Analytical stress solution framework for lined compressed air energy storage chambers and its application to safe burial depth determination and supporting effectiveness evaluation

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
An analytical framework delivers a closed‐form stress solution for lined compressed air energy storage chambers, enabling the determination of the minimum safe burial depth. The solution quantitatively evaluates lining support effectiveness, offering a reliable tool for chamber design and optimization.

Lost in Translation? Risk‐Adjusting RMSE for Economic Forecast Performance

open access: yesJournal of Forecasting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT When used for parameter optimization and/or model selection, traditional mean squared error (MSE)–based measures of forecast accuracy often exhibit a weak or even negative correlation with the economic value of return forecasts measured by, for example, the Sharpe ratios of the resulting portfolios.

Why the Kuznets Curve will always Reverse ? [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper, we develop a model of innovation-based growth to address the issue of skill-biased technical change over the long run. We show that innovations fluctuate endogenously from skill-intensive to unskilled-intensive sectors, thereby generating ...

Further Findings on the Intergenerational Transmission of Alcohol Consumption

open access: yesHealth Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using 43,817 parent–child pairs from 23 waves of the HILDA Survey, I study the intergenerational transmission of alcohol use within a rational model of trait transmission. Transmission is predominantly same‐sex: the mother–daughter elasticity is 0.10 and the father–son elasticity is 0.09; there is no father–daughter effect.

A Completely Monotonic Function Involving Divided Difference of Psi Function and an Equivalent Inequality Involving Sum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
In this paper, a function involving the divided difference of the psi function is proved to be completely monotonic, a class of inequalities involving sum are founded, and an equivalent relation between the complete monotonicity and one of the class ...
