Abstract:
Numerous studies assume that the price elasticity of electricity demand remains constant through the years. This, in turn, means that these studies assume that industrial consumers react in the same way to price fluctuations regardless of the actual price level. This paper proposes that the price elasticity of industrial electricity demand varies over time. The Kalman filter methodology is employed in an effort to provide policy-makers with more information on the behaviour of the industrial sector with regards to electricity price changes, focusing on the period 1970 to 2007. Other factors affecting electricity consumption, such as real output and employment, are also captured. The findings of this paper show that price sensitivity has changed since the 1970s. It has decreased in absolute values from -1 in 1980 to -0.953 in 1990 and then stabilised at approximately -0.95 which indicates that the industrial sector has experienced an inelastic demand. In other words, the behaviour of industrial consumers did not vary significantly during the 2000s. In the long run and as the prices increase, probably reaching the levels of the 1970s or even before, the industrial sector’s behaviour might change and the elasticity might end up at levels higher than one (elastic).

Abstract:
Abstract One particular problem with the competitive solution to resource pricing is the potential for resource price instability. Using monthly data on prices for five different minerals the author examines, with the help of statistical techniques, the behaviour of prices over the years 1922-1974. He finds that fears of potential resource price instability have been overstated. Due either to the capitalization reactions of resource owners, or to the fact that resource markets are characterized by a monopolized industrial structure, real resource prices appear to show remarkable stability.

Abstract:
Analysis of emission allowances prices has important environmental and political connotations. This article aimed to identifying the possible variables that may influence their behaviour and studied their relationship with fundamental factors: energy (Brent petroleum, Gas, Coal) and economy (Industrial Production Index, Baltic Dry Index, Purchasing Managers Index). With the objective of analyzing possible mutual interactions, Multivariate VAR or Error Correction Models (VECM), were applied. The information analysed derived from different sources (World Bank, Sendeco2 and various financial websites). The results obtained showed, not only the influence of past prices on the emission allowances actual price, but also the interaction with energetic and economic variables. Highlights Estimation of time series interrelations through VAR models. There is relationship of the emission allowances price with their past values. The energy variables are factors important to also explain the behavior of the emission allowances price. The economic variables are hardly significant except for the Dry Baltic Index.

Abstract:
Price stability are important for macroeconomic stability, especially for the economies, which are facing macroeconomic instability. Contractionary monetary policy can play an important role in minimizing the frequency of price change, so for effective monetary policy, it is necessary to identify the determinants of price setting behaviour. The objective of the study is to determine the patterns of price setting of firms and responses of firms to economic shocks, i.e. changes in demand and supply side factors, the role of firm characteristics, institutional and other factors in determining the channel of adjustment after these shocks. The data is collected through stratified frandom samplling from 342 firms, located in four Industrial estates of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Price setting behavior is measured through importance of demand and cost shocks for price change. To estimate the effects of determinants of price change, models are estimated through logistic technique. Firms’ likelihood of price increases higher than that to price decrease in response to both demand and supply shocks. Furthermore, supply-side factors lead to higher frequency of price change than demand-side factors do. The cost of raw material and cost of energy are the most important causes of price change, both for the price increase and decrease. Demand and cost shocks are important determinants of price change for imperfectly competitive firms, backward-looking firms, firms run by managers having more information about economic conditions, while credibility of central bank is important determinant of price change in case of demand shocks only. Size of firms and information set regarding expected inflation do not have any effect. For effective monetary policy of Pakistan, credibility of central bank has to be established to stabilize prices and pre-emptive measures should be taken on the part of central bank to counter supply shocks.

Abstract:
The recent modern healthy lifestyle is influenced by the selection of food ingredient such as organic vegetables. Organic vegetables are well known in community. But, the purchase of organic vegetables has decreased in the last few years because price has been high, packaging and quality have not been interesting, and low priority on organic vegetables than conventional vegetables. This research was conducted by the Theory Planned Behaviour (TPB) approach with 6 variables. Those are price, packaging, quality, attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control to analyze the effect of factor to the decreased purchase attitude and intention buy organic vegetables with Structural Equation Model (SEM)-Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis. The results showed that the following factors are price, quality, attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control have an effect to the decreased purchase attitude and intention buy organic vegetables. So, it can be a strategy for selling and consuming organic vegetables in the future.

