| model y price history 2023: Modeling Practice and Mechanism Design of Green Energy Systems towards Sustainable Development Jianli Zhou, Lirong Liu, Meiheriayi Mutailipu, Shuai Geng, Shenbo Yang, Ting Zhang, 2025-03-12 The sustainable development of energy has become a global concern. The energy system, as an extremely important module for production, conversion, transmission, and supply in the energy industry, is facing pressure from deep decarbonization and green transformation. The application of wind power, photovoltaic, hydrogen energy, power-to-gas (P2G) technology, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology will help the energy system achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Hydrogen energy will become a bridge for various energy conversion, promoting the high-speed flow of green energy. Therefore, modeling practice and mechanism design for green energy systems will become a key area of academic research. The full utilization and consumption of renewable energy generation (e.g., wind and photovoltaic) still face difficulties and challenges, especially the problem of full consumption. The development and layout of multi-energy complementarity, coupling and interaction, and collaborative integrated energy systems can effectively solve the above problems. Therefore, there is an urgent need to study the mechanism, planning and design, optimized operation, development mode, carbon emission reduction, energy policies, and trading mechanisms of integrated energy systems coupled with renewable energy generation and hydrogen energy, to promote its further development and help achieve a clean and sustainable future. This field will integrate the knowledge and methodology from energy science, power electronics, management science and economics. |
| model y price history 2023: The Political Economy of Elites in Latin America Jan Ickler, Rebeca Ramos Padrón, 2024-12-31 Recent years have seen renewed interest in elites around the world, and their interconnection with power, privilege, social stratification, and social change. The contributors to this edited volume explore the many facets of the role of elites in the political economy of Latin America: their position within society, their impact upon the economy, and their influence within governing institutions. The book demonstrates that in Latin America, as in many other parts of the world, structural change and movements toward more just, inclusive, and sustainable societies seem impossible without the involvement of elites at some level. This raises important questions: Under what conditions do elites push for reform? How do elites react to societal and economic challenges and changes? To what extent can popular classes successfully pressure elites? Bringing together a selection of case studies covering different Latin American countries, the book focuses on three key themes to address these questions: first, it explores how elites react to economic and societal challenges with some chapters looking at moments of change, as well as measures taken by individual elites to alter the status quo. Second, it seeks to understand the interrelation between external and domestic factors that engender elite action including global markets, geopolitics, state institutions, social forces, and the internal structure of elite groups. Third, it reflects upon methodological questions of studying elites in Latin America, laying bare the potential pitfalls and offering possible routes to further inquiry. This book will be vital reading for researchers in political economy, development economics, economic sociology, and Latin American studies more broadly. |
| model y price history 2023: Reconsidering the Limits to Growth Viktor Sadovnichy, Askar Akaev, Ilya Ilyin, Sergey Malkov, Leonid Grinin, Andrey Korotayev, 2023-09-25 Echoing the famous The Limits to Growth report from 1972, this edited volume analyses the changes that the World System has undergone to the present, on the fiftieth anniversary of the original report. During the past fifty years, both the concept and understanding of these limits have significantly changed. This book highlights that the evolution of the World System has approached a new critical milestone, moving into a fundamentally new phase of historical development, when the old economic and social technologies no longer work as efficiently as before or even begin to function counterproductively, which leads the World System into a systemic crisis. The book discusses the transition of human society to a new phase state, the shape of which has not yet been determined. New approaches are needed for both, for the analysis of the global situation, and for forecasts. The book is based on an integrated approach including the world-systems, historical and evolutionary perspectives, as well as a systematic view of society, in which changes in one subsystem cause transformations in others. Through mathematical modeling, it defines the main vectors of transformations of the World System; makes a detailed forecast of the development of all the main subsystems of the society and the World System, while presenting horizons of changes from short-term to ultra-long-term; and presents different development scenarios as well as recommendations on how to achieve a transition to the most favorable scenario. The book will appeal to members and followers of the Club of Rome, policy-makers, as well as to scholars from various disciplines interested in a better understanding of the World System evolution, global futures, development studies, climate change, and future societies. |

