Additionally, hedonic value mediated the effects of store atmosphere and gift promotion on repurchase intention but not for proactive interaction marketing.
Negociação de alta frequência
Authors: Lopes Micaela
Published: November 2024

Nos Estados Unidos da América, mais de 75% do volume transacionado na bolsa de valores advém de ordens originadas e executadas através de complexos e rápidos processos computacionais. No mercado europeu, estima-se que as negociações de alta frequência representam mais da metade das transações totais. A estabilidade dos mercados financeiros é colocada em causa, já que a velocidade envolvida nessas transações e a geração de ordens errôneas sobrecarregam o sistema, aumentando exponencialmente o risco sistêmico. Por tais motivos, impõe-se que se considere a implementação de um imposto que, ao condicionar esse tipo de negociação, contribuiria para um funcionamento mais transparente dos mercados financeiros. É imperativo promover o debate sobre a estabilidade e a equidade negocial e, assim, fornecer ao poder legislativo e às autoridades regulatórias uma base doutrinária substancial para o desenvolvimento e implementação de políticas destinadas a promover uma maior segurança financeira.

Published: November 2024

The phenotypic characteristics of animals are result of the interaction of genetic and non-genetic factors that act simultaneously, and it is difficult to determine the degree of influence of each of them.

The goal of this study was to describe Assaf lamb morphology and its relationship with body weight (BW) at various ages. BWs and phenotypical characteristics measurements were taken on 392 lambs, 204 lambs at birth (±3 days of birth), 87 lambs at weaning (around 60 days), and 101 lambs at marketing age (around 120 days). The measurements were withers height (WH), body length (BL), chest girth (CG), chest depth (CD), head length (HL), head width (HW), rump length (RL), RW (RW), shoulder width (SW), shin circumference (SC), foreleg height (FLH), rump height (RH) and rear leg height (RLH).

Month of birth (MO) affected (P<0.001) BW and all morphological characteristics except CD and RW at birth. At weaning, BW, HL, CG, RL, CD, SW, and RW were affected (P<0.001) by MO. Sex of the lamb, birth type, and dam age also affected (P<0.001) different morphological characteristics. Furthermore, BW was positively correlated with different morphological characteristics at different ages. Meanwhile, equations were developed to predict BW at birth, weaning, and marketing based on various morphological characteristics while taking high into account.

Authors: Bani Yasmin , Gutale Ali Abdulkadir Ali , Abdul-Rahim Abdul Samad , Afandi Syamsul Herman Mohammad
Published: November 2024

Sub-Saharan African (SSA) nations are falling behind in human development when compared to other regions globally, despite their abundant natural resources. Several Sub-Saharan African states have an underdeveloped financial structure, leading to underutilization of natural resource profits for human development. This research examines how the level of financial development impacts the relationship between natural resource rents and sustainable human development in 40 SSA countries from 2005 to 2019. This research used the dynamic panel threshold (DPT) approach, an advanced econometric methodology designed to address concerns often seen in panel data such as endogeneity, cross-sectional dependence, and heterogeneity. The cointegration findings showed a long-term association among the variables. The dynamic panel threshold analysis showed that natural resource rent had a detrimental influence on human capital development when financial development was below a certain threshold. Conversely, the outcomes were different when financial development exceeded the threshold. Financial system progress in Sub-Saharan African states considerably uses resource windfalls to improve sustainable human development. This research conducted robustness tests by using alternative estimates excluding outlier sample countries and extra proxies. The conclusions remained unchanged. Policy suggestions were introduced to enhance the financial sector and improve institutional quality in order to ensure sustainable growth in the SSA area.

Authors: Acevedo Arenas A. Cesar Y. , Muñoz Maldonado Yecid A. , Petit Suárez Johann F. , Morales Sánchez Duban H. , Ramírez Contreras Daniel F.
Published: November 2024

The Levelized cost of electricity - LCOE represents a constant cost per unit of generated electrical energy, resulting from the analysis of the total costs throughout the life cycle of a generation plant. Its widespread use, thanks to its simplicity of calculation and potential of standardization, has made it one of the primary criteria for comparing electricity generation technologies. However, in the pursuit of simplification and generalization, certain aspects associated with the socioeconomic context of the region, as well as accounting and financial concepts, are excluded due to externalities or incentives related to regulatory and fiscal policies. These exclusions affect the accuracy of LCOE and introduce uncertainty when using it as a criterion for investment decision-making or allocation of public resources for the development of renewable sources. This article proposes a clear and standardized methodology for calculating LCOE, which allows for a fair and precise comparison of renewable energy generation options in rural areas. It contributes to informed and transparent decision-making in the fields of energy policy and public investment for expanding electricity service coverage. The proposed methodology is based on the financial cash flow matrix to address variability sources in the calculation, considering the local context of the generation project.