Abstract:
Abstract Under free market conditions, there should be a correlation between price and demand. In the electricity market, it is not possible to shift all consumption to hours that are more favourable. Therefore, free market rules do not fully apply to the electricity exchange market. Household consumers have a better ability to shift their energy consumption. At the same time, a large number of household consumers have fixed-price contracts and are therefore not affected by the sharp price changes, so it can be said that they do not actively participate in the stock market. They do not need to shift their electricity consumption. High-consumption industrial companies have very low possibilities at all to react to the stock market changes. The aim of this study is to find out how much electricity consumption has been able to shift in a situation where electricity prices in Estonian were extremely high and volatile. Electricity prices are usually lower at night-time, so it can be assumed that consumption will be shifted to night-time if possible. Examining the change in the distribution of night- and daytime electrical consumption over the years, it is possible to analyse the effect of energy prices on consumer behaviour during periods of high volatility.

Abstract:
Purpose – Buyer power can be defined as the ability to obtain trade terms more favourable than a supplier’s normal trade terms. The purpose of this paper is to estimate existence of buyer power in the Italian market of fresh milk. The sector is characterised by high industrial and retail firms concentration and a significant gap between the downstream and upstream prices exists. Design/methodology/approach – The authors applied the “first-pass” test proposed by Lloyd et al. (2009) on a set of monthly price indexes series from 2000 to 2013 in order to estimate if a buyer power exists in this sector. This in order to verify how prices are transmitted along the supply chain and to determine if buyer power contributes in conditioning the retail-producer price spread. Findings – Estimated results suggest that buyer power exists in the Italian fresh milk supply chain and oligopsonistic behaviour affects the spread between downstream and upstream prices. Originality/value – The paper gives a contribute on estimation of buyer power in the agro-food supply chains. However, more research needs to be carried out in order to precisely evaluate the nature and the causes of presence of buyer power.

Abstract:
Oligopoly behaviour by domestic firms faced with foreign competition in a small open economy is examined in the context of a market for differentiated products. This paper concentrates on the responsiveness of import flows to import price in the context of trade with imperfect competition. The empirical work analyses the behaviour over time of the interaction between domestic industry prices and domestic costs as well as foreign competitors' prices. A structural model is employed for estimation purposes with consumer demand derived from a CES (constant elasticity of substitution) utility function of domestic and foreign composites of goods. Domestic firms are assumed to face Leontief production functions and maximise profit independently subject to their conjectures about the reactions of rivals. Firm behaviour is modelled using conjectural variations to identify market power, distinguishing two models of oligopoly, namely, Cournot and Bertrand conjectural variations. This leads to the econometric specification of pricing, import and budget share equations consistent with oligopolistic equilibrium. The interrelationship between the budget share equations and the price-cost margin provides encompasses either Cournot or Bertrand conjectural variations. The econometric specification is applied to each of the two digit Australian manufacturing industries using quarterly data covering the period from 1984 to 2000. Results of the industrial behaviour indicate that industries that produce consumer products are generally react to price movements The classification of industry 21 to 24 is more proximate to consumer products as compared to higher industrial numbering. The regression results for industry 25 to 28 suggest quantity reactions. This is in line with the nature of the products produce by these industries, which are heavy industrial manufacturing products.The elasticity with respect to foreign price is distinguished between the "partial" and the "total" effect. The partial elasticity of import demand ranges from .6205 to 4.9497, while the total elasticity of import demand ranges from .6505 to 19.8132. The elasticity of demand ranges from .0191 for Wood and Paper Product manufacturing to 3.4093 for Food, Beverage and Tobacco manufacturing.

