Estimation of Cost Allocation Coefficients at the Farm Level Using an Entropy Approach [PDF]
This paper aims to estimate the farm cost allocation coefficients from whole farm input costs. An entropy approach was developed under a Tobit formulation and was applied to a sample of farms from the 2004 FADN data base for Alentejo region, Southern ...

Rethinking evolution, entropy and economics: A triadic conceptual framework for the maximum entropy principle as applied to the growth of knowledge [PDF]
Recently, the maximum entropy principle has been applied to explain the evolution of complex non-equilibrium systems, such as the Earth system. I argue that it can also be fruitfully deployed to reconsider the classical treatment of entropy in economics ...

The evolutionary approach to entropy: Reconciling Georgescu-Roegen's natural philosophy with the maximum entropy framework [PDF]
In Georgescu-Roegen's classical, though controversial discussion of entropy in relation to economics, the dualism of mechanical and subjective time plays a pivotal role.

On the Clausius-Duhem Inequality and Maximum Entropy Production in a Simple Radiating System
Entropy, 2014 A black planet irradiated by a sun serves as the archetype for a simple radiating two-layer system admitting of a continuum of steady states under steadfast insolation.

Maximum entropy production and the fluctuation theorem
Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 2005 Recently the author used an information theoretical formulation of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics (MaxEnt) to derive the fluctuation theorem (FT) concerning the probability of second law violating phase-space paths. A less rigorous argument leading to the variational principle of maximum entropy production (MEP) was also given.

MELE: MAXIMUM ENTROPY LEUVEN ESTIMATORS [PDF]
Multicollinearity hampers empirical econometrics. The remedies proposed to date suffer from pitfalls of their own. The ridge estimator is not generally accepted as a vital alternative to the ordinary least-squares (OLS) estimator because it depends upon ...

Maximum Entropy Production Is Not a Steady State Attractor for 2D Fluid Convection
Entropy, 2016 Multiple authors have claimed that the natural convection of a fluid is a process that exhibits maximum entropy production (MEP). However, almost all such investigations were limited to fixed temperature boundary conditions (BCs). It was found that under

Spatial Disaggregation of Agricultural Production Data [PDF]
In this paper we develop a dynamic data-consistent way for estimating agricultural land use choices at a disaggregate level (district-level), using more aggregate data (regional-level). The disaggregation procedure requires two steps.

Probabilistic evolution of black hole thermodynamic states via Fokker–Planck equation
European Physical Journal C: Particles and FieldsEmploying the generalized free energy landscape and solving the associated Fokker–Planck equation, we obtain the time-dependent probability evolution of the order parameter for the RN-AdS black hole phase transitions.

Maximum Entropy Production in Climate Theory
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2007 Abstract R. D. Lorenz et al. claim that recent data on Mars and Titan show that planetary atmospheres are in unconstrained states of maximum entropy production (MEP). Their model as it applies to Venus, Earth, Mars, and Titan is reexamined, and it is shown that their claim is not justified.
