A Ricardian Analysis Of The Impact Of Climate Change On European Agriculture, Steven Van Passel, Emanuele Massetti, Robert Mendelsohn
A Ricardian Analysis Of The Impact Of Climate Change On European Agriculture, Steven Van Passel, Emanuele Massetti, Robert Mendelsohn
Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers
This research estimates the impact of climate on European agriculture using a continental scale Ricardian analysis. Data on climate, soil, geography and regional socio-economic characteristics were matched for 37 612 individual farms across the EU-15. Farmland values across Europe are sensitive to climate. Even with the adaptation captured by the Ricardian technique, farms in Southern Europe are predicted to suffer sizeable losses (8% -13% per degree Celsius) from warming. In contrast, agriculture in the rest of Europe is likely to see only mixed impacts. Increases (decreases) in rain will increase (decrease) average farm values by 3% per centiliter of precipitation. …

A Simplified Onsite Image-Registration Approach For Radiosurgery By Partial Ct, Wupeng Yin
A Simplified Onsite Image-Registration Approach For Radiosurgery By Partial Ct, Wupeng Yin
Open Access Theses
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a kind of method of radiation therapy that uses three-dimensional computerized imaging to precisely guide a high-powered X-ray beam to deliver a concentrated dose of radiation to the abnormal area of the body. This therapy can efficiently and successfully treat many different types of tumors, either benign or malignant. Commonly used radiosurgery treatments are applied by CyberKnife or Gamma Knife through Stereotactic mechanism. Stereotactic radiosurgery can be assisted by two and three dimensional imaging during a course of radiation treatment. This is usually called Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), which utilizes the imaging coordinates to direct radiation …
Temporal Fluctuations Of The Sound Speed Field And How They Affect Acoustic Mode Structures And Coherence, Felipe Messias G. Lourenco
Temporal Fluctuations Of The Sound Speed Field And How They Affect Acoustic Mode Structures And Coherence, Felipe Messias G. Lourenco
Open Access Theses
In an idealized shallow water propagation channel with smooth boundaries and range independent sound speed profiles, normal modes can accurately describe the entire sound field which can be predicted using normal mode models. We also know that fluctuations in the sound field can be caused by fluctuations in the sound speed profile or by source/receiver motion. These phenomena are deterministic and can be simulated by changes in the mode shape or by a combination of the motion of modes past the receiver. If the fluctuations are small then small changes will occur in mode shape or in the mode positions, …
The Importance Of The Rare: The Role Of Background Symbiodinium In The Response Of Reef Corals To Environmental Change, Rachel N. Silverstein
The Importance Of The Rare: The Role Of Background Symbiodinium In The Response Of Reef Corals To Environmental Change, Rachel N. Silverstein
Open Access Dissertations
Reef ecosystems throughout much of the tropics are predicted to decline in coral cover and diversity as a result of ongoing climate change (ocean acidification, temperature increases, sea level rise), disease, pollution, and overfishing. Corals may be able to respond to some of these stressors by associating with diverse algal symbionts (Symbiodinium spp.) which vary in their physiological traits and therefore expand corals’ realized niche space. This dissertation used high-sensitivity molecular techniques to investigate the presence and functional role of "background" or "rare" Symbiodinium, which occur at low abundance, and therefore may not be detected using standard molecular methods. First, …

