Desiccant-based air handling units can achieve reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and energy savings with respect to conventional air conditioning systems. Benefits are maximized when they interact with renewable energy technologies, such as solar collectors. In this work, experimental tests...

The current study intends to optimally design and carry out the economic and environmental assessment of a hybrid photovoltaic/biogas/diesel/battery (PV/BG/DG/battery) sustainable system to meet the electricity load of a village in Xuzhou, east China. HOMER (Hybrid Optimization of Multiple...

Port competition is an important topic in transport economics. This is due not only to the large volumes of goods involved in port throughput – a direct measure of a port’s competitive strength – but also to derived effects in terms of employment and investment. Strikingly, the existing...

Double marginalization occurs in vertical industries when both the upstream and downstream firms have monopoly power. Each firm reduces output from the competitive level to the monopoly level,creating two deadweight losses. This market myopia creates a "vertical externality" that vertical...

The paper explores the role of stakeholder collaboration in the adoption of innovations as part of the environmental and sustainability agenda of port gateways. We do this through a comparative assessment of the port of Vancouver, British Columbia, and the twin ports of Los Angeles and Long...

Using input–output analysis, we examine whether India can be regarded as a pollution haven. We calculate the extra CO<Subscript>2</Subscript>, SO<Subscript>2</Subscript> and NO<Subscript> x </Subscript> emissions induced by 1 billion rupees of additional exports. This is compared with the reduction of Indian pollution caused by an import increase of equal...</subscript></subscript></subscript>
