Rearranging Edgeworth-Cornish-Fisher expansions
No full textThis paper applies a regularization procedure called increasing rearrangement to monotonize Edgeworth and Cornish-Fisher expansions and any other related approximations of distribution and quantile functions of sample statistics. Besides satisfying the logical monotonicity, required of distribution and quantile functions, the procedure often delivers strikingly better approximations to the distribution and quantile functions of the sample mean than the original Edgeworth-Cornish-Fisher expansions.
Collective Invention during the British Industrial Revolution The Case of the Cornish Pumping Engine
No full textIn this paper, we argue that together with individual inventors and firms, what Robert C. Allen (1983) has termed as collective invention settings (that is settings in which rival firms freely release each other pertinent technical information), were also a crucial source of innovation in the industrial revolution period. Until now, this has been very little considered in the literature. This paper focuses on one of these cases: the Cornish mining district. In Cornwall, during the early nineteenth century, a notable collective invention setting, gradually emerged. This case is particularly remarkable because it was capable of generating a continuous and sustained flow of improvements in steam pumping technology which in the end greatly contributed to improve the thermodynamic efficiency of the steam engine. In this paper we study in detail the specific economic circumstances that led to the formation of this collective invention setting and we analyses its consequences for the rate of technological innovationCollective inventions, information sharing, case study

Probabilistic load flow in systems with high wind power penetration
No full textThis paper proposes a method for solving a probabilistic load flows that takes into account the uncertainties of wind
generation, but also of load and conventional
systems. The method uses a combination of methods including cumulant, point estimate and convolution. Cornish Fisher expansion series are also used to find the CDF. The method is of especial application to estimate active power flows through lines