| model y price history 2023: Slavery and Capitalism David McNally, 2025-09-02 The first systematic Marxist account of the capitalist character of Atlantic slavery. Karl Marx’s writings on enslavement and labor have fallen out of favor among historians, but David McNally injects new life into them. Slavery and Capitalism gives the first systematic Marxist account of the capitalist character of Atlantic slavery—using colonial travel literature, planter records and diaries, and slave narratives—to support the provocative claim for enslaved labor in the plantation system as capitalist commodity production. Weaving together history, political economy, and radical abolitionism, McNally demonstrates that plantation slaves formed a modern working class. Unlike those scholars who insist that enslaved people were too sensible to set their sights on liberty, he highlights the self-activity of enslaved people fighting for their freedom and reframes their resistance as labor struggles over production and reproduction, with significant implications for US and Atlantic history and for understanding the roots of racial capitalism. |

| model y price history 2023: How Low Interest Rates Change the World Jesper Rangvid, 2025-02-26 How Low Interest Rates Change the World explores the societal impact of changing interest rates. Taking its starting point in the remarkable four-decade decline in global interest rates from 1980 to 2020, the book examines five global trends it caused, the underlying factors that drove interest rates lower, and emerging trends likely to shape the future path of interest rates. The book contends that the steady decline in interest rates around the world from 1980 to 2020 played a pivotal role in shaping five significant global trends during the same period: soaring debt levels, escalating housing prices, surging stock markets, widening economic inequality, and increased financial risk-taking. The book also explores emerging factors likely to shape the future trajectory of interest rates. While demographic trends may keep rates low, other forces, such as rising public debt, can push them higher. The book offers its perspective on the interaction of these opposing trends, and presents its view on the future evolution of interest rates. How Low Interest Rates Change the World is a no-nonsense fact-based book written in plain language. A key feature of the book is its empirical approach and reliance on data. Figures and tables richly illustrate and support the arguments presented, thereby inviting a broad audience to follow its fascinating journey into the evolution of interest rates and their impact. |

| model y price history 2023: Jilya Tracy Westerman, 2024-09-03 From humble beginnings in the remote Pilbara, psychologist and Nyamal woman Tracy Westerman has redefined what' s possible at every turn. Despite neither of her parents progressing past primary school, and never having met a psychologist before attending university, Tracy was the first Aboriginal person in Australia to complete a PhD in Clinical Psychology, rising to become one of the country' s foremost psychologists. Against significant odds, she commenced her own private business to challenge the way the mental health profession responds to cultural difference, and recently established a charitable foundation and scholarship program to mentor Indigenous people from our highest-risk communities to become psychologists. Tracy draws on client stories of trauma, heartbreak, hope and connection from her years of practice, offering a no-holds-barred reflection on how the monocultural, one-size-fits-all approach to psychology is failing Aboriginal people and how she' s healing those wounds. Jilya is a story of drive and determination, of what it takes to create change when the odds are stacked against you. Above all, it is a story of one woman' s love for her people. |

Arranged around five key themes – Fiscal and Military Capacity, Military Spending, Economic Effects of War, War and Institutions, and Business and War – this handbook features contributions from an international range of scholars, on varying methodological approaches, theories, and geographical arenas. Encompassing a range of disciplinary approaches, the main focus is on how economic history can provide insights into the societal impact of war, addressing issues such as how war preparations and arms races affect government spending, the direct economic effects of war, and how societies adjust to the economic realities of rearmament and recovery. This volume also explores whether wars change or alter institutions such as governments, religion, and democracy. It also looks at what lessons we can learn from the past about military spending, state capacity, and the effects of war on both individual societies and global cooperation. Ultimately, this book provides a broad overview of the methodological, geographical, and multidisciplinary range of the economic history of war and demonstrates how war, economics, institutions, and society are inextricably linked throughout history. |
| model y price history 2023: The Price of Time Edward Chancellor, 2022-08-16 Winner of the 2023 Hayek Book Prize Longlisted for the 2022 Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award A comprehensive and profoundly relevant history of interest from one of the world’s leading financial writers, The Price of Time explains our current global financial position and how we got here In the beginning was the loan, and the loan carried interest. For at least five millennia people have been borrowing and lending at interest. The practice wasn’t always popular—in the ancient world, usury was generally viewed as exploitative, a potential path to debt bondage and slavery. Yet as capitalism became established from the late Middle Ages onwards, denunciations of interest were tempered because interest was a necessary reward for lenders to part with their capital. And interest performs many other vital functions: it encourages people to save; enables them to place a value on precious assets, such as houses and all manner of financial securities; and allows us to price risk. All economic and financial activities take place across time. Interest is often described as the “price of money,” but it is better called the “price of time:” time is scarce, time has value, interest is the time value of money. Over the first two decades of the twenty-first century, interest rates have sunk lower than ever before. Easy money after the global financial crisis in 2007/2008 has produced several ill effects, including the appearance of multiple asset price bubbles, a reduction in productivity growth, discouraging savings and exacerbating inequality, and forcing yield starved investors to take on excessive risk. The financial world now finds itself caught between a rock and a hard place, and Edward Chancellor is here to tell us why. In this enriching volume, Chancellor explores the history of interest and its essential function in determining how capital is allocated and priced. |

