Abstract

The new competitive electricity markets make it imperative for companies related to electricity production and retail to have tools in place for energy offers. Price forecasting is critical when making offers in electricity markets, since it is considerably more complex than demand forecasting and the level of uncertainty is higher. Knowing electricity prices beforehand makes it possible for generators to determine their optimal production strategy in order to maximize their profit. Similarly, consumers and retailers can plan their consumption and produce energy bids to maximize their utility. Therefore, price forecasting is instrumental both for producers, retailers and consumers.

Abstract

"Capitalizing a Cure takes us into the struggle over accessing a medical breakthrough to investigate the power of finance over business, biomedicine, and public health. When sofosbuvir-based medicines launched in 2013, they promised a cure for millions of patients worldwide with hepatitis C. But their sticker shock-the drug was dubbed "the $1,000-a-day pill"-intensified a global debate over the pricing of new medicines. Weaving extensive historical research with insights from political economy and science and technology studies, Victor Roy demystifies an oft-missed dynamic in this debate: the reach of financialized capitalism into how medicines are made, priced, and valued. His account travels between public and private labs, Wall Street and corporate boardrooms, public health meetings and health centers to trace the ways sofosbuvir-based medicines became financial assets dominated by strategies of speculation and extraction at the expense of access and care. Provocative and sobering, this book illuminates the harmful impact of allowing financial markets to supersede democracy and human health and points to the necessary work of building more equitable futures."--

Abstract

Der Einfluss von Dauertiefpreisen bzw. langfristigen Preisänderungen auf das Konsumentenpreiswissen ist in Zeiten vielfältigster Promotionsaktivitäten interessanter denn je. Basierend auf bestehenden Forschungslücken des Behavioral Pricing wurde mit einer longitudinalen Online-Untersuchung jener Zeitpunkt festgestellt, bei welchem der Konsument einen Aktionspreis verinnerlicht und somit als Kurantpreis bewertet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen u.a., dass für das Preiswissen weniger das untersuchte Produkt, als das individuelle Eigeninteresse an Preisen ausschlaggebend ist. Die Arbeit bietet neue Perspektiven und Möglichkeiten für den Handel, Industrieunternehmen (v.a. im FMCG-Bereich), die Marktforschung sowie thematisch nahe Forschungsgebiete (bspw. Retail Revenue Management).

Abstract

This book successfully illustrates the modeling of electricity prices with the help of stochastic processes. The relatively new phenomenon of negative prices is also integrated into the models. The integration of feed-in from wind power plants in energy models is also very innovative. This approach helps to simulate electricity prices in order to take into account the ""merit-order effect of renewable energy"". Finally, the models are used for the techno-economic evaluation of energy storages.

Abstract

À travers une analyse minutieuse du fonctionnement du circuit d’échange du blé et des différents contextes qui servent à l’expliquer, l’auteur montre comment les autorités pontificales du XVIe et du XVIIe siècle bâtissent et gèrent un système commercial spécifique, dont la logique repose sur une conception particulière de l’économie et de la société. La théologie morale des scolastiques, avec l’élaboration de la notion centrale de « juste prix », constitue le cadre théorique fondamental pris en compte pour saisir la rationalité d’institutions qui, comme les Annones d’Ancien Régime, ont été trop vite et trop souvent assimilées à des simples entraves à la libre expression des forces de marché. Le modèle romain d’« économie morale » ici proposé apporte ainsi une contribution au débat général, tant des historiens que des anthropologues, concernant les caractéristiques des économies pré-classiques et les outils analytiques pertinents pour leur interprétation.

Abstract

This book explains how True Cost Accounting is an effective tool we can use to address the pervasive imbalance in our food system. Calls are coming from all quarters that the food system is broken and needs a radical transformation. A system that feeds many yet continues to create both extreme hunger and diet-related diseases, and one which has significant environmental impacts, is not serving the world adequately. This volume argues that True Cost Accounting in our food system can create a framework for a systemic shift. What sounds on the surface like a practice relegated to accountants is ultimately a call for a new lens on the valuation of food and a new relationship with the food we eat, starting with the reform of a system out of balance. From the true cost of corn, rice and water, to incentives for soil health, the chapters economically compare conventional and regenerative, more equitable farming practices in and food system structures, including taking an unflinching look at the true cost of cheap labour. Overall, this volume points towards the potential for our food system to be more human-centred than profit-centred and one that has a more respectful relationship to the planet. It sets forth a path forward based on True Cost Accounting for food. This path seeks to fix our current food metrics, in policy and in practice, by applying a holistic lens that evaluates the actual costs and benefits of different food systems, and the impacts and dependencies between natural systems, human systems, agriculture and food systems. This volume is essential reading for professionals and policymakers involved in developing and reforming the food system, as well as students and scholars working on food policy, food systems and sustainability.
