Design of shunt active power filter to mitigate the harmonics caused by nonlinear loads
… shunt active power filter (SAPF) by using p-q theory to mitigate the harmonics which are created by nonlinear loads. To obtain result for this paper, the MATLAB / Simulink was used as a simulation tool. The achieved results are within the recommended IEEE-519 standard i.e. less than 5% and also …

Three essays on the size and contribution of intangible investment to the overall capital stock
… relies on a quantitative application of the q-theory of investment to generate the quantity of capital owned by firms. I find that the intangible capital stock accounted for approximately 30% of overall capital since 1994. Of this, the R&D reported by national accounts makes up only 23%. These …

Compensador para cargas de comportamento aleatório baseado em Flywheel
… and the converters control is based on the p-q Theory. In order to investigate the compensator behavior, a real data based simulation was performed. The real case is the Cosigua steel mill, connected to the subtransmission system of the electric energy company Light SESA. The PSCAD software was …

A framework for fuzzy topology with particular reference to sequentiality and countability
Pu and Liu's Q-theory is combined with Lowen's goodness criterion for fuzzy extensions to provide a framework for fuzzifying topology. This framework is used for the study of fuzzy countability properties and for the fuzzification of classical sequentiality. In extending classical notions to fuzzy …

Improving Seismic-to-well Ties
… of anelastic attenuation, the constant-Q theory predicts that the seismic wavelet evolves with amplitude decay and minimum-phase dispersion. Stationary deconvolution estimates and eliminates a single wavelet from the nonstationary trace, resulting in large nonstationary amplitude and phase …

Whose Beliefs Matter for Firm Investment?
… market participants. Motivated by a standard q-theory framework, I relate firm investment rates to managerial and analyst expectations of future earnings per unit of capital, measured respectively from management earnings guidance announcements and contemporaneous consensus equity analyst …

CAPITAL INVESTMENT DECISIONS OF LARGE INDUSTRIAL FIRMS IN MAJOR EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
… Further, an alternative model is derived in a q theory framework to test this negative effect. The model is tested for the UK firms, and similar results are obtained. Third, by considering the product structure of firms, the firm-level investment-uncertainty relationship is tested for UK firms. …

Essays On Corporate Investment Dynamics
… Relation," shows that the neoclassical theory of investment, which has mainly been tested with physical investment, also helps explain intangible investment. At the firm level, Tobin's q explains physical and intangible investment roughly equally well, and it explains total investment …

Three essays in financial economics
… negative investment-return relation implied by q-theory is steeper for high wage firms than for low wage firms. Using wage premia as a proxy for labor adjustment costs, an extended investment-based model predicts the interaction effect because capital-labor complementarity implies that labor …

Impact and Utilization of Emerging PHEV in Smart Power Systems
… active filter based on instantaneous power theory (p-q) theory. The potential of a low-cost solution that utilizes the reactive power and filtering capabilities of plug in vehicles parked in charging stations is investigated. Simulations are performed for various power system networks to …

Is there a case for an augmented Tobin’s Q model of R&D investment? Investigating the role of market structure, knowledge spillovers and corporate governance quality
… and R&D investment in particular the Tobin’s Q theory, or more precisely, the role of market returns adjusted for replacement cost of capital and its implications for expectations formation. To do this, I propose using the one-period-ahead growth rate of Tobin’s average Q instead of average Q …

Essays in New Economic Geography
… introduces endogenous growth by means of a q-theory approach; Baldwin and Forslid (2000) where spillovers are localized, capital is immobile and migration is allowed. Some more recent developments in the NEGG literature can be distinguished in two main strands. One takes into consideration …
