The importance of considering regimes in long‐term asset allocation to real estate
Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.Abstract We investigate the long‐term, regime‐dependent asset allocation of an investor's wealth in a mixed‐asset portfolio that includes publicly traded real estate. We show that augmenting standard VAR models with Markov‐switching features not only improves predictive power for asset returns but also introduces economically meaningful horizon effects

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Optimal allocation of resources to the management of biosecurity risk, threatened species conservation or natural hazards such as bushfires is imperative—because program budgets are usually finite and, therefore, constrained. However, effectively dividing resources among management activities to achieve the greatest benefit remains a ...

Jurnal EECCIS (Electrics, Electronics, Communications, Controls, Informatics, Systems)This study proposes an optimization model for determining the placement and sizing of photovoltaic distributed generation (PV-DG) units in electrical distribution systems, accounting for load uncertainty and PV output variability. The model is formulated

Using large language models to analyze political texts through natural language understanding
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract Large language models (LLMs) offer scalable alternatives to human experts when analyzing political texts for meaning, using natural language understanding (NLU). Qualitative NLU methods relying on human experts are severely limited by cost and scalability.

Block scheduling in practice: An optimal decomposition strategy for nonidentical operating rooms
Decision Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract We develop and implement a Master Surgery Schedule for a real‐life hospital, assigning operating room (OR) time to surgical specialties over a multi‐week horizon. Through action research, we identify a critical operational challenge: the issue of split blocks. Split blocks allow two specialties to share an OR on the same day—one in the morning,