Mechanisms Of Nmnat/Wlds Mediated Axon Protection, Brandon M. Kitay
Open Access Dissertations
Neurodegeneration is a hallmark of several inherited and acquired diseases of the nervous system. Though great attention in the past has been given to understanding and mitigating neuron loss in these diseases, efforts at targeting neuron cell body death pathways have yielded modest success in preventing or delaying disease onset. Often preceding neuronal death, axon degeneration is a common pathological feature of many neurodegenerative processes, and may therefore provide a therapeutic target upstream of neuronal loss. Though formerly believed to be a passive process, recent observations concerning the destruction of distal axons following transection, referred to as “Wallerian degeneration” (WD), …
Predictors Of Hiv/Aids Related Stigma And Discrimination Among Anglophone Caribbean Women, Kimberly A. Hires
Predictors Of Hiv/Aids Related Stigma And Discrimination Among Anglophone Caribbean Women, Kimberly A. Hires
Open Access Dissertations
The effects of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) global epidemic continue to emerge decades after teh first wave of infection. One key aspect of the HIV epidemic that is significantly impacted by culture and knowledge of HIV transmission is stigma, specifically HIV/AIDS related stigma and discrimination (HASD). The Caribbean region has the second highest HIV prevalence rate in the world. In 2011, there were approximately 13,000 new infections and 10,000 AIDS related deaths among adults and children in the Caribbean. Three Anglophone nations significantly impacted by the HIV epidemic are Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica. HASD has been identified …

Domestic Politics And The Formation Of International Environmental Agreements, Simon Dietz, Carmen Marchiori, Alessandro Tavoni
Domestic Politics And The Formation Of International Environmental Agreements, Simon Dietz, Carmen Marchiori, Alessandro Tavoni
Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers
The theory of international environmental agreements overwhelmingly assumes that governments engage as unitary agents. Each government makes choices based on benefits and costs that are simple national aggregates, and similarly on a single set of national-level motivations, together drawing a strong analogy with the behaviour of an individual or firm in other strategic contexts. In reality, however, various domestic special interests shape environmental policy, including how national governments cooperate on cross-border issues. Therefore in this paper we introduce to a classic model of international environmental cooperation the phenomenon of domestic political competition, whereby lobby groups seek to influence policy by …
Time Overruns As Opportunistic Behavior In Public Procurement, Chiara D’Alpaos, Michele Moretto, Paola Valbonesi, Sergio Vergalli
Time Overruns As Opportunistic Behavior In Public Procurement, Chiara D’Alpaos, Michele Moretto, Paola Valbonesi, Sergio Vergalli
Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers
This paper considers the supplier’s strategic delivery lead time in a public procurement setting as the result of the firm’s opportunistic behaviour on the optimal investment timing. In the presence of uncertainty on construction costs, we model the supplier’s option to defer the contract’s execution as a Put Option. We include in the model both the discretion of the court of law in enforcing contractual clauses (i.e. a penalty for delays) and the "quality" of the judicial system. Then, we calibrate the model using parameters that mimic the Italian procurement for public works and calculate the maximum amount that a …
Civic Capital And The Size Distribution Of Plants: Short-Run Dynamics And Long-Run Equilibrium, Matthias Bürker, G. Alfredo Minerva
Civic Capital And The Size Distribution Of Plants: Short-Run Dynamics And Long-Run Equilibrium, Matthias Bürker, G. Alfredo Minerva
Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers
We characterize how the size distribution of plants, within narrowly defined industries, changed in Italy over a ten-year time span, and relate this to the stock of civic capital at the provincial level. Data on plant size come from the 1991 and 2001 Italian censuses. Civic capital turns out to have a positive effect on both the average and standard deviation of size. Looking at several precise points of the plant size distribution, we find that it shifts toward the right and becomes more dispersed where civic capital is high. The potential endogeneity of current civic capital is addressed by …
