Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Only 17% of Sustainable Development Goal indicators are globally on track, yet the structural conditions explaining this failure remain inadequately theorised for fossil‐fuel‐dependent economies. This study develops and empirically tests a four‐layer loop framework of Technology, Well‐being, Social Equity, and Sustainability closing through ...

Link and effect model for performance improvement of railway infrastructure [Elektronisk resurs]
, 2012 Railway traffic has increased over the last decade and it is believed to increase further with transportation shifting from road to rail, due to rising energy costs and the demand to reduce emissions.

Small, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable electronics necessitates sustainable power sources to replace the limited electrochemical battery. While mechanical energy harvesting offers a promising solution, traditional harvesters face challenges of irregular and low−frequency environmental sources. This review presents the

Charging the polluters: A pricing model for road and railway noise [PDF]
This study outlines a method to estimate the short run marginal cost (SRMC) for road and railway noise. It is based on standardized calculation methods for total noise levels and monetary cost estimates from well established evaluation methods.

Greenway development and gentrification
Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.Abstract This paper presents research on expanding access to green spaces in developed areas. Critics claim greenway projects lead to gentrification by increasing the demand for housing and pushing out residents in nearby neighborhoods. We look for evidence of this phenomenon using a sorting model and panel data on aggregate populations in Atlanta ...

Link and Effect Model for Maintenance of Railway Infrastructure [Elektronisk resurs]
, 2013 Railways are large linear assets of electrical and mechanical systems, and consequently the infrastructure managers (IMs) are extensive with many stakeholder involved. The railway infrastructure and the IMs consist of technical and organisational levels:

Dimensioning windows for railway infrastructure maintenance: Cost efficiency versus traffic impact
, 2016 The Swedish Transport Administration is introducing a new regime, called maintenance windows, for allocating train free slots reserved for maintenance tasks on the railway infrastructure.

Do Product Market Reforms Work? Assessing Regulatory Changes Impacting Competition
Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We create a new dataset that characterizes studies of product market reforms implemented from 1932 to 2011. We examine the size and origins of differences in estimated impacts based on an OECD classification scheme for potentially competitive restrictions of regulation. The median impact from switching to a pro‐competitive environment is a 19%

Transport Infrastructure, Spatial General Equilibrium and Welfare [PDF]
Large-scale investments in transport infrastructure have been traditionally evaluated assuming the equivalence between direct and indirect economic effects (Jara-Diaz,1986), which is only correct under -generally non-guaranteed- perfect competition ...