Abstract:
This thesis consists of an introductory part and three papers. Paper [I] examines how taxes affect consumption of commodities that are detrimental to health and the environment. Specifically, this paper examines if a tax increase leads to a significantly larger change in consumption than a producer price change, which is referred to as the signaling effect from taxation. The analysis uses aggregated cross-sectional time series data and information on major legislation introductions in Sweden, Denmark and the United Kingdom from 1970 to 2009. We find the main result to be that the signaling effect is significant for “Electricity” in Sweden and Denmark and significant for “Electricity” and “Petrol” in the United Kingdom. Paper [II] examines how sin taxation changes long-term consumer behavior regarding commodities which are deemed harmful for both health and the environment. These include tobacco, alcoholic beverages, sugar and confectionary, household energy, and motor fuel. Specifically, we examine the signaling effect from taxation which is seen if a tax increase leads to a significantly larger change in consumption than a producer price change. The empirical analysis is conducted by a US panel data study, during the period 1988-2012 for the four US census regions, using the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS). We find the main result to be that the signaling effect from taxation is significant for tobacco as well as for electricity and motor fuel.    Paper [III] examines state and industry responses on consumption of cigarettes and petroleum in the United States from 1998-2012. Upon facing consumption choices, the consumer faces two competing sets of messages, one from the government and another from the industry. The objective of the state is to steer consumption in the right direction due to the harmful effects from consumption and asymmetric information among consumers. This is done mainly via taxation and state media expenditures. The industry, on the other hand, seeks to incentivize the public to ignore or reject state research and signals as well as maximizing net economic returns. This is mainly done via industry media and lobbying expenditures. We find that the main results indicate, for cigarettes, industrial media and lobbying expenditure is statistically significant on consumption. For petroleum, we find that producer prices, state media expenditure, and industrial lobbying expenditure are statistically significant on consumption.

Abstract:
O objetivo deste estudo é estudar o sentimento dos consumidores quando confrontados com a discriminação de preços nos mercados de vendas online nomeadamente com recurso a dados pessoais dos consumidores. Esta investigação pretende perceber quais as perspetivas dos consumidores dos mercados de vendas online quando estes se encontram em situação de vantagem e de desvantagem de preços. Propôs-se, também, perceber se a transparência por parte das lojas online seria bem vista pelos consumidores. Para elaborar o estudo foi realizado um questionário destinado a todos os consumidores do mercado de vendas online e, foram recolhidas 212 respostas. Para a análise dos dados recorreu-se à análise estatística da amostra em termos percentuais e ao coeficiente de correlação de Spearman. Constatou-se que os consumidores em desvantagem de preços percecionam a discriminação de preços de forma mais injusta do que os consumidores em vantagem de preços. Os resultados também permitiram verificar que, a confiança em lojas online que discriminam preços é abalada de forma inequívoca em qualquer das situações, porém o mesmo não acontece em relação às intenções de recompra, uma vez que, existem alguns consumidores em vantagem de preços que admitem voltar a comprar na loja online. Não saber quais os comportamentos online que levam a modificar o preço aumenta a perceção de um preço injusto, o mesmo acontecendo com o uso indevido de dados pessoais. A análise estatística permitiu também concluir que na presença de discriminação de preços, a transparência por parte das lojas online seria bastante apreciada pelos consumidores.
The aim of this study is to study consumer sentiment when faced with price discrimination in online sales marketplaces namely using consumers' personal data.This research aims to understand the perspectives of consumers in the online sales market when they are in a situation of price advantage and disadvantage. It is also intended to understand whether transparency from online stores would be well regarded by consumers. To prepare the study, a questionnaire was sent to all consumers in the online sales market, and 212 answers were collected. For the data analysis we used the statistical analysis of the sample in percentage terms and Spearman's correlation coefficient. It was found that consumers at a price disadvantage perceive price discrimination more unfairly than consumers at a price advantage. The results also allowed concluding that trust in online stores that discriminate prices is unequivocally shaken in any of the situations, but the same does not happen in relation to repurchase intentions, since there are some consumers in price advantage who admit buying again at the online store. Not knowing what online behaviors lead to price changes increases the perception of an unfair price, as well as the misuse of personal data in either situation. The statistical analysis also allowed to conclude that in the presence of price discrimination, transparency on the part of online stores would be greatly appreciated by consumers.

