The energy transition potentially poses an existential risk for major international oil companies (IOCs) if they fail to adapt to low-carbon business models. Projections of energy futures, however, are met with diverging assumptions on its scale and pace, causing disagreement among IOC...

In this paper, we assess the effects of contingent convertible bonds (CoCos) in terms of stability of the banking sector and the economy as a whole. The analysis builds upon a stock-flow consistent agent-based model. The paper argues that the bail-ins that result from the activation of CoCos in...

Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) is an alternative method to transport natural gas (NG), more versatile than pipeline gas, and helps increasing the availability, affordability and use of NG compared to carbon-intensive coal and oil. In the LNG market, various expansions projects have been planned and...

Manufacturing companies face tough challenges in leveling their capacity load due to unsteady market conditions, like fluctuating demand. This induces frequent re-scheduling in order to harmonize the capacity utilization of machine tools to meet customer requirements in terms of delivery time,...

The food supply chain has experienced major disruptions from both demand and supply sides during the Covid-19 pandemic. While some consequences such as food waste are directly caused by the disruption due to supply chain inefficiency, others are indirectly caused by a change in consumer’s...

In this paper we study the effect of different types of technological regime changes on the evolution of industry concentration and wage inequality. Using a calibrated agent-based macroeconomic framework, the Eurace@Unibi model, we consider scenarios where the new regime is characterized by more...

This part of article is dedicated to testing and analysis of the modeling and simulation results of career development processes. The simulation algorithm with some experimental data related to agent individual behavior characteristics, which was presented in the previous parts of this article...

Distributed computing is a very common term in the field of computer science and also a very general computing paradigm which is being used by almost all the scientific and industrial computing applications. All the information technology applications have based upon the use of the distributed...
