Economics of International Environmental Agreements
International environmental agreements provide a basis for countries to address ecological problems on a global scale. However, countries are heterogeneous with respect to their economic structures and to the problems relating to the environment that they encounter. Therefore, economic externalities and global environmental conflicts are common and can cause problems in implementation and compliance with international agreements. Economics of International Environmental Agreements illuminates those issues and factors that might cause some countries or firms to take different positions on common problems. This book explores why international environmental agreements deal with some problems su...
Decision Making Using AI in Energy and Sustainability
Artificial intelligence (AI) has a huge impact on science and technology, including energy, where access to resources has been a source of geopolitical conflicts. AI can predict the demand and supply of renewable energy, optimize efficiency in energy systems, and improve the management of natural energy resources, among other things. This book explores the use of AI tools for improving the management of energy systems and providing sustainability with smart cities, smart facilities, smart buildings, smart transportation, and smart houses. Featuring research from International Federation for Information Processing's (IFIP) “AI in Energy and Sustainability” working group, this book provides new models and algorithms for AI applications in energy and sustainability fields. Any short-term, mid-term and long-term forecasting, optimization models, trend foresights and prescriptions based on scenarios are studied in the energy world and the smart systems for sustainability. The contents of this book are valuable for energy researchers, academics, scholars, practitioners and policy makers.

Artificial Intelligence for Knowledge Management, Energy, and Sustainability
This book features a selection of extended papers presented at the 9th IFIP WG 12.6 International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Knowledge Management, AI4KM 2021, and the 1st International Workshop on Energy and Sustainability, AIES 2021, named AI4KMES 2021 and held in conjunction with IJCAI 2021 in August 2021. The conference was planned to take place in Montréal, Canada, but changed to an online event due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 15 papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 17 submissions. They deal with knowledge management and sustainability challenges, focusing on methodological, technical and organizational aspects of AI used for facing related complex problems. This year's topic was AI for Knowledge Management, Energy and Sustainable Future.
Optimization and Learning
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Optimization and Learning, OLA 2023, held in Malaga, Spain, during May 3–5, 2023. The 32 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 78 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: advanced optimization; learning; learning methods to enhance optimization tools; optimization applied to learning methods; and real-world applications.
Neoliberalism Inequality and Authoritarianism
This book exposes the inherent contradictions of neoliberalism. The myth of limitless growth ignores the reality of resource constraints and fuels a global upward transfer of wealth. Meanwhile, a fractured global economy and intensifying class warfare chip away at neoliberalism's foundation. As inequality spirals and social justice crumbles, the model increasingly serves a privileged few at the expense of the majority. This undermines the Enlightenment ideal of using liberal democracy to improve lives in the age of mass politics, threatening neoliberalism's very survival.
Entrepreneurial Finance at the Dawn of Industry 4.0
The advent of the fourth industrial revolution, Industry 4.0, brings about both opportunities and challenges that are likely to set developed economies even farther apart from emerging economies. This book, through the perspective of researchers in the emerging markets, presents analyses on a number of issues important to entrepreneurial finance, such as debt financing, mergers and acquisitions, stock market efficiency, resource allocation and consumption, and sustainable development. It aims at improving our understanding of the financing needs as well as the financial risks involved in entrepreneurial endeavors in less developed settings in the new era.
