Using computational fluid dynamics and field experiments to improve vehicle-based wind measurements for environmental monitoring [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2020 Vehicle-based measurements of wind speed and direction are presently used for a range of applications, including gas plume detection. Many applications use mobile wind measurements without knowledge of the limitations and accuracy of the mobile ...

Political Risk, Economic Risk, and Financial Risk [PDF]
Financial Analysts Journal, 1996 How important is an understanding of country risk for investors? Given the increasingly global nature of investment portfolios, we believe it is very important. Our paper measures the economic content of five different measures of country risk: The International Country Risk Guide is political risk, the financial risk, economic risk and composite risk ...

Science, 2005 When society makes a decision about some action (to build a dam or approve a new drug, for example), its choice is usually based on a comparison of risks and benefits. If the latter exceed the former, assuming that risks and benefits accrue to the same person or group, the project goes forward ...

To Risk or Not to Risk? Risk Management and Farm Productivity [PDF]
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 2019 AbstractThe impact of risk management on farm productivity is still being debated. Using survey data from French and Hungarian farms, we estimate the impacts of different risk management strategies and portfolios under varying levels of risk on total factor productivity.