Published: November 2024

Energy storage technologies are one of the ways to decrease the intermittency of renewable energy such as sun or wind. The article aims to consider the organizational and economic mechanisms of promoting residential battery energy storage systems (R-BESS) in Ukraine, as households have ensured the significant growth of installed capacities of residential PV installations, reaching 1.4 GW by 2024. The energy system of Ukraine faces balancing challenges, and partial covering of the demand for energy by households with the help of R-BESS should be beneficial for the energy system. Using methods of levelized cost of electricity and cost of storing electricity, and based on the projected electricity demand and the number of R-BESS, measures were suggested to stimulate the R-BESS installation. Significant investments are required to employ R-BESS, reaching EUR2024 2.9-3.6 billion by 2050. If the interest rates for loans are subsidized, the expenditures on subsidies will reach only EUR2024 35-44 million, and the households themselves must allocate the remainder of the funds.

Within the literature, there exists a lack of a comprehensive review of the potential of renewable energy in the country while the relatively less contribution of renewable energy resources, making the country more vulnerable to adopt a more carbon-intensive energy policy. Consequently, in this study, we conduct a thorough review of existing literature to provide a comprehensive assessment of the current status of renewable energy and the energy mix in Nepal. We also discussed the potential for the country to transition to a sustainable energy system. This review analysis exclusively focused on scholarly articles and research reports that specifically addressed the topic of renewable energy in Nepal. Despite the rapid decline in the cost of solar photovoltaics, Nepal’s renewable energy share currently stands at only 3.2%. This paper argues that Nepal needs proactive and favorable strategies and policies to effectively implement clean energy, based on the given premises and the country’s aspirations for sustainable energy. This involves a substantial amount of solar power production combined with battery storage, supplemented by storage methods such as off-river pumping hydropower technology. The study emphasizes the significance of renewable energy in achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This review also emphasizes the obstacles in the advancement of Nepal’s renewable energy industry and offers suitable policy suggestions to address these obstacles, hence facilitating a sustainable shift in energy.

Published: November 2024

This study aims to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the impact of macro trade determinants on carbon dioxide emissions within Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) economies spanning from 1995 to 2022. Specifically, it explores this influence through the theoretical frameworks of the Pollution Haven Hypothesis (PHH) and the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC). Advanced econometric methods, including stepwise regression employing the fully modified least square method and Pool ordinary least square method, are utilized in this research. Granger causality and Johnson cointegration tests are employed to assess both long- and short-term dynamics. The findings reveal that macro trade factors such as total investment, trade reserves, per capita income, and net inflow of foreign direct investment exhibit significant associations with carbon dioxide emissions across both short and long-term timeframes. Particularly noteworthy is the positive and statistically significant impact of per capita income, total investment, foreign direct investment, and gross national savings on CO2 emissions. In contrast, trade reserves demonstrate a significant and negative impact on greenhouse gas emissions.

Published: November 2024

Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) for extended BRICS is examined by considering different shapes such as liner, U-and N-shaped, and the impact of women’s governance and water stress. To calculate cointegrating regressions, a Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS) is applied, and the estimated long-term relations are included in a panel Vector Error Correction model. Moreover, Methods of Moments of Quantile Regression (MMQR) is run to robust the findings. The FMOLS results indicate the validation of the linear EKC association for extended BRICS compared to other relations, the U- and N-shaped. This is attributed to the reason that the extended BRICS nations are in the earlier stages of the EKC. It is observed that per capita gross domestic product increases CO2 emissions in the long term, whereas women’s governance and water stress decrease CO2 emissions in the long term in extended BRICS. Furthermore, there exists a causal association between per capita GDP, women’s governance, water stress, and CO2 emissions. MMQR results also validate the negative association between CO2 emissions, women governance and water stress across all the quantiles, 10%-90%.
The Environmental Impact of Trade Openness on CO2 Emissions: Empirical Evidence from Somalia
Authors: Abdulle Abdikani Yusuf , Mohamed Idiris Sid Ali
Published: November 2024

