Analyzing and visualizing the synergistic impact mechanisms of climate change related costs
Halkos, G. E.; Tsilika, K. D. (2014)One climate related phenomenon could affect many more. The direct costs associated to climate related factors pass to a number of other climate related costs through the indirect economic consequences of climate change. ... -
Analyzing the Greek renewable energy sector: A Data Envelopment Analysis approach
Halkos, G. E.; Tzeremes, N. G. (2012)This paper applies a bootstrapped Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) formulation aiming to evaluate the financial performance of the firms operating in the Greek renewable energy sector. With the use of financial ratios in a ... -
The Athenian economy in the age of Demosthenes: path dependence and change
Halkos, G. E.; Kyriazis, N. C. (2010)In this paper, we formulate for the first time the Persian-Athenian conflict of the fifth century as a signaling game. A specific approach to path dependence and regime change is presented. Following the successful outcome ... -
Behavioural and fundamental explanations of discounts on closed end funds: An empirical analysis
Halkos, G. E.; Krintas, T. N. (2006)This study extracts two factors related to the variability of Premium/ Discount: a behavioural and a fundamental. Evidence is provided to show that by using both factors one can achieve a better understanding of discounts ... -
Carbon dioxide emissions and governance: A nonparametric analysis for the G-20
Halkos, G. E.; Tzeremes, N. G. (2013)This paper applies nonparametric estimators to examine the carbon dioxide emissions-governance relationship. By using data for the twenty largest economies (Group of twenty, G-20) the dynamics of the considered relationship ... -
Climate change actions for sustainable development
Halkos, G. E. (2015)This paper presents the dimensions of climate change problem and its economic effects. Climate change is a global externality resulting to market failure as pollution sources, in most of the cases, do not take into ... -
A comparison of alternative unit root tests
Halkos, G. E.; Kevork, I. S. (2005)In this paper we evaluate the performance of three methods for testing the existence of a unit root in a time series, when the models under consideration in the null hypothesis do not display autocorrelation in the error ... -
Computational techniques for stability analysis of a class of dynamic economic models
Halkos, G. E.; Tsilika, K. D. (2012)Modern microeconomics and macroeconomics study dynamic phenomena. Dynamics could predict future states of an economy based on its structural characteristics. Dynamic models in discrete time discrete state economic systems ... -
A conditional directional distance function approach for measuring regional environmental efficiency: Evidence from UK regions
Halkos, G. E.; Tzeremes, N. G. (2013)This paper, by using conditional directional distance functions as introduced by Simar and Vanhems [J. Econometrics 166 (2012) 342-354] modifies the model by Fare and Grosskopf [Eur. J. Operat. Res. 157 (2004) 242-245] and ... -
A conditional nonparametric analysis for measuring the efficiency of regional public healthcare delivery: An application to Greek prefectures
Halkos, G. E.; Tzeremes, N. G. (2011)Objectives: The purpose of this study is to measure the Greek public healthcare delivery efficiency from a regional perspective by applying conditional nonparametric models. Methods: The study reviews the existing literature ... -
Constructing abatement cost curves for f-gases
Halkos, G. E. (2013)Scientific research on Greenhouse Gases (GHG) focuses mainly on CO2 emissions. But non- CO2 gases (mainly F-gases in the form of HFCs, PFCs, SF6) are more potent at trapping heat within the atmosphere. Currently, F-gases ... -
Corruption and Economic Efficiency: Panel Data Evidence
Halkos, G. E.; Tzeremes, N. G. (2010)This paper investigates empirically the effect of corruption on countries' economic efficiency. By using a sample of 79 countries for the time period 2000-2006 the paper applies DEA window analysis and econometric panel ... -
Cost-Effectiveness analysis in reducing nutrient loading in baltic and black seas: A review
Halkos, G. E.; Galani, G. K. (2014)Eutrophication represents a global environmental pressure that necessitates international co-operation and the diffusion of information to avoid information asymmetries; the construction of an appropriate legislative ... -
Critical values for testing a unit root in finite samples from the MA(1)
Halkos, G. E.; Kevork, I. S. (2007)This study, using a certain simulation strategy, for the exact maximum likelihood estimator of theta from the MA( 1), estimates appropriate percentiles, together with their standard errors, offering a new set of critical ... -
The culture of corruption: A nonparametric analysis
Halkos, G. E.; Tzeremes, N. G. (2012)By using a sample of 77 countries the analysis applies several nonparametric techniques in order to reveal the link between national culture and corruption, Based on Hofstede s cultural dimensions and the corruption ... -
Determinants of environmental management systems standards implementation: Evidence from Greek industry
Halkos, G. E.; Evangelinos, K. I. (2002)This paper employs logistic regression analysis to test a model that predicts the implementation or non-implementation of Environmental Management Systems Standards (EMSSs) by considering various factors as explanatory ... -
