Quantifying Regional Economic Impacts of CO2 Intensity Targets in China
(2012)Joint Program Report SeriesTo address rising energy use and CO2 emissions, China’s leadership has enacted energy and CO2 intensity targets under the Twelfth Five-Year Plan (2011–2015), which are defined at both the national and provincial levels. We develop a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model with global coverage that disaggregates China’s 30 provinces and includes energy system detail, and apply it to assess the impact of provincial CO2 emissions intensity ...Report -

A Tractable Nonlinear Fault Detection and Isolation Technique with Application to the Cyber-Physical Security of Power Systems
(2012)Technical ReportThis article consists of two parts: a theoretical part concerned with fault detection schemes, and an application part dealing with cyber security of power systems. In the first part, we develop a tractable approach to design a robust residual generator to detect and isolate faults in high dimensional nonlinear systems. Previous approaches on fault detection and isolation problems are either confined to linear systems or they are only ...Report -
The Illusion of the Perpetual Money Machine
(2012)Notenstein Academy White Paper SeriesWe argue that the present crisis and stalling economy continuing since 2007 are rooted in the delusionary belief in policies based on a "perpetual money machine" type of thinking. We document strong evidence that, since the early 1980s, consumption has been increasingly funded by smaller savings, booming financial profits, wealth extracted from house price appreciation and explosive debt. This is in stark contrast with the productivity-fueled ...Report -

Factsheet 6: The Changing Dynamics of Crisis Communication
(2012)CSS Risk and Resilience ReportsThis factsheet examines the crisis communication efforts of the public and private sector stakeholders in the aftermath of the 2011 Tsunami in Japan. It will particularly focus on novel, bottom-up efforts and provide some needed insight into today's context where the crisis communication experience is a dynamic and complex network rather than static and linear. To analyze this trend in more detail, the factsheet shows how the characteristics ...Report -
