Pareto law of the expenditure of a person in convenience stores

open access: yes, 2007
We study the statistical laws of the expenditure of a person in convenience stores by analysing around 100 million receipts. The density function of expenditure exhibits a fat tail that follows a power law.

A multi‐level approach for multi‐objective optimization in process eco‐design

open access: yesEnvironmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract This work addresses a central challenge in process eco‐design: how to efficiently integrate environmental and economic criteria—often conflicting—into early design stages while managing the high dimensionality of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) indicators.

Efficiency First or Equity First?: Two Principles and Rationality of Social Choice [PDF]

open access: yes
The Pareto efficiency criterion is often in conflict with the equity criteria as no-envy or as egalitarian-equivalence: An allocation x that is Pareto superior to another allocation y can be inferior to y in consideration of equity. This paper formalizes

Well-Being, Inequality and Time: The Time-Slice Problem and its Policy Implications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Should equality be viewed from a lifetime or sublifetime perspective? In measuring the inequality of income, for example, should we measure the inequality of lifetime income or of annual income? In characterizing a tax as progressive or regressive,

Do Institutions Make Street‐Level Bureaucrats Prosocial? Agent‐Based Evidence Shows That New Public Management Does Not

open access: yesEuropean Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Does street‐level bureaucrats' (SLBs) willingness to sacrifice their own self‐interests to meet the needs of their clients vary depending on their contexts? To date, it has been very challenging to empirically examine how SLBs who have different orientations toward social values might act in different institutional and administrative contexts.

Analysis of Energy Consumption, Economic Efficiency and Carbon Emissions of Ice Slurry Direct Supply System: A Case Study of China

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traditional air conditioners suffer from low energy efficiency and exacerbate grid peak loads. While ice storage offers energy‐saving potential, the systematic regulation of ice packing fraction (IPF) on cooling consumption and its synergy with dynamic carbon emissions remains unexplored.

Probabilistic Multi‐Objective Energy Management System Model for an Energy Hub With PtG Technology for Cost Reduction and System Flexibility Improvement

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Overview of the under‐study hub energy model showing the energy conversion and distribution among integrated sources and loads. ABSTRACT In this paper, a probabilistic bi‐objective energy management system (EMS) model is proposed for an energy hub (EH) equipped with renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic and wind turbine connected to the main ...