News of the illegal dumping of toxic industrial waste(nearly 3000 tons of highly toxic mercury-tainted waste)near a Cambodian port of Sihanoukville by Taiwan’s biggest conglomerate, the Formosa Plastics Group (FPG), was first surfaced in Taiwan’s domestic press on December 16, 1998. Several tests of the waste were done by the independent parties produced a wide range of toxicity levels and determined that the waste materials were contaminated with high levels of mercury as well as a possible hazardous mixture of other metals. This study attempts to examine the relationship between the stock price behavior and the environmental disclosures on this environmental issue among plastics listed companies for which necessary data are available. This research adopts event study methodology and observes both short-window and long-window effects. The empirical results are: (1) For the short-window, both FPG and the plastic industry had negative stock price reaction upon the announcement of illegal dumping event; (2) For the long-window, the cumulative abnormal returns of plastics industry are positive but not significant statistically. (3) The consecutive environmental disclosures in the Annual Reports of plastics public companies had negative stock return on this environmental issue.

Abstract:
The early years of the British Industrial Revolution were dominated by mechanical innovations in cotton spinning. They emerged at a time when raw cotton prices were unprecedentedly high and the supply of all-cotton fabrics from India, the world’s principal producer of cotton textiles, had contracted dramatically. Most «cotton» textiles manufactured in Britain in the mid-18th century were combinations of expensive cotton yarn and cheap linen yarn. Faced with rising material costs, manufacturers economised by increasing the proportion of cheaper linen yarn. The most fashionable cotton products were, however, made entirely from cotton, or required a fixed proportion of cotton yarn. As the cost of cotton rose, their rapidly rising sales provided the principal inducement to improve quality and cut costs by inventing machines for spinning cotton yarn.

Abstract:
AbstractThis final chapter draws out more substantive answers to strengthen the civic body against the harms arising from the optimisation of datafied emotion, as the bandwidth for the datafication, and optimisation, of emotion expands beyond web-based platforms to include bodies through biometrics. First, the chapter teases out core shifts discernable from a backward glance. This identifies that, while false information, emotion, profiling and targeting are hardly new phenomena in citizen-political communications, the scale of contemporary profiling is unprecedented. As such, a prime site of concern is the automated industrial psycho-physiological profiling of the civic body to understand affect and infer emotion for the purposes of changing behaviour. Exploring this through three scenarios, the chapter looks to near-horizon futures. This is an important angle given the rapid onset, scale and nature of contemporary false information online, the rising tide of deployment of emotional analytics across all life contexts and the likely greater role that biometrics will play in everyday life. Peeking over the horizon line distils a core protective principle of protecting individual and collective mental integrity. This is necessary to strengthen the civic body to withstand false information in a future where optimised emotion has become commonplace.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter proposes a spatial perspective on the analysis of social change in the making via a study of artisanal and small-scale gold-mining sites in Guinea based on twenty-two months of fieldwork between 2011 and 2019 in the region of Upper Guinea, where increasing numbers of inhabitants have been circulating between artisanal and small-scale mining sites to search for gold since the price of gold rose between 2008 and 2012. The chapter starts by discussing artisanal and small-scale mining spaces through the notion of hotspots of transition, insisting on their liminal character. This liminality is analyzed as a spatial framework in which new opportunities emerge regarding gender—women’s adoption of what is considered masculine behavior, for instance—and where instantaneity is more privileged than continuity in some actions, such as those associated with consumption. More generally, it shows how the potential for change in artisanal and small-scale mining spaces is closely linked to their ephemeral nature. The relationship between space and temporality is more explicitly discussed in the second part of the chapter, which explores how the ephemerality of artisanal and small-scale mining spaces has recently been challenged by the Guinean government’s move to control mining mobility and fix mining sites spatially by delimiting legal mining territories. Since 2015–2016, multiple military operations have been conducted to expel miners from land for which the Guinean State has given industrial companies legal permits to prospect for and mine gold. This part of the chapter analyzes the socio-spatial consequences of this situation and shows that perceptions of time and of social change are constructed by the forms that space take.

Full text
Abstract:
Austenitic stainless steels require approximately 8% Ni to maintain austenitic microstructure at room temperature for alloys such as 304 stainless steel (304SS). Ni contributes approximately 60% of the total material cost and its price fluctuates, making the cost of austenitic stainless steel unpredictable. The use of low-nickel austenitic stainless steels as a substitute has been considered in order to remedy costs associated with Ni price fluctuations. Alloying elements such as Mn and N have been considered, however they have been found to reduce corrosion resistance. A new alloy namely Hercules™ has been developed with reduced Ni content (1.8–2% Ni). This chapter presents a comparative study of the corrosion behavior of Hercules™ and 304SS in different solutions. The alloys were evaluated using cyclic polarisation technique and immersion tests. The results demonstrated that the corrosion resistance of Hercules™ is comparable to that of 304SS. This presents the alloys as potential industrial substitutes of each other.

