency of Advertising [PDF]

open access: possibleCEUR Workshop Proceedings, Vol-2422: Proceedings of the Selected Papers of the 8th International Conference on Monitoring, Modeling & Management of Emergent Economy (M3E2-EEMLPEED 2019), 2019
The development of the economy and trade has led to the widespread use of advertising and the need for its constant improvement. There is a vast field of advertising theory. This paper proposes an information model of the functioning of advertising. We introduce ideas about useful and harmful (excess) information.

Economic Efficiency

Abstract “Law and economics” builds on economic ideas from Vilfredo Pareto, Nicholas Kaldor, Arthur Pigou, Ronald Coase, Christine Jolls, and others to criticize common-law rules and traditional notions of justice. A century of this conversation led to agreement on three points: Society is better off with “efficient” laws, reflecting ...
