This paper introduces business model life cycle assessment (BM-LCA), a new method for quantifying the environmental impacts of models. Such is needed to guide decisions towards decoupling economic activity from impact. BM-LCA takes itself as unit analysis and its performance basis comparison. It can be applied any type involving material or resource use. In BM-LCA, monetary flows are coupled en...

In this paper, we empirically investigate the relationship between oil price changes and output in a group of oil exporting countries. The dynamics of business cycles in Libya, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Kuwait, Venezuela and Qatar are modeled by alternative regime switching models. We show that the extension of uni-variate Markov Switching model in order to include oil revenue improves dating busi...
