A note on the different interpretation of the correlation parameters in the Bivariate Probit and the Recursive Bivariate Probit
(2017)Economics Working Paper SeriesThis note makes the point that, if a Bivariate Probit (BP) model is estimated on data arising from a Recursive Bivariate Probit (RBP) process, the resulting BP correlation parameter is a weighted average of the RBP correlation parameter and the parameter associated to the endogenous binary variable. Two corollaries follow this proposition: i) a zero correlation parameter in a BP model, usually interpreted as evidence of independence between ...Working Paper -

A Short Note on Another Characterization of Prime Numbers
(2017)In [2] two new related characterizations of prime numbers were introduced. In this note a third characterization is introduced which leads to the same primness criterion as the one obtained from the arithmetic series of composites [1].Working Paper -
New Characterization of Primes and its Consequences
(2017)A new characterization of a prime number as a sum of only two neighbouring natural numbers is established. The composite numbers are sums of two and also more neighbouring natural numbers. Another characterization as a difference between squares of two neighbouring natural numbers is dis cussed. A primeness criterion is derived as well as a method for decomposition of composite numbersWorking Paper -

ISCHESS – Integration of stochastic renewables in the Swiss electricity supply system
(2017)The project integration of stochastic renewables in the Swiss electricity supply system (ISCHESS) addresses the problem to be dealt with by network operators due to the integration of large scale stochastic renewable energy sources (RES) in the Swiss electricity systems during the coming decades. Located at the center of the ENTSO-E transmission grid, the Swiss electricity network also forms a benchmark case for the European energy ...Report -
