in this paper, we analyze the effect of lack of capital investment on energy projects using game theory in the guise of cooperative games. we focus on the energy projects in the provincial level as case study during 2010-2011. therefore, we design a theoretical model of the lack of capital investment as a factor influencing the implement of energy projects. in the experimental section, we deter...

Within a two-sector-two-country model of trade with aggregate scale economies and unionisation, a move to a more generous welfare state in one country increases welfare in that country and can have positive spill-over effects on the other. Furthermore, synchronised expansions of social security are more welfare enhancing than unilateral ones. Our results counter the fears that a race to the bot...

My hypothesis is that, controlling for other relevant social, political and economic factors, communities with higher levels of social capital should experience more robust organizational and financial growth, and less failure, in their for-profit and nonprofit sectors. I test...

The optimal strategy and the implied costs of a stringent climate protection objective are uncertain and potentially large. The uncertainties arise from the growth and flexibility of energy demand and of low carbon energy supply. Carbon capture and sequestration is an option to reduce the economic costs of ambitious climate protection strategies, when energy demand and supply turns out to be in...
