Do Banks in the Middle East and North Africa Region Price Carbon Exposure?

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines whether carbon exposure is incorporated into corporate borrowing costs within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Using a panel of 771 firm‐year observations from publicly listed non‐financial firms between 2016 and 2023, the analysis investigates the relationship between carbon intensity and firms' cost of debt

A new proof of the Lagrange multiplier rule [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We present an elementary self-contained proof for the Lagrange multiplier rule. It does not refer to any substantial preparations and it is only based on the observation that a certain limit is positive. At the end of this note, the power of the Lagrange

An exact, unified distributional characterization of statistics used to test linear hypotheses in simple regression models [PDF]

open access: yes
The Wald, likelihood ratio and Lagrange multiplier test statistics are commonly used to test linear restrictions in regression models. It is shown that for testing these restrictions in the classical regression model, the exact densities of these test ...

Ensemble‐based soil liquefaction assessment: Leveraging CPT data for enhanced predictions

open access: yesCivil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 23-35, March 2025.
Abstract This study focuses on predicting soil liquefaction, a critical phenomenon that can significantly impact the stability and safety of structures during seismic events. Accurate liquefaction assessment is vital for geotechnical engineering, as it informs the design and mitigation strategies needed to safeguard infrastructure and reduce the risk ...

A safe reinforcement learning approach for autonomous navigation of mobile robots in dynamic environments

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract When deploying mobile robots in real‐world scenarios, such as airports, train stations, hospitals, and schools, collisions with pedestrians are intolerable and catastrophic. Motion safety becomes one of the most fundamental requirements for mobile robots.

Generalized Lagrange Multipliers in Elastoplastic Torsion

open access: yesJournal of Differential Equations, 1994
It has been shown that for a solution \(u \in K = \{u \in H^ 1_ 0(\Omega) : | Dv(x)| \leq 1\) a.e. in \(\Omega\}\) of the problem \(\min_{v \in K} \bigl\{ \int_ \Omega f(x,Dv) dx - \int_ \Omega gv dx\biggr \}\), where \(f(x,\cdot)\) is strictly convex for a.e. \(x \in \Omega\), \(\alpha | \xi|^ 2 \leq f(x,\xi) \leq A(1 + | \xi|^ 2)\) for a.e.

Cost Minimization of a Competitive Firm [PDF]

open access: yes
One of the economists’ missions is to predict the behavioral responses of consumers or firms on the assumption that optimizing continues. Once this capability is developed, economists try to manage “today” to optimize future economic return of the inputs.

Gibbs energy minimization thermodynamics for CO2 capture by aqueous amines: Conservation laws, concentration variables, and parameter consistency

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
We clarify how Gibbs‐energy‐minimization models for aqueous‐amine CO2 capture fail when conservation constraints and concentration conventions are inconsistent. Exact standard‐state conversions and Reaktoro case studies show that P(CO2)‐loading fits can mask non‐unique parameters and wrong speciation, motivating complete water‐inclusive formulations ...

A Simple Representation of the Bera-Jarque-Lee Test for Probit Models [PDF]

open access: yes
The inference in probit models relies on the assumption of normality. However, tests of this assumption are not implemented in standard econometric software. Therefore, the paper presents a simple representation of the Bera-Jarque-Lee test, that does not

A partial envelope approach for modelling multivariate spatial‐temporal data

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract In the new era of big data, modelling multivariate spatial‐temporal data is a challenging task due to both the high dimensionality of the features and complex associations among the responses across different locations and time points.