Redistribution Effects Of Energy And Climate Policy: The Electricity Market, Lion Hirth, Falko Ueckerdt
Redistribution Effects Of Energy And Climate Policy: The Electricity Market, Lion Hirth, Falko Ueckerdt
Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers
Energy and climate policies are usually seen as measures to internalize externalities. However, as a side effect, these policies redistribute wealth between consumers and producers, and within these groups. While redistribution is seldom the focus of the academic literature in energy economics, it plays a central role in real world policy debates. This paper compares the redistribution effects of two major electricity policies: support schemes for renewable energy sources, and CO2 pricing. We find that the redistribution effects of both policies are large, and they work in opposed directions: while renewables support transfers wealth from producers to consumers, carbon pricing …
Profit, Productivity And Price Performance Changes In The English And Welsh Water And Sewerage Companies, Alexandros Maziotis, David S. Saal, Emmanuel Thanassoulis
Profit, Productivity And Price Performance Changes In The English And Welsh Water And Sewerage Companies, Alexandros Maziotis, David S. Saal, Emmanuel Thanassoulis
Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers
The purpose of this paper is to assess the impact of regulation in the financial performance of the Water and Sewerage companies (WaSCs) in England and Wales. We apply a panel index approach across WaSCs over time to decompose unit-specific (temporal) index number based profitability growth as a function of the profitability, productivity and price performance growth achieved by benchmark firms, and the catch-up to the benchmark firm achieved by less productive firms. The results indicated that the steady decline in average price performance, gains in productivity and relatively stable economic profitability after 2000, suggest that Ofwat is now more …
Output Quality And Sources Of Profit Change In The English And Welsh Water And Sewerage Companies, Alexandros Maziotis, David S. Saal, Emmanuel Thanassoulis
Output Quality And Sources Of Profit Change In The English And Welsh Water And Sewerage Companies, Alexandros Maziotis, David S. Saal, Emmanuel Thanassoulis
Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers
This paper investigates the determinants of profit change over the period 1991-2008 for the Water and Sewerage Companies (WaSCs) in the English and Welsh water and sewerage industry. We firstly apply an input oriented profit decomposition approach following the approach of De Witte & Saal (2010). Then, we make allowances for differences in the quality of output, by decomposing the output effect into high quality and low quality output effect. We decompose profit changes into various factors such as quantity and price effect, technical change, efficiency change, resource mix, product mix and scale effect, without and after controlling for quality. …
A Regionalized National Universal Kriging Model Using Partial Least Squares Regression For Estimating Annual Pm2.5 Concentrations In Epidemiology, Paul D. Sampson, Mark Richards, Adam A. Szpiro, Silas Bergen, Lianne Sheppard, Timothy V. Larson, Joel Kaufman
A Regionalized National Universal Kriging Model Using Partial Least Squares Regression For Estimating Annual Pm2.5 Concentrations In Epidemiology, Paul D. Sampson, Mark Richards, Adam A. Szpiro, Silas Bergen, Lianne Sheppard, Timothy V. Larson, Joel Kaufman
UW Biostatistics Working Paper Series
Many cohort studies in environmental epidemiology require accurate modeling and prediction of fine scale spatial variation in ambient air quality across the U.S. This modeling requires the use of small spatial scale geographic or “land use” regression covariates and some degree of spatial smoothing. Furthermore, the details of the prediction of air quality by land use regression and the spatial variation in ambient air quality not explained by this regression should be allowed to vary across the continent due to the large scale heterogeneity in topography, climate, and sources of air pollution. This paper introduces a regionalized national universal kriging …

