This paper presents the applications of the developed Strategic Investment Model in the Flexible Plug and Play (FPP) project to determine the optimal network investment portfolio. The Model optimises the investment in smart grid technologies such as Quadrature-boosters, DLRs, SVCs, novel protection systems to improve reverse power flow capability as well as traditional network investment in lin...

The returns and risks of investment portfolio in a financial system was investigated by constructing a theoreticalmodel based on the Hestonmodel. After the theoreticalmodel and analysis of portfolio were calculated and analyzed, we find the following: (i) The statistical properties (i.e., the probability distribution, the variance and loss rate of equity portfolio return) between simulation res...

Investment systems are studied using a framework that emphasize their profiles (the cumulative probability distribution on all the possible percentage gains of trades) and their log return functions (the expected average return per trade in logarithmic scale as a function of the investment size in terms of the percentage of the available capital). The efficiency index for an investment system, ...

The analysis of land investment and tenure security usually assumes land scarcity. However, some developing countries have communities with land abundance. This article therefore examines the effects of land abundance for investment and tenure security. The paper develops a formal test of land abundance and estimates a system of three simultaneous equations. The empirical analysis uncovers sign...

the purpose of this article is to investigate a two-echelon supply chain inventory problem consisting of a single-vendor and a single-buyer with controllable lead time and investment for quality improvements. this paper presents an integrated vendor-buyer inventory model in order to minimize the sum of the ordering cost, holding cost, setup cost, investment for quality improvement and crashing ...

A financial decision supporting system based on the fuzzy candlestick pattern is proposed and developed. We model Japanese candlestick patterns by using fuzzy linguistic variables. Japanese candlestick theory is an empirical model of investment decision. The theory assumes that the trend of financial time series could be predicted by identifying specific candlestick patterns in the candlestick ...

With the development of elaborate management, company’s MIS become more complex and integrated. As an investment decision making system, it is not a simple financial problem. It should consider not only the company’s financial index, but also its internal business process, which always links with the technical part of the company’s operation. As an implementation example, this paper focuses on ...

The thesis of this chapter is that evolutionary theory can make a major contribution to conceptualizing children's internalization of values. The paper is broadly divided into four sections: The first section develops an evolutionary framework in which internalization is a facet of high-investment parenting and is expected to co-vary with a number of other life history variables, including age ...

There are many characteristics in hightechnology project investment, such as needing a lot of capital, having so many unsure factors and so on. There are full of risks in the investment process. Some corporations were disastrous in investment because of ignoring the risk evaluation or using the inapposite valuation methods. So it is necessary to use a scientific evaluation method in the investm...

This paper proposes a method for examining the causal relationship among investment in information technology (IT) and the organization's productivity. In this method, first a strong relationship among (1) investment in IT, (2) use of IT and (3) organization's productivity is verified using correlations. Second, the assumption that IT investment preceded improved productivity is tested using pa...