Abstract:
Central America is an interesting region for developing business, and its proximity to South and North America makes the isthmus a strategic region for growth. Guatemala is seen as an emerging economy with the capacity for growth and expansion. The cement industry is now one of the most competitive industries in Central America and has expanded to different countries in the region. However, this was not the case in 1999 when the Mexican Firm Cruz Azul entered via a price predation strategy into the Guatemalan market. Game theory demonstrates the advantage of price predation and the rational decision-making behind the strategy, and also demonstrates that a business smaller than its competitors can win a price predation battle by cooperating. The analysis is based on the dissertation by Garita (2008).

Abstract:
This chapter summarizes the book's main arguments. It sketches an overview of an analytical foundation for designing policy toward coordinated price elevation in oligopolistic industries, at the same time arguing for a straightforward approach to the issue. Systematic comparison with a more direct, functional approach reveals conventional means to be inferior and in important respects counterproductive in cases without smoking-gun evidence. In those settings, a direct approach dominates the conventionally favored communications-based prohibition in that the former targets situations that involve both greater social harm and less risk of chilling desirable behavior than those most likely to generate liability under the latter. The direct approach is also less difficult to administer, contrary to conventional wisdom.

Abstract:
This chapter explains how cultural capital affects the competitiveness of Indonesia's Cibaduyut footwear cluster. Cultural capital are norms and values affecting community behaviour that in turn affect cluster innovation, market share, and productivity. Small family businesses with a long tradition of stability and pursuing family interests dominate the cluster. Consequently, despite strong norms and values emphasizing working hard and honesty, (in)formal cluster rules promote self-interest rather than collective action. This results in a non-innovative business-as-usual attitude, hampers collective investments in human resource development and the adoption of new production technologies, leaving the cluster with low productivity and inferior product quality, restricting it to domestic markets. It also leaves the small business vulnerable to large trading companies on which they depend for international market access. The pursuit of low prices rather than quality plays small firms against each other, thus further hampering innovation and restricting the cluster's ability to expand internationally.

Abstract:
The article aims to study green marketing practices and to identify what determines green marketing orientation for a company. A questionnaire-based survey method was adopted for the data collection from 220 companies in India. The data were analyzed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Further, the proposed hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling. Product design innovations, responsible sourcing, recycling practices, price setting behaviour, ethical standards, responsible advertising, green communication practices, building green product credibility and consumer engagement practices were identified as core green marketing practices that determine green marketing orientation. Results of the study offer the elements of green marketing mix and a broad understanding of green marketing orientation. The study is limited for not making substantial inferences between different industries or specific company types. Results of the study enable green marketers to understand the ways of developing environmental orientation of their marketing activities aimed to produce profitable exchanges through increased levels of adaptation to the market. The study makes significant contribution in developing multi-disciplinary approach for conceptual development in green marketing and is one of its own kinds to study green marketing orientation.

Abstract:
The development of populated centers has as a consequence the corresponding increase of the consumption of resources, first of all of the consumption of energy necessary for the transport of the additional flows of water. Their often-limited character materializes the desire to redistribute existing resources in time and space, in accordance with the requirements of the uses served. The widespread introduction, due to competitive prices, of composite pipes, but for which there is insufficient information on their behavior over time, has led to the need to research the sustainability and reliability of new systems in development for water transport. This chapter aims to provide an efficient tool for those interested in managing water supply systems with direct reference to the reliability and sustainability of water transport systems: supply and distribution networks.

