چکیده
In this study, an analysis of energy and exergy utilization in the utility sector of Jordan by considering the sectoral energy and exergy flows for the years 2007-2011 has been conducted based on real data obtained from main generators in Jordan. The overall energy and exergy efficiencies, for the entire utility sector, are found to be in the range of 35.1 to 38.1%. It is expected that the results of this study will be helpful in developing highly applicable and productive planning for future energy policies, especially for the power sector.

متن کاملRisk premiums and certainty equivalents of loss-averse newsvendors of bounded utility
Loss-averse behavior makes the newsvendors avoid the losses more than seeking the probable gains as the losses have more psychological impact on the newsvendor than the gains. In economics and decision theory, the classical newsvendor models treat losses and gains equally likely, by disregarding the expected utility when the newsvendor is loss-averse. Moreover, the use of unbounded utility to m...
