Temporal Dynamics of Tourism Sustainability: Economic and Environmental Evidence From Greece
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Tourism is a resource‐intensive sector that generates substantial economic benefits while exerting long‐term pressure on energy systems and the environment. This study examines the sustainability of tourism in Greece by analyzing how tourism growth affects economic performance, energy consumption, and carbon emissions across different time ...

Application of the MCMC Method for the Calibration of DSMC Parameters [PDF]
, 2020 . A Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm was employed to obtain a calibrated distribution for the hard sphere diameter, VHS reference diameter, and the temperature viscosity exponent of argon, for use in the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC ...

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article examines whether economic growth reduces inequalities in access to water and sanitation across 64 countries over an average period of 13.5 years. Drawing on disaggregated data by income quintiles and rural–urban location, and employing ordinary least squares (OLS), two‐stage least squares (2SLS), and Seemingly Unrelated Regression

The Extended Hodrick-Prescott (HP) Filter for Spatial Regression Smoothing [PDF]
The Hodrick-Prescott (HP) method is a popular smoothing method for economic time series to get a longterm component of stationary series like growth rates. The new extended HP smoothing model is applied to data-sets with an underlying metric and requires

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Energy dependence poses significant risks for economic development, particularly in regions that rely heavily on imported fossil fuels. This paper examines how energy dependence and energy import diversification influence economic development across 27 European Union countries between 2000 and 2022. Using IV‐GMM and panel quantile regressions,

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Predation by pine martens Martes martes and red foxes Vulpes vulpes is an important factor influencing the population dynamics of capercaillie Tetrao urogallus. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the relative effects of these mesopredators on the reproductive success of capercaillie. To better understand how various landscape factors influence

An adaptive sequential Monte Carlo sampler [PDF]
, 2013 Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods are not only a popular tool in the analysis of state–space models, but offer an alternative to Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) in situations where Bayesian inference must proceed via simulation.
