However, there are always concerns about negative data and uncertainty in financial markets. Since the classical DEA models cannot deal with negative and imprecise values, i...

The Green Value tool was developed in response to the need for simplified procedures that could be used in the field to conduct financial analysis for community-based forest enterprises (CFEs).

In a recent paper, Guillemoles et al. attempt to clarify and explain the often cited paper by Shockley Queisser2 (SQ), which defines limits photovoltaic conversion single-junction solar cell. The SQ is not easy read therefore easily misunderstood. As modern cells approach theoretical efficiency limits, fundamentals become particularly important effort be welcomed. However, in doing so, authors ...
