TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided a stochastic framework to estimate the increase of expected damages with sea level rise as well as with meteorological changes and demonstrate the application to two case studies.
Abstract: [1] While sea level rise is one of the most likely consequences of climate change, the provoked costs remain highly uncertain. Based on a block-maxima approach, we provide a stochastic framework to estimate the increase of expected damages with sea level rise as well as with meteorological changes and demonstrate the application to two case studies. In addition, the uncertainty of the damage estimations due to the stochastic nature of extreme events is studied. Starting with the probability distribution of extreme flood levels, we calculate the distribution of implied damages in a specific region employing stage-damage functions. Universal relations of the expected damages and their standard deviation, which demonstrate the importance of the shape of the damage function, are provided. We also calculate how flood protection reduces the damages leading to a more complex picture, where the extreme value behavior plays a fundamental role.

TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element model in conjunction with stochastic number program that can automatically specify random damages of various extents is developed to evaluate the effect of random damages on both natural frequencies and mode shapes.
Abstract: Random damages in the core or face/core interface often appears during fabrication or application of metallic sandwich panels with truss core, and may significantly affect the dynamic behavior of the sandwich panel. Two types of evaluation parameters, i.e., global parameters and local parameters, are used to evaluate the effect of random damages. A finite element model in conjunction with stochastic number program that can automatically specify random damages of various extents is developed. Experiments were conducted to verify the proposed analytic model and technique. Three factors affecting dynamic properties of the damaged sandwich are considered, including damage extent, boundary condition and damage zone. Results show that variations of structural dynamic property are in proportional to the damage extent and the concentration degree of random damages, and increases as the constraint of boundary condition is enhanced. Effects of random damages on both natural frequencies and mode shapes are usually in accordance. Damages in the zone covering structural local vibration modes or maximal vibration amplitude would have greater influences on natural frequencies and mode shapes than damages in other zones.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the features of the Directive and the challenges it poses for its implementation by Member States, and assess the impact of this Directive on the enforcement of competition law.
Abstract: Directive EU/2014/104 is the latest legal instrument that crystalizes the evolution of EU competition law enforcement. This paper assesses critically the features of the Directive and the challenges it poses for its implementation by Member States. The Directive codifies the case law of the EUCJ and it encroaches upon the autonomy of Member States in setting the institutions, remedies and procedures available for victims’ of antitrust infringements. Although the Directive provides a fragmented and incomplete set of rules that only partially harmonizes antitrust damages claims in the EU, and it’s slanted towards follow-on cartel damages claims, it has publicised the availability of damages claims, creating momentum that will transform how competition law is enforced in the future.

TL;DR: The paper as discussed by the authors confirms the Commission's thinking that neither of these two models can be used in the European Parliament's work, and is accompanied by a detailed impact assessment, which confirms the conclusions of the Commission.
Abstract: As foreshadowed in debates before the European Parliament on this topic, the Paper is accompanied by a detailed impact assessment. The Paper confirms the Commission's thinking that neither…

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a framework for assessing the costs and benefits of different remedies, particularly divestitures, in monopolization cases involving network industries and argue that those proposals leave open important questions that must be answered before divestiture can be shown to be either the best remedy or to create likely net gains in economic welfare.
Abstract: The landmark Microsoft case raises challenging questions concerning antitrust remedies. In this Article, we propose a framework for assessing the costs and benefits of different remedies, particularly divestiture, in monopolization cases involving network industries. Our approach can assist a court or enforcement agency not only in analyzing the welfare effects of divestiture, but also in choosing more generally among alternative kinds of remedies. The framework would, for example, apply to a court's choice between damages and injunctive remedies or between behavioral injunctions and structural injunctions. After developing our framework, we apply it to the divestiture proposals made by the government and others in the Microsoft case. We argue that those proposals leave open important questions that must be answered before divestiture can be shown to be either the best remedial alternative or to create likely net gains in economic welfare.
