The adoption of a photovoltaic system has positive environmental effects, but the main driver of the choice in the industrial and commercial sector is economic profitability. Switching from acquisition of energy to production of energy is an investment with costs (e.g. leasing annual payment,...

This article presents a method for valuing software based on the income that use of that software is expected to generate in the future. Well-known principles of intellectual property (IP) valuation, sales expectations, discounting to present value, and the like, are applied, always focusing on...

In this work we illustrate a simple logical framework serving the purpose of measuring value creation in a real-life solar photovoltaic project, funded with a lease contract, a loan contract and internal financing (i.e., withdrawal from liquid assets). We use the projected accounting data to...

In der vorliegenden Dissertation wird der Rückkauf eigener Anteile vor dem Hintergrund der Informations- und Anreizkonflikte in den Beziehungen zwischen den Eigenkapitalgebern, den Fremdkapitalgebern sowie dem Management eines Unternehmens diskutiert. Um die Richtung der Anreiz- und...

This paper proposes a new approach to numerically solving a wide class of heterogeneous agent models in continuous time using adaptive sparse grids. I combine the sparse finite difference method with the sparse finite volume method to solve the Hamilton-Jacobian-Bellman equation and Kolmogorov...

We propose a portfolio construction method that accounts for the regime-dependent behavior of stocks, thereby impacting their expected returns. Using a hidden Markov model (HMM) and a regime-weighted least-squares approach, we estimate forward-looking regime-conditional factors. These factors...

Oracle Human Resources (Oracle HRMS) represents a strong set of applications for the optimization of the human capital an organization disposes of. In the new economy, based on the Internet, the optimum usage of work force is one of the imperatives in e-business. In order to successfully meet...

In the central point of the change management is situated the problem of the change, which is the study we are going to reach to in the future, leaving from the actual state and the structured and organized process, that will allow us the transition from a stage to another. The professional...

We propose a scenario for computing the real gross domestic product in a macroeconomic framework. The scenario is designed upon simple assumptions while ensuring basic algebraic relationships between the four usual macroeconomic accounts.

We simulate a spatial behavioral model of the diffusion of an infection to understand the role of geographical characteristics: the number and distribution of outbreaks, population size, density, and agents' movements. We show that several invariance properties of the SIR model with respect to...
