CONCAVELY−PRICED PROBABILISTIC TIMED AUTOMATA by Jurdzinski, M, Kwiatkowska, M, Norman, G, Trivedi, A

Road pricing and disadvantaged social groups in Europe by Focas, C, Anderson, H, Marciani, M, Perez, M

“…The objectives of EXTRA were to analyse the travel behaviour of groups that face a disadvantage in transport, and make a tentative judgement on what would be the repercussion upon them if market pricing were introduced on urban roads in Europe.…”

Adaptive Finite Element Solution of 1D European Option Pricing Problems by Jackson, N, Suli, E

Computation of Deterministic Volatility Surfaces by Jackson, N, Suli, E, Howison, S

“…The 'volatility smile' is one of the well-known biases of Black-Scholes models for pricing options. In this paper, we introduce a robust method of reducing this bias by pricing subject to a deterministic functional volatility $\sigma = \sigma (S,t)$. …”

Economic growth and climate change — opportunities and challenges on the way to a zero-carbon society by Mattauch, L, Roesti, M, Schwarz, M, Siegmeier, J

“…We argue that a coherent regulatory framework is urgently required: Comprehensive carbon pricing is a necessary con- dition to achieve ambitious emission reductions in a growing economy. …”

The cost of achieving the Eatwell Guide diet: 2023 update by Kaur, A, Scarborough, P

“…This estimate was based on price data on 7575 food items listed on a UK supermarket price comparison website in 2016. …”

The cost of achieving the Eatwell Guide diet update: report by Kaur, A, Scarborough, P

“…In 2016, we estimated that the cost of the current diet was £6.02 (95% Confidence Intervals [CIs] £5.96 to £6.08) per adult, per day and the cost of achieving the Eatwell Guide diet (i.e. a diet that meets the dietary recommendations) was £5.99 (95% CIs £5.93 to £6.05) per adult, per day. The food price data used for the 2016 analyses were collected using automated data collection methods to scrape the prices of 7575 food items listed on a UK supermarket price comparison website. …”

Monte Carlo evaluation of sensitivities in computational finance by Giles, M

“…In computational finance, Monte Carlo simulation is used to compute the correct prices for financial options. More important, however, is the ability to compute the so-called "Greeks'', the first and second order derivatives of the prices with respect to input parameters such as the current asset price, interest rate and level of volatility. …”

Finding the fuel poor and framing better policy by Palmer, J, Boardman, B, Terry, N, Fawcett, T, Narayan, U

“…The additional support provided in 2022-23 has been withdrawn, but prices continue to be very high, and in the absence of help, millions of households will struggle without adequate energy for heating, hot water, cooking and other vital services. …”

Stranded Down Under? Environment-related factors changing China’s demand for coal and what this means for Australian coal assets by Caldecott, B, Tilbury, J, Yuge, M

“…We look at how this evolving demand picture could then translate into impacts on the coal price and then on the stranded asset risks faced by coal and coal-related assets in Australia - a country that is a large and growing coal exporter to China.…”

“…The housing crisis in England is characterised by rising house prices, unsatisfactory living conditions and (for many) the unattainable dream of owning a home. …”

Bidding Markets. by Klemperer, P

“…Auctions and bidding processes do have some special features--including their price formation processes, common-values behavior, and bid-taker power--but the significance of these features has been overemphasized, and they often imply a need for stricter rather than more lenient competition policy.…”

Smoking Adjoints: fast evaluation of Greeks in Monte Carlo calculations by Giles, M, Glasserman, P

“…The method calculates price sensitivities along each path; but in contrast to a forward pathwise calculation, it works backward recursively using adjoint variables. …”

Valuing the impact of food: towards practical and comparable monetary valuation of food system impacts by Lord, S

“…It finds unavoidable ethical choices and order of magnitude uncertainties inherent in both social and abatement costing, recommending that a consortium of intergovernmental and institutional actors and experts in collaboration with the food sector process should compile, set and update shadow prices associated to food footprints. …”

Smart and fair local energy: Introducing energy local by Barnes, J, Hansen, P, Darby, S

“…By facilitating local sharing of energy, it increases export prices for local generators, reduces electricity costs and fuel poverty for households and keeps money circulating locally. …”

The Kyoto protocol : Russian opportunities by Müller, B

“…<br/><br/> In a first part, macro-economic data published in a World Bank National Clean Development Mechanisms/Joint Implementation (CDM/JI) Strategy Study is used to estimate the value of the Russian CO2 mitigation potential under the Kyoto mechanisms for different carbon prices. The second part addresses the question how this potential could most effectively be used for the Russian economy. …”

Surveying siblings: the case for tracking brothers and sisters of Young Lives index children in Round 4 and beyond by Porter, C, Sanchez, A, Nair, M
