Optimal dividends for a NatCat insurer in the presence of a climate tipping point

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract We study optimal dividend strategies for an insurance company facing natural catastrophe claims, anticipating the arrival of a climate tipping point after which the claim intensity and/or the claim size distribution of the underlying risks deteriorates irreversibly.

Blasting effects of cross‐fault deep‐buried excavation on adjacent existing tunnel stability

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Based on the theoretical analysis of cylindrical wave propagation in a deep rock mass in the fault with a filling layer, the calculation method of peak particle velocity caused by wave propagation in the existing tunnel is established. The viscoelastic characteristics of a rock mass are examined in the analysis.

Hyperbolical Discounting and Endogenous Growth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This paper provides the exact analytical solution for the standard model of endogenous growth when consumers have present-biased preferences and make time-inconsistent savings plans, which they revise continuously. It is shown that long-run growth is not

Ultra‐Fast and Economical Pre‐Breakdown Electrochemical Synthesis of Intrinsically Conductive Polymer Suspension for Production of Safe Lithium‐Ion Batteries

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This paper presents a breakthrough pre‐breakdown electrochemical method for synthesizing polyNiMeOSalen suspensions, achieving an 83% yield and nanoscale dispersion ($1500/kg) and environmental impact (1.42 kg CO2eq/kg). We report a novel pre‐breakdown electrochemical synthesis method for producing polyNiMeOSalen suspensions with exceptional ...

A Flexible Test for Present Bias and Time Preferences Using Land-Lease Contracts [PDF]

open access: yes
When agents have present bias, they discount more between now and the next period than between period t (> 1) and t + 1. How fast the future discount rate (evaluated today) decays is an empirical question.

Exact and Approximate Determinization of Discounted-Sum Automata [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A discounted-sum automaton (NDA) is a nondeterministic finite automaton with edge weights, valuing a run by the discounted sum of visited edge weights.

Solar Energy in 2025: Global Deployment, Cost Trends, and the Role of Energy Storage in Enabling a Resilient Smart Energy Infrastructure

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This paper explores global solar PV deployment, cost trends, and grid integration challenges in 2025. It examines the role of energy storage in firming solar output and supporting electric vehicle (EV) growth, alongside policy shifts, investment flows, and technological innovations.

Regime‐Dependent Nowcasting of the Austrian Economy

open access: yesJournal of Forecasting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We nowcast and forecast economic activity in Austria, namely, real gross domestic product (GDP), consumption, and investment, which are available at a quarterly frequency, using a preselected number of monthly indicators based on a combination of statistical procedures.