| model y price history 2023: Applications of AI for Interdisciplinary Research Sukhpal Singh Gill, 2024-09-13 Applying artificial intelligence (AI) to new fields has made AI and data science indispensable to researchers in a wide range of fields. The proliferation and successful deployment of AI algorithms are fuelling these changes, which can be seen in fields as disparate as healthcare and emerging Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Machine learning techniques, and AI more broadly, are expected to play an ever-increasing role in the modelling, simulation, and analysis of data from a wide range of fields by the interdisciplinary research community. Ideas and techniques from multidisciplinary research are being utilised to enhance AI; hence, the connection between the two fields is a two-way street at a crossroads. Algorithms for inference, sampling, and optimisation, as well as investigations into the efficacy of deep learning, frequently make use of methods and concepts from other fields of study. Cloud computing platforms may be used to develop and deploy several AI models with high computational power. The intersection between multiple fields, including math, science, and healthcare, is where the most significant theoretical and methodological problems of AI may be found. To gather, integrate, and synthesise the many results and viewpoints in the connected domains, refer to it as interdisciplinary research. In light of this, the theory, techniques, and applications of machine learning and AI, as well as how they are utilised across disciplinary boundaries, are the main areas of this research topic.

| model y price history 2023: Decentralised Finance Loïc Sauce, 2025-06-18 Since the inception of Bitcoin in 2009, cryptoassets and decentralised finance (DeFi) have become a multi-trillion-dollar industry, with a growing number of users, entrepreneurs, investment funds and institutional investors all over the world. This has led to understandably high levels of attention from scholars, the media, and policymakers, but much of the writing on decentralised finance is polarised or polemical. In contrast, this book provides a balanced, scholarly and sober assessment of broad questions about the very existence and purposes of decentralised finance. Drawing largely on the Austrian school of economics, particularly the ideas of Hayek and Lachmann, the book explores the stated aims of proponents of decentralised finance, particularly the goals of having decentralised governance and financial inclusion in an anonymous environment with low entry and exit barriers. Prioritising the theoretical and political aspects of decentralised finance over the financial or technological, the book considers whether these aims are realistic and whether decentralised finance can complement or substitute traditional financial mechanisms ('TradFi'). This book will be of valuable reading for economists, political scientists and policymakers, who are engaging with these key issues around cryptocurrencies and decentralised finance. |

| model y price history 2023: The Elements and Dynamic Systems of Economic Growth and Trade Models Bjarne S. Jensen, 2025-04-15 This updated and expanded book examines the fundamentals of economic growth models as expressed by dynamic systems of nonlinear differential equations. With homogeneous dynamic systems as the unifying mathematical framework, the time paths and long-run stability properties of the solutions to classical, neoclassical, and modern macroeconomic growth models are analyzed. The general structure and solutions of two-sector and multi-sector growth models are also explored, with special attention given to the evolution of output compositions and sectoral factor allocations involved in Walrasian general equilibrium dynamics. Ramsey optimal growth (saving) models with variable intertemporal substitution (non-homothetic utility) are discussed to demonstrate the ability to generate a realistic historically observed evolution of economic per capita growth rates and saving rates. The book aims to highlight how basic economic growth models can be extended widely, including international trading economies, world market prices, commodity trade patterns, and issues related to globalization, migrations, and international factor movements. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in economic growth and trade policy. |

| model y price history 2023: Territorial Spatial Evolution Process and its Ecological Resilience Xiao Ouyang, Xue-Chao Wang, Salvador Garcia-Ayllon Veintimilla, Juergen Pilz, 2024-02-09 The evolution of land space demonstrates the shift of land use types from natural and semi-natural land (e.g., forest land and cropland) to built-up land, altering ecosystem cycling patterns and leading to degradation of ecosystem services in terms of regulation, provisioning and support. At the same time, production and living space crowding out ecological space brings high potential threats, such as soil erosion, forest productivity decline and habitat fragmentation. Accordingly, in response to the problems of imbalanced territorial space development, inefficient resource utilization and ecological environment degradation, how to improve the diversity, stability and sustainability of ecosystems is an urgent issue to promote modernization and green development in the new era of territorial space evolution. |
