Stela: on-demand elasticity in distributed data stream processing systems
… and unintrusively when requested by the user on demand. In order to scale out/in, a critical problem that needs to be solved is to determine which operator(s) of the stream processing application need to be given more resources or taken resources away from, in order to maximize the application …

Investigation of the impact of demand elasticity and system constraints on electricity market using extended Cournot approach
In today's electricity supply industry, demand side participation is considered an important factor that can influence the market performance and output effectively. Demand elasticity shows the sensitivity of demand side to the market price, and thus can provide potential adjustment of demand in …

Economic incentive for output restrictions in the cobalt market
… framework presented is the magnitude of net demand elasticity faced by a producer considering supply restriction. Elasticities of market demand and competitive supply and the market share of the producer considering supply restriction are derived as the components of net demand elasticity. …

Three essays on the idiosyncrasies of a perennial crop : the case of the US almond market
… its exports are sensitive to both the supply and demand in other countries. In the first essay a proposed framework that captures supply idiosyncrasies of perennial crops is developed to estimate the excess demand elasticity for US almonds. Global supply, demand and price transmission elasticities …

Three essays on the demand system
… first essay investigates how scanner data affect demand elasticity estimates and develops methods for scientists to adapt estimated elasticities to analyses of specific policies. We conduct a meta-analysis of U.S. demand elasticities and find evidence that scanner data generate statistically …

Essays on the Impact of Social Influence in Industrial Organization and Political Economy
… market, I find that advertising increases demand elasticity, inducing firms to converge on low prices, and can be used by a first mover to deter entry and gain monopoly rents. In this setting, advertising creates a cutthroat environment in which only one product can survive. In a snobbish …

Optimal Upfc Control And Operations For Power Systems
… for the market while takeing factors such as demand elasticity into account. In the last part, a mathematical programming problem is formulated to obtain the maximum value of the loadibility factor, while the power system is constrained by steady-state dynamic security constraints. An …

Integrating demand into the U.S. electric power system : technical, economic, and regulatory frameworks for responsive load
… with the assumption of exogenous, inelastic demand. The resulting evolution of the power system reinforced this assumption as nearly all controls, monitors, and feedbacks were implemented on the supply side. Time invariant, averaged retail pricing was a natural extension of the assumption of …

Influence of a High-Fat Diet on Delay Discounting, Food Reinforcement, and Eating Behaviors in Sedentary and Endurance Trained Men
… The food purchase task (FPT) assesses the demand for a food and how reinforcing this item is at various prices. Using a controlled feeding study design, 10 males (n=7 sedentary, n=10 endurance trained) consumed an iso-caloric, standard diet (55% carbohydrate, 30% fat, and 15% protein) for …

Essays in International Macroeconomics
… pass-through into prices: assuming the import demand elasticity is independent of pass-through, larger effects of exchange rates on prices yield larger substitution of spending between domestic and foreign goods. In this paper, I show that this conventional wisdom does not hold. Using …

Value of more sophistication : capital investment decision-making with competitive dynamics in the mining industry
… for various market scenarios of different demand growth patterns, volatility, demand elasticity, and supply structure. Simulation results show that in almost all scenarios, the game theoretic and option-based best-firm-NPV policies outperform the positive-mine-NPV policy substantially for …

From marginalized to optimized : re-envisioning urban highway corridors
… the concept of traffic network flexibility and demand elasticity. This, in turn, may be able to better define how best to encourage mode shift from single occupancy vehicles to other modes. This thesis is an exploration of highway removal and redesign, and a proposal for context-sensitive …

Essays on insurance
… and one is much more salient. We find a larger demand elasticity for the salient versus non-salient premium. A model of insurer plan design produces simulated premiums matching the observed distribution using these "behavioral" elasticities, but not when assuming equal elasticities across the …

How should we measure the digital economy?
… digital platforms allowing for heterogeneity in demand elasticity and network effects across users of different types. It then calibrates the model using an empirical application to Facebook and simulates six different taxation and regulatory policies. Chapter 4 looks at the impact of social …

Metal price volatility : a study of informative metrics and the volatility mitigating effects of recycling
… price. Correlations were stronger when the demand elasticity was high, the secondary substitutability was high, or the delays in adding primary capacity were low. Regarding managing price volatility, greater secondary substitutability lowers price volatility; likely because it increases the …

INVESTIGATING SEX DIFFERENCES IN THE TRANS-SYNAPTIC REGULATORS OF MESOLIMBIC DRIVEN PALATABLE FOOD INTAKE
… paradigm to tease apart several measurements of demand: hedonic set point (Q0), demand elasticity (α), P Max (elasticity defense), and essential value (reinforcement strength) of high-fat and standard food in free feeding and mildly restricted contexts in female and male mice In addition, we …

An economic analysis of gene marker assisted seedstock selection in beef cattle
… the innovation were simulated using four sets of demand elasticity data from literatures. An important focus of this research is determining how the economic surplus from the innovation will be shared by consumers, producers and the gene marker monopolist. The consumer and gene marker monopolist …
