Based on the observed behavior of monetary aggregates and exchange rates, we classify inflation-stabilization episodes into two categories: de facto exchange rate-based stabilizations (ERBS) and non-ERBS. Unlike the standard de jure ERBS studied in the literature, de facto ERBS encompass cases...

The combination of low-carbon electricity and electric vehicles brings considerable economic and environmental benefits but also introduces challenges due to the complexity and uncertainty of system synergies in smart cities. To take full advantage of photovoltaic power generation and release...

In recent years, distributionally robust optimization (DRO) has become a widely used approach to address the uncertainties that are inherent in many operations management (OM) problems. Meanwhile, different from the cost-driven DRO approach which focuses on minimizing the worst-case risk-aware...

The lateral broadband fracturing (LBF) technique for vertical well in tight oil reservoir has been proven to provide much larger stimulated reservoir-volume (SRV) by widening its width. Although this new fracturing technique has been successfully applied to the development of tight oil...