Abstract:
Consumers have started looking for non-traditional types of beer with a specific taste and aroma usually offered by craft breweries. These breweries are characterized by brewing various beer specialties from special types of hops and yeasts. They differ from industrial breweries by brewing technology, production volume and the duration of the beer production process. This paper evaluates the development of beer consumption and describes consumer preferences with an emphasis on craft beer in the Slovak Republic. We analyzed the development of beer consumption per capita in Slovakia in the period from 2010 to 2019. For collecting data related to consumer behavior, we used a questionnaire which was realized on the sample of 281 respondents. We examined dependencies between places of beer consumption, factors affecting beer purchasing, consumer preferences with emphasis on craft beer consumption and selected demographic characteristics using different statistical methods. Domestic and foreign craft beer from small breweries is more preferred by men and by consumers living in cities with more than 20,000 inhabitants. It is most popular among respondents in the age category from 26 to 40 years. Usually, the price of craft beer is higher than the price of beer produced by industrial breweries. We assume that consumers from 26 to 40 years old are the most economically active and therefore they can afford to consume more expensive beer. Due to changes in consumer preferences and lifestyles, we anticipate an increasing interest in the consumption of craft beer. Changing consumer habits can generate new opportunities in the beer market and initiate to production of innovative products.

Abstract:
Intense competition in industrial markets leads to constant changes in consumer behavior. Difficult pricing negotiations and abuse of power make it difficult for participants to interact in sales management. Taking these facts into account, it should be noted that for the sales manager, price becomes an indicator of success in the end result of negotiations. At the same time, surveys of heads of sales departments in the industrial sector show that, among other important elements of negotiations, are the duration of the business relationship, the reputation of the supplier. Despite these tendencies, questions remain about other factors that can consciously or unconsciously influence the negotiation situation, both in a positive and negative direction. The research results were carried out in accordance with the order of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation of March 20, 2020 No. 0564 / o "On the organization of the implementation of the second stage of fundamental research works carried out within the framework of the state assignment in 2020." on the topic "Theory of consumer behavior in the modern economy".

Abstract:
Nowadays “eco-design” is becoming a philosophy to guide next generation of materials and products as global environmental issue produced by fossil fuels and resource overusing. With an industrial increasing interest in sustainable, eco-efficient and green material’s application, natural fiber in polymer composite is guided to develop rapidly. As well know that, natural fibers possess advantages over synthetic or manmade fibers due to its abundance, biodegradability, CO2 neutrality, excellent price/performance ratio and comparable specific strength properties. However, outdoor applications of natural fiber composite are still constrained and raising concerns in terms of their durability, including UV resistance, moisture resistance and extreme temperature withstand and dimensional stability. Continuing with previous research on kenaf non-woven reinforced unsaturated polyester composites three months degradation performance, in order to get a good knowledge of its degradation process/cycle in complicated outdoor environments, longer degradation periods up to 6 months and 12 months in this paper were added for further investigation and comparison. Initially, three sets of kenaf fiber mat composite samples were located in extreme cold temperature (Harbin), mild sea climate Kyoto (Japan), subtropical marine monsoon climate Shanghai (China) and tropical monsoon climate Zaria (Nigeria) respectively from the same starting time until predetermined ageing periods, afterwards weight change and mechanical behavior in terms of tensile, flexural, impact and fracture toughness were measured instrumentally for ageing effect discussion and comparison. As expected, the aged specimens in those different positions all showed the dropped mechanical properties with increasing ageing periods. Furthermore, the trend of degradation in various mechanical parameters was established, which demonstrated weight loss made more serious effect on aged sample’s mechanical properties’ reduction than water absorption behavior. In a word, dropped mechanical properties of the degraded composites accompanied with weight change behavior were clarified, in which degradation phenomenon of embrittled the matrix polymer, deteriorated reinforced fiber and interfacial properties were detected.

Abstract:
In spite of popularity of the Gaussian distribution in financial modeling, we demonstrated that Levy’s stable distribution is more suitable due to its theoretical reasons and analysis results. We study the possibility of construction indicators- precursors relying on one of the most power-law tailed distributions - Levy’s stable distribution. Here, we apply moving window based procedure for calculation of Levy’s parameters - a - stability and /?- skewness for daily values of Dow Jones Industrial Average (from 1 March 2000 to 28 March 2019), the gold price (from 1 April 1968 to 8 May 2019) and Brent crude oil price (from 2 January 1986 to 6 May 2019) which show their effectiveness as indicators of crisis states. For the construction of the indicators, were selected time series of and, accordingly, for oil. Dow Jones’ time series has the period from 2 January 1920 to 2019. We conclude that a and /3 parameters of Levy’s stable distribution of the observed assets, which demonstrate characteristic behavior for crash and critical states, can serve as an indicator-precursors of the unstable states.
