Purpose: The rapid rising of renewable energy sources particularly wind energy cannot be ignored. The numerical increase in wind energy farms throughout the world is the best example. The purpose of this paper is to assess the basic question of whether wind characteristics affect the...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze wind climate parameters and performance functions, on the basis of two years of data, and reliability of Pakistan’s first wind farm located at Jhimpir, Sindh. Design/methodology/approach The methodology covers assessment of wind climate...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to assess the wind resource and energy potential of the Sanghar site for minimizing the dependence on fossil fuels and improving the environment. Design/methodology/approach: The Sanghar site wind shear coefficient and turbulence intensity factor are...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to analyze wind characteristics and their effects on wind turbine components and energy generation at the candidate site. Design/methodology/approach: The methodology covered the detailed investigation of wind characteristics using Weibullkandcparameters...

In this paper, we develop heterogeneous agent models with equilibrium unemployment to study the optimal taxation and labour wedge. We find that the the presence of profits plays an important role in the determination of both optimal tax policy and labour wedge. Judd-Chamley optimal zero capital...

Using a Mortensen-Pissarides search-and-matching framework, this paper investigates the importance of search frictions in determining the welfare and distributional effects of tax reforms that re-allocate the tax burden from capital to labour income. Calibrating the model to the UK economy, we...
