Research on fatigue life of steel wire ropes under impact loads based on double Pareto lognormal distribution

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2017
Fatigue damage is the most important failure mode of wire ropes, and models of cumulative fatigue damage of wire ropes under multiple impact loads have been proposed based on the principle of microdamage linear accumulation.

T‐calibration in semi‐parametric models

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract This article relates the calibration of models to the consistent loss functions for the target functional of the model. Correctly specified models are calibrated. Conversely, we demonstrate that if there is a parameter value that is optimal under all consistent loss functions, then a model is calibrated.

Social Preference Under Twofold Uncertainty [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We investigate the conflict between the ex ante and ex post criteria of social welfare in a new framework of individual and social decisions, which distinguishes between two sources of uncertainty, here interpreted as an objective and a subjective source

Reference Set Generator: A Method for Pareto Front Approximation and Reference Set Generation

open access: yesMathematics
In this paper, we address the problem of obtaining bias-free and complete finite size approximations of the solution sets (Pareto fronts) of multi-objective optimization problems (MOPs). Such approximations are, in particular, required for the fair usage

Does Indirect Tax Harmonization Deliver Pareto Improvements in the Presence of Global Public Goods? [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper identifies conditions under which, starting from any tax distorting equilibrium, destination- and origin-based indirect tax-harmonizing reforms are potentially Pareto improving in the presence of global public goods.

Split Cycle: A New Condorcet Consistent Voting Method Independent of Clones and Immune to Spoilers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
We introduce a new Condorcet consistent voting method, called Split Cycle. Split Cycle belongs to the small family of known voting methods satisfying independence of clones and the Pareto principle.

Challenges and Enablers in Embedding SDGs Within Sustainability Reports

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores how Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are integrated into sustainability reporting (SR), emphasizing the role of reporting in advancing transparency and sustainable development. Using a systematic literature review of 139 academic articles, the research identifies four thematic clusters: Communication, Determinant ...

On the Possibility of Continuous, Paretian and Egalitarian Evaluation of Infinite Utility Streams [PDF]

open access: yes
There exists a utilitarian tradition à la Sidgwick of treating equal generations equally in the form of anonymity. Diamond showed that no social evaluation ordering over infinite utility streams satisfying the Pareto principle, Sidgwick's equity ...

When does aggregation reduce uncertainty aversion? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We study the problem of uncertainty sharing within a household: "risk sharing," in a context of Knightian uncertainty. A household shares uncertain prospects using a social welfare function.