This research examines the effects of trade openness on carbon emissions in Somalia from 1980 to 2021. Somalia’s economy is strongly dependent on exporting goods including cattle, charcoal, and raw agricultural products, which contribute to high carbon emissions. The study employed Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL), full modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS), dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS), and Canonical Co-integrating Regression (CCR) to analyze the immediate and long-term correlation between trade openness and carbon dioxide emissions in Somalia. When there are different types of variables, our approach, which includes the ADF unit root test, verifies that all variables show first-order integration (I (1)) and stationary behavior (I (0)). The ARDL-bound tests for co-integration reveal a durable connection between carbon emissions and several factors, including trade openness, gross domestic product (GDP), foreign direct investment (FDI), and population increase. The findings demonstrate a statistically significant and inverse relationship between trade openness and short-term carbon dioxide emissions. The heightened levels of trade openness have a noticeable detrimental effect on carbon emissions. Furthermore, there is a strong and statistically significant negative relationship between energy consumption, RGDP, and population increase with carbon emissions, except for RGDP which shows no significant impact. FDI exhibits a robust and meaningful correlation with carbon emissions in both the short and long term. In addition, Somalia’s population is experiencing significant growth, making it one of the fastest-growing populations in the world. This growth leads to an increased demand for energy, land, and consumption, which in turn contributes to higher emissions. However, the research did not take into account other possible factors that could have an impact, such as technical advancements, global economic changes, climate change, and policy adjustments. The report advised that future research explore the possibilities of sustainable trade practices, improvements in energy efficiency, and the use of renewable energy as means to minimize CO2 emissions.

Authors: Abosedra Salah , Dahan Abdulkarim , Rasool Rather Sartaj
Published: November 2024

This paper explains the drivers of electricity demand in the UAE by applying the novel Autoregressive Distributive Lag model (ARDL). This model is well-suited for a small sample size, and it has a robust design in terms of lag selection and length, which mitigates issues of endogeneity and multicollinearity. In addition to GDP and real electricity prices, our model accounts for population, and weather as underlying variables affecting electricity demand in UAE. We employ up to date available time-series annual data for the country which covers the period from the year 1985 to 2022. The results suggest that in the short run, except temperature, no other factor seems to have any significant impact on electricity demand. However, in the long run, changes in income, temperature, and population are positively influencing the electricity demand in the UAE. Also, the electricity price appears to be negatively related to the demand for electricity. Overall, our findings show that policymakers' ability to change electricity consumption in the UAE is limited in the short run. Therefore, long-term policies that promote the use of alternative sources of energy and increase consumer awareness through programs that mitigate the impact of climate change factors seem more appropriate.

Authors: Rachmad Rizal , Irawan Mohammad Isa , Hanoum Syarifa
Published: November 2024

Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in the world. As a developing country, Indonesia needs electricity to boost its economy. Indonesia’s efforts to achieve Net Zero Emission (NZE) will have difficulty achieving this goal because fossil fuels contribute 85% of its electricity production. This study aims to measure the operational variables of CFPPs, and CO2 is used to measure efficiency to help reduce carbon gas emissions. In addition, this study attempts to analyze the factors that make CFPPs less economically profitable. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) techniques are used to measure efficiency. The results are 23% of CFPPs are in an efficient condition. While the rest are in an inefficient condition, in the future the CFPPs can be optimized by benchmarking against their peers and increasing the target of increasingly efficient CFPPs in Indonesia. CFPPs that are close to coal mines have relatively higher operational costs but have lower CO2 emissions than CFPPs located near economic centers. Government policies are needed in efforts to encourage cheap operational costs but with low CO2 emissions as well.

Актуальність даної теми обумовлюється низкою факторів. Війна завдала значної шкоди туристичному сектору України, зруйнувавши інфраструктуру, спричинивши людські жертви та значно скоротивши потік туристів. Багато об'єктів туристичної індустрії зруйновані або пошкоджені. Зростання цін на енергоносії та інші ресурси, відтік кадрів, а також логістичні проблеми ускладнили діяльність туристичних підприємств. У зв'язку з вищезазначеними факторами, туристичний сектор України потребує масштабної повоєнної відбудови та модернізації. Це передбачає відновлення зруйнованої інфраструктури, оновлення матеріально-технічної бази, впровадження нових технологій та інновацій, а також підготовку кваліфікованих кадрів. Євроінтеграція є важливим аспектом у розвитку вітчизняного туризму. Україна зацікавлена в інтенсифікації відносин з Європейським Союзом у галузі туризму, що дає низку переваг, а саме: значні впливання іноземних інвестицій, збільшення туристичних потоків на території України, розбудову вітчизняної інфраструктури, поповнення державного та місцевих бюджетів, поліпшення якості надання туристичних послуг тощо. Для того, щоб скористатися цими можливостями, український туристичний сектор має відповідати європейським стандартам і адаптуватися до змін, щоб залишатися конкурентоспроможним. Отже, тема повоєнного відновлення та модернізації туристичного сектору України в контексті прискорення євроінтеграції є надзвичайно актуальною і потребує ретельного вивчення та аналізу, а також розробки та впровадження ефективних стратегій управління змінами.
