Optimum sizing of steam turbines for concentrated solar power plants حسب Poullikkas, Andreas

"…The results indicate that the estimated efficiency and the expected specific capital cost of the power block are very important criteria in choosing the best steam turbine size of a CSP plant. For capacity sizes of 10kWe up to 50MWe, the steam turbine efficiency increases and the steam turbine expected specific capital cost of the power block decreases at a high rate, whereas for larger sizes they remain almost constant. …"

A new quadratic asymmetric error correction model: does size matter? حسب Ayman Mnasri (16932486)

"…Simulation results confirm the consistency of our proposed estimator in finite samples and show that the bootstrapped tests have reasonably good size and power properties. Although our estimation of the Okun’s Law for the USA confirms previous findings on the direction of the sign asymmetry, its reveals that the magnitude of the impact of economic downturns on unemployment decreases faster than the impact of upturns. …"
