Balancing Exploration and Exploitation Through a Sequential Hybrid of Roach Infestation and Mayfly Algorithms for Constrained Engineering Design Optimization

open access: yesAI &Innovation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maintaining an effective balance between exploration and exploitation is essential during optimization processes, from mathematical functions to more complex problems such as constrained engineering design optimization, particularly when addressing highly nonlinear issues with numerous local optima and strict feasibility requirements.

Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

Causal analysis of trade loss from pathogens: A global study of foot and mouth disease impacts on meat exports

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Our general interest is in global trade loss from livestock pathogens, specifically exports. We adopt a causal inference approach that considers animal disease outbreaks over time as non‐staggered binary treatments with the potential for switching in (infection) and out of treatment (recovery) within the sample period. The outcome evolution of

The Scandinavian Journal of Economics, 1995
Outsiders to economics might be forgiven for thinking that welfare economics provides the theoretical underpinnings for the welfare state. But although the language is suggestive, the link between theoretical welfare economics and policy recommendations concerning the role of the public sector, the optimal degree of redistribution and social insurance,

Regulation, Advertising, and Economic Welfare

The Journal of Business, 1991
A standard portrayal of traditional rate-of-return regulation holds that output price is set equal to long-run average cost.1 Under natural monopoly conditions, such regulation results in a price that exceeds long-run marginal cost and is, therefore, allocatively inefficient.2 Specifically, where the This article explores how the standard analysis of ...
