Incremental financial analysis of black liquor upgraded gasification in integrated kraft pulp and ammonia production plants under uncertainty of feedstock costs and carbon taxes

François Maréchal, Meire Ellen Gorete Ribeiro Domingos

In this work, the conventional scenario of the black liquor (BL) concentration and combustion is compared with the BL upgrading gasification process for ammonia production. The chemical processes synthesis, modeling and simulation are performed by using As ...

Making the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism Acceptable and Climate Friendly for Least Developed Countries

Marc Vielle, Sigit Pria Perdana

Implementation of CBAM to support EU climate neutrality by 2050 has raised several concerns. As the mechanism aims to minimise leakage through equal fairness in global mitigation, imposing carbon tariffs on the EU's imports of energy- intensive goods could ...

Optimization and equilibrium problems with discrete choice models

Stefano Bortolomiol

Many transportation markets are characterized by oligopolistic competition. In these markets customers, suppliers and regulators make decisions that are influenced by the preferences and the decisions of all other agents. In particular, capturing and under ...

A two-step decision model on energy retrofitting buildings

Philippe Thalmann, Marc Vielle, Sergey Arzoyan

In standard modelling of energy and climate policies, the speed and extent of energy efficiency improvements (EEIs) are usually assumed to be unaffected, even by policies designed to foster innovation. We model endogenous EEI in a model of the Swiss housin ...

Managing inventory with proportional transaction costs

Semyon Malamud

We solve the problem of optimal inventory management for a CARA market-maker who faces proportional transaction costs and marking to market. Our model accommodates inventory shocks following an arbitrary compound Poisson process. We show that the no-tradin ...

Lifetime investment and consumption with recursive preferences and small transaction costs

Yaroslav Melnyk, Johannes Muhle-Karbe

We investigate the effects of small proportional transaction costs on lifetime consumption and portfolio choice. The extant literature has focused on agents with additive utilities. Here, we extend this analysis to the archetype of nonadditive preferences: ...

Area-based equitable pricing strategies for multimodal urban networks with heterogeneous users

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Nan Zheng

Equity issues among travellers are critical in congestion pricing. Failure to treat equity can lead to low acceptability towards pricing. In this paper, we develop congestion pricing schemes to improve both equity and traffic performance, for multimodal ne ...

Navigating various flexibility mechanisms under European burden-sharing

Marc Vielle

In July 2016, the European Commission presented its proposal for a regulation to reduce greenhouse gases emissions in sectors not covered by the emissions trading system with regard to post-2020 binding targets. The proposal extends the burden-sharing fram ...

Socio-economic determinants of sprawl: causes and consequences of urban growth in Swiss municipalities

Barbara Franziska Weilenmann

In Switzerland, as elsewhere, over the past decades, urban areas have spread outwards â consuming the surrounding countryside in the process. The result has been an urban growth associated with negative effects such as the loss of cultivated land. Sprawl ...

Green taxes in a post-Paris world: are millions of nays inevitable?

Philippe Thalmann, Andrea Baranzini

Turning greenhouse gas emissions pledges into domestic policies is the next challenge for governments. We address the question of the acceptability of cost-effective climate policy in a real-voting setting. First, we analyze voting behavior in a large ball ...