The Socialite Library, Katy Kelly
Roesch Library Faculty Presentations
Feel like you’re using social media on behalf of your library “just because” and to an unresponsive audience? Think of a great party host. They plan the party and provide a welcoming space. Maybe they even incentivize you to attend and participate. Great hosts also take the time to check how their guests are doing, respond to needs and complaints, and adjust the party to accommodate future attendees. Learn how one library revamped its social media by thinking like a socialite party host. Katy Kelly, Communications and Outreach Librarian at University of Dayton, Dayton, Ohio, will describe her use of …

Corporate Social Responsibility And Firms’ Performance: A Stratigraphical Analysis, Nicola Comincioli, Laura Poddi, Sergio Vergalli
Corporate Social Responsibility And Firms’ Performance: A Stratigraphical Analysis, Nicola Comincioli, Laura Poddi, Sergio Vergalli
Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers
Over the last two decades in OECD countries an increasing number of firms are obtaining certification as Socially Responsible (CSR is the acronym for Corporate Social Responsibility). Several studies (including Preston and O’Bannon, 1997; Waddock and Graves, 1997; McWilliams and Sieger, 2001; Ullman, 1985) have sought to test whether there is a relation between Social Responsibility certification and the firms’ performance. Our work builds a CSR index that intersects two of the three main international indices (Domini 400 Social Index, Dow Jones Sustainability World Index, FTSE4Good Index), in order to overcome some problems related to the multiplicity of CSR definitions …
The Carousel Value-Added Tax Fraud In The European Emission Trading System, Maria Berrittella, Filippo Alessandro Cimino
The Carousel Value-Added Tax Fraud In The European Emission Trading System, Maria Berrittella, Filippo Alessandro Cimino
Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers
In this article, we analyse the effects of the carousel value-added tax fraud in the European carbon market and the legislative measures that the EU Member States could adopt to deal with this phenomena. We use a computable general equilibrium model, called GTAP-E and the version 6 of the GTAP database to evaluate the economy-wide and terms of trade effects. The policy test has been designed for five European countries: Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and the United Kingdom. According to our findings, the legislative measures aimed to remove the VAT fraud in the European Emission Trading System will have …
Competitiveness And Leakage Concerns And Border Carbon Adjustments, Zhongxiang Zhang
Competitiveness And Leakage Concerns And Border Carbon Adjustments, Zhongxiang Zhang
Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers
This paper provides a review of the literature on competitiveness and leakage concerns associated with differentiated climate abatement commitments among countries. The literature reviewed is not exhausted, but it is sufficient to provide a balanced view of both academics and policy circles. Section 2 discusses how to identify the sectors at a risk of carbon leakage. Section 3 examines ex ante estimates of potential carbon leakage rates, and explains why they differ from ex post results of environmental tax reforms and greenhouse gas emissions trading schemes that have been implemented in the European Union. Section 4 discusses broad policy options …

Ets And Technological Innovation: A Random Matching Model, Angelo Antoci, Simone Borghesi, Mauro Sodini
Ets And Technological Innovation: A Random Matching Model, Angelo Antoci, Simone Borghesi, Mauro Sodini
Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers
The present paper investigates the functioning of an Emission Trading System (ETS) and its impact on the diffusion of environmental-friendly technological innovation in the presence of firms’ strategic behaviours and sanctions to non-compliant firms. For this purpose, we study an evolutionary game model with random matching, namely, a context in which a population of firms interact through pairwise random matchings. We assume that each firm has to decide whether to adopt a new clean technology or keep on using the old technology that requires pollution permits to operate and that the strategy whose expected payoff is greater than the average …

Are All High-Skilled Cohorts Created Equal? Unemployment, Gender, And Research Productivity, John P. Conley, Ali Sina Önder, Benno Torgler
Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers
Using life cycle publication data of 9,368 economics PhD graduates from 127 U.S. institutions, we investigate how unemployment in the U.S. economy prior to starting graduate studies and at the time of entry into the academic job market affect economics PhD graduates’ research productivity. We analyze the period between 1987 and 1996 and find that favorable conditions at the time of academic job search have a positive effect on research productivity (measured in numbers of publications) for both male and female graduates. On the other hand, unfavourable employment conditions at the time of entry into graduate school affects female research …

A Guide To Documenting Software Design For Maximum Software Portability For Software Defined Radios, Joseph Snively
A Guide To Documenting Software Design For Maximum Software Portability For Software Defined Radios, Joseph Snively
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
The use of software defined communications systems is growing incredibly fast. The field of software engineering as a discipline has not adequately addressed the subject of software portability which makes large and costly software development efforts less ready to port to future platforms. By understanding the causes of portability problems, they can either be avoided altogether in development or very well documented so that they are easier to overcome in future efforts. Literature, case studies, and surveys are used to collect opinions and information about large software programs where portability is a desirable characteristic in order to best establish the …
