SOME REFLECTIONS ON POLICY MIX IN THE EU LOW-CARBON STRATEGY

The EU low-carbon strategy includes different complementary policies. Potential interactions between instruments and timing of their implementation can influence the cost and likelihood of achieving the targets. We test the interactions between the three main pillars of the EU strategy through&#x...

Copula-based segmentation of cylindrical time series

A hidden Markov model is proposed for segmenting cylindrical time series according to a finite number of latent classes, associated with copula-based cylindrical densities. It provides a parsimonious and computationally tractable approach that integrates circular–linear correlation, multimodality and tempo...

Effects of Boundary Conditions on Irreversible Dynamics

We present a simple one-dimensional Ising-type spin system on which we define a completely asymmetric Markovian single spin-flip dynamics. We study the system at a very low, yet nonzero, temperature, and we show that for free boundary conditions the Gibbs measure is stationary for&...
