This paper focuses on the U.S. agricultural trade against the remaining of the world. The dynamic ARDL model of error correction version is applied, not only investigating if there is J-curve effect in the short-run or not, but also taking a deep analysis for U.S. recession effects and exchange...

Federal subsidies for nonprice export promotion of farm products have been criticized on the grounds that they merely substitute taxpayer dollars for private promotional expenditures. This ‘‘displacement hypothesis’’ is tested by estimating export demand and...

Evaluation of regional water resources capacity provides a scientific basis for further water resources utilization and social economic sustainable development. This paper mainly studied on the case of Lanzhou City located in the western China. By using the method of fuzzy comprehensive...

The growing awareness of the strategic value of service along with higher product performance expectations has directed many industries to adopt service centric competitive strategies in managing their supply chains. Service innovation based on currently available advanced technologies has...

Short-term wind speed forecasting is of great importance for wind farm operations and the integration of wind energy into the power grid system. Adaptive and reliable methods and techniques of wind speed forecasts are urgently needed in view of the stochastic nature of wind resource varying from...

Accurate estimation of wind speed distribution is critical to the assessment of wind energy potential, the site selection of wind farms, and the operations management of wind power conversion systems. This paper proposes a new approach for deriving more reliable and robust wind speed...

The fast growth of wind power is in urgent need of more accurate, reliable, and adaptive modeling and data analysis methods for the characterization and prediction of wind resource and wind power, as well as reliability evaluation of wind energy conversion systems. Bayesian methods have shown...

The electricity market has since 1980s been gradually evolving from a monopoly market into a liberalized one for encouraging competition and improving efficiency. This brings the opportunity for generation companies (GenCos) to make more profits while embracing more risks of not being...

This paper, for the first time, adopts agent-based simulation approach to investigate the bidding optimization of a wind generation company in the deregulated day-ahead electricity wholesale markets, by considering the effect of short-term forecasting accuracy of wind power generation. Two...

Wind speed forecasting is critical for wind energy conversion systems since it greatly influences the issues such as the scheduling of a power system, and the dynamic control of the wind turbine. In this paper, we present a comprehensive comparison study on the application of different...
