A dynamic factor demand model is developed, accounting for the adjustment costs that are defined in terms of forgone output from current production. It addresses four key aspects of production and energy demand in manufacturing: first, it establishes the various relationships between different factors of production. Second, it investigates whether the energy demand in the industrial sectors in South Korea would be decreased or increased by substituting/complementing with other input factors such as ICT capital and labor. Third, it looks at sources of growth in the industrial sectors through decomposing the Divisia index based total factor productivity (TFP). Finally it provides appropriate policy recommendations based on these findings. The results of this study may provide industrial sectors’ stakeholders and environmental and industrial policy makers with a flexible model that has the capacity to assess outcomes of various policies under certain scenarios. The factor demand methodology described in this book is very advanced and up-to-date. It can be used when teaching advanced graduate courses and in empirically advanced research. Therefore, it is highly relevant in both teaching as a main or supplementary text and in particular as a reference handbook in conducting empirical research. The focus on ICT effects on energy use makes this book an important addition to the existing literature on industrial development. .Lecture Notes in Energy,2195-1292 ;59Energy policyEnergy policyElectric power productionIndustrial engineeringProduction engineeringApplication softwareInformation technologyManagementEnergy Policy, Economics and ManagementElectrical Power EngineeringMechanical Power EngineeringIndustrial and Production EngineeringComputer and Information Systems ApplicationsBusiness IT InfrastructureEnergy policy.Energy policy.Electric power production.Industrial engineering.Production engineering.Application software.Information technologyManagement.Energy Policy, Economics and Management.Electrical Power Engineering.Mechanical Power Engineering.Industrial and Production Engineering.Computer and Information Systems Applications.Business IT Infrastructure.658.26Khayyat Nabaz Tauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut866289BOOK9910253980603321ICT Investment for Energy Use in the Industrial Sectors1939056UNINA03894nam 22007335 450 991034953850332120200629163718.03-662-59889-210.1007/978-3-662-59889-4(CKB)4100000009678412(MiAaPQ)EBC5968954(DE-He213)978-3-662-59889-4(EXLCZ)99410000000967841220191025d2019 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierSolutions to Financial Economics Exercises on Classical and Behavioral Finance /by Thorsten Hens, Marc Oliver Rieger1st ed. 2019.Berlin, Heidelberg :Springer Berlin Heidelberg :Imprint: Springer,2019.1 online resource (vii, 213 pages) illustrationsSpringer Texts in Business and Economics,2192-43333-662-59887-6 Part I: Exercises -- Introduction -- Decision Theory -- Two-Period Model: Mean-Variance Approach -- Two-Period Model: State-Preference Approach -- Multiple-Periods Model -- Theory of the Firm -- Information Asymmetries on Financial Markets -- Time-Continuous Model -- Part II: Solutions -- Introduction -- Decision Theory.-Two-Period Model: Mean-Variance Approach -- Two-Period Model: State-Preference Approach -- Multiple-Periods Model -- Theory of the Firm -- Information Asymmetries on Financial Markets -- Time-Continuous Model -- References.This book offers a concise introduction to the field of financial economics and presents, for the first time, recent behavioral finance research findings that help us to understand many puzzles in traditional finance.
