Electrification and digitalization effects on sectoral energy demand and consumption: A prospective study towards 2050

François Maréchal, Fabian Heymann, Xiang Li

Energy transition is blurring the boundaries between the demand and supply sides with growing participation of prosumer resources. The intensifying pace of electrification and digitalization during the past decade tends to continue, leading to potential te ...

China’s extended urbanization driven by the 'consumption city' in the context of financialized ecological civilization

Florence Graezer Bideau, Thierry Marcel Theurillat

This article seeks to address current debates on ongoing China’s urban development and makes a theoretical proposal that links financialization and ecological civilization through the perspective of the increasing role of consumption in today’s transition ...

More from Less? Environmental Rebound Effects of City Size

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, João Vitor Meirelles de Miranda

Global sustainability relies on our capacity of understanding and guiding urban systems and their metabolism adequately. It has been proposed that bigger and denser cities are more resource-efficient than smaller ones because they tend to demand less infra ...

Efficient Bootstrapping for Approximate Homomorphic Encryption with Non-sparse Keys

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Juan Ramón Troncoso-Pastoriza, Jean-Philippe Léonard Bossuat, Christian Vincent Mouchet

We present a bootstrapping procedure for the full-RNS variant of the approximate homomorphic-encryption scheme of Cheon et al., CKKS (Asiacrypt 17, SAC 18). Compared to the previously proposed procedures (Eurocrypt 18 & 19, CT-RSA 20), our bootstrapping pr ...

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: ...

Do energy performance certificates allow reliable predictions of actual energy consumption and savings? Learning from the Swiss national database

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Stefano Cozza, Arno Schlueter

The thermal performance gap in buildings is defined as the difference between the theoretical and the actual energy consumption for heating, and is known to undermine energy retrofit strategies and policies. This study examines the performance gap in retro ...

The needle model: A new model for the main hydration peak of alite

Karen Scrivener, Alexandre Reda Constantin William Caleb Ouzia

This article presents a new model for the main hydration peaks of tricalcium silicate and alite on the assumption that C-S-H nucleates and grows as needles. The model relies only on directly observable quantities and reproduces the transition from the acce ...

Oxygen consumption in seasonally stratified lakes decreases only below a marginal phosphorus threshold

Alfred Johny Wüest, Robert Vincent Schwefel

Areal oxygen (O-2) consumption in deeper layers of stratified lakes and reservoirs depends on the amount of settling organic matter. As phosphorus (P) limits primary production in most lakes, protective and remediation efforts often seek to reduce P input. ...

A Holistic Methodology for Optimizing Industrial Resource Efficiency

François Maréchal, Adriano Viana Ensinas, Ivan Daniel Kantor, Julia Granacher, Maziar Kermani, Anna Sophia Wallerand

Efficient consumption of energy and material resources, including water, is the primary focus for process industries to reduce their environmental impact. The Conference of Parties in Paris (COP21) highlighted the prominent role of industrial energy effici ...

Different approaches to improve energy consumption of battery electric buses

Francesco Baldi

Transportation electrification is increasing and recently more focus has been directed on heavy vehicles and especially on city buses. Battery electric buses are inherently more energy efficient than diesel buses and the efficiency can be further increased ...

Expectations-driven cycles in the housing market

Luisa Lambertini

This paper explores the transmission of "news shocks" in a model of the housing market and shows that anticipated signals or beliefs of future macroeconomic developments can generate boom-bust cycles in the housing market and lead to business cycle fluctua ...

Consommations énergétiques et cadres de vie : analyses en termes de modes de vie

Lorris Tabbone

The detailed analysis of energy consumption requires a global approach to behaviour and individual action registers. This makes it possible to investigate the question between the different spheres of activity of people, from housing to habitat and from ha ...

Achieving the Dispatchability of Distribution Feeders Through Prosumers Data Driven Forecasting and Model Predictive Control of Electrochemical Storage

Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Emil Namor

We propose and experimentally validate a process to dispatch the operation of a distribution feeder with heterogeneous prosumers according to a trajectory with 5 min resolution, called dispatch plan, established the day before the operation. The controllab ...

Demand Side Management for Enhanced Integration of Photovoltaics into Grid

Christophe Ballif, Yannick Samuel Riesen, Raffael Fabian Tschui, Christophe Germain Boillat

Demand side management could be a very effective way to shift electric consumption of households to the maximum production hours of photovoltaic (PV) systems. A field study on more than 100 households were performed to evaluate the share of electric consum ...

Portfolio and welfare consequences of debt market dominance

Serhiy Stepanchuk

The ability to issue debt that pays in units of the domestic good leads a country to accumulate a large and negative net foreign asset position while maintaining a positive position in equity. This debt market advantage also helps to explain the weak relat ...

Essays in Dynamic Corporate Finance

Francesca Maria Zucchi

This thesis examines the effects of financing frictions on corporate decisions using dynamic models. Accounting for financing frictions helps reconcile a number of regularities that are hard to explain within the Modigliani-Miller framework. For instance, ...
