With the rapid development of EVs (electric vehicles), the integration of PV (photovoltaic) generation with EV charging infrastructure can effectively improve the efficiency of clean energy utilization and carbon emission reduction. How to optimize the capacities of components in the PV-based...

Short-term load forecasting is an important part in the energy management of micro-grid. The forecasting errors directly affect the economic efficiency of operation. Compared to larger-scale power grid, micro-grid is more difficult to realize the short-term load forecasting for its smaller...

Since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, repeated airport closures due to security breaches have imposed substantial costs on travelers, airlines, and government agencies in terms of flight delays and cancellations. Using data from the year following September 11, this study examines how...

Economists have long suggested overhauling the existing U.S. airport landing/departure fees to reflect market valuations of scarce runway capacity. Economists, however, do not agree on the optimal congestion-based pricing scheme. While some researchers advocate for a uniform congestion fee...

This study develops theory and conducts an experiment to provide an understanding of why people initially give to charities, why they remain committed to the cause, and what factors attenuate these influences. Using an experimental design that links donations across distinct treatments separated...

While researchers have extensively documented the equity response to product recalls and subsequent shareholder losses, less attention in the literature has been given to examining the damaging recall attributes. Using 1973--1998 automotive safety recall data, this study identifies the kinds of...

This study develops theory and conducts an experiment to provide an understanding of why people initially give to charities, why they remain committed to the cause, and what factors attenuate these influences. Using an experimental design that links donations across distinct treatments separated...

This study develops theory and uses a door-to-door fundraising field experiment to explore the economics of charity. We approached nearly 5000 households, randomly divided into four experimental treatments, to shed light on key issues on the demand side of charitable fundraising. Empirical...
