The value of flexibility
Published 2005“…This general model of flexibility is used to synthesize several recent studies of real options encountered in capital budgeting. For example, the model yields as special cases (a) the value of waiting to invest, (b) the option to abandon, (c) the value of having an option to shut down, (d) the replacement timing and technology choice, and (e) the "time to build" option for irreversible projects that require sequential outlays. …”

Affording mobility: attending to the socio-material affordances of transport un/affordability
Published 2023“…The everyday spaces and times within which transport un/affordability takes place are examined through the three interrelated dimensions of transport un/affordability: transactions, journeys, and budgets. The paper considers the implications of conceptualising transport un/affordability relationally, particularly in the context of transport geography's empirical and theoretical engagements with transport justice, and amidst processes of profound technological change within both payment systems and transport systems globally.…”

Inertia-Gravity Waves Emitted from Balanced Flow: Observations, Properties, and Consequences
Published 2008“…Extrapolation of the results suggests that inertia-gravity waves might make a significant contribution to the energy budgets of the atmosphere and ocean. In particular, emission of inertia-gravity waves from mesoscale eddies may be an important source of energy for deep interior mixing in the ocean. © 2008 American Meteorological Society.…”

Negative investment in China: financing constraints and restructuring versus growth.
Published 2010“…Our panel data probit estimations shows that negative investment by state-owned firms can be explained mainly by inefficiency: owing to over-investment or mis-investment in the past, these firms have had to restructure and to get rid of obsolete capital in the face of increasing competition and hardening budgets. The financing explanation holds for private firms, which have had to divest in order to raise capital. …”
