An Event Study of the Ethereum Transition to Proof-of-Stake

Elie Kapengut, Bruce Mizrach · 29 Mar 2023

On 15 September 2022, the Ethereum network adopted a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. We study the impact on the network and competing platforms in a two month event window around the Beacon chain merge. We find that the transition to PoS has reduced energy consumption by 99.98%. Miners have not transformed into validators, and total…

The Economic Value of Natural Resources and Its Implications for Pakistan’s Economic Growth

Zar Shah, Khalid Zaman, Haroon ur Rashid Khan et al. · 27 Oct 2022

Natural resources and ecological services provide the foundation for manufactured capital, increasing public financing and decreasing inequality by diversifying the economy. The exploitation of natural resources is frequently the backbone of economic stability in developing and middle-income nations. As a result of their importance, natural resources need vigilant and long-term management. Recent research has tested…

Internet of Things for Crop Farming: A Review of Technologies and Applications

The Internet of Things (IoT) allows the monitoring of crucial environmental parameters such as soil nutrients, moisture, humidity, and temperature. A pre-understanding of these parameters…

Climate Change and Grain Price Volatility: Empirical Evidence for Corn and Wheat 1971–2019

Marie Steen, Olvar Bergland, Ole Gjølberg · 6 Jan 2023

It is widely recognized that climate change makes the weather more erratic. As the combination of temperature and precipitation is a major driver of grain crop productivity, more frequent extreme rainfalls and heat waves, flooding and drought tend to make grain production and hence grain prices more volatile. We analyze daily prices during the growing…

Electricity GANs: Generative Adversarial Networks for Electricity Price Scenario Generation

Bilgi Yilmaz, Christian Laudagé, Ralf Korn et al. · 8 Jul 2024

The dynamic structure of electricity markets, where uncertainties abound due to, e.g., demand variations and renewable energy intermittency, poses challenges for market participants. We propose generative adversarial networks (GANs) to generate synthetic electricity price data. This approach aims to provide comprehensive data that accurately reflect the complexities of the actual electricity market by capturing its…
