Technological progress in energy efficiency is generally considered as an effective measure to address climate change issues. However, the expected results of such might be impacted by rebound effect. Employing linear approximation Almost Ideal Demand System (LA-AIDS) model, this paper aims direct effect residential buildings, considering differences for buildings between urban and rural China ...

Nonlinear problems are more challenging and almost complex to be solved. A recently developed Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) is introduced. This method is used to represent the system as a less complicated (almost linear) model. To verify the effectiveness, HPM based model is compared with the nonlinear dynamic in both open and closed loop PI controlled. The error indices are approximation ...

A Bayesian method of estimating multivariate sample selection models is introduced and applied to the estimation of a demand system for food in the UK to account for censoring arising from infrequency of purchase. We show how it is possible to impose identifying restrictions on the sample selection equations and that, unlike a maximum likelihood framework, the imposition of adding up at both la...
