a brief technical critique of ehlig Economides and Economides 2010 sequestering carbon dioxide in a closed underground volume
2010Co-Authors: James J Dooley, Casie L DavidsonAbstract:In their 2010 paper, “Sequestering Carbon Dioxide in a Close Underground Volume,” authors Ehlig-Economides and Economides assert that “underground carbon dioxide sequestration via bulk CO2 injection is not feasible at any cost.” The authors base this conclusion on a number of assumptions that the peer reviewed technical literature and decades of carbon dioxide (CO2) injection experience have proven invalid. In particular, the paper is built upon two flawed premises: first, that effective CO2 storage requires the presence of complete structural closure bounded on all sides by impermeable media, and second, that any other storage system is guaranteed to leak. These two assumptions inform every aspect of the authors’ analyses, and without them, the paper fails to prove its conclusions. The assertion put forward by Ehlig-Economides and Economides that anthropogenic CO2 cannot be stored in deep geologic formations is refuted by even the most cursory examination of the more than 25 years of accumulated commercial carbon dioxide capture and storage experience.

emerging multinationals from mid range economies the influence of institutions and factor markets
Journal of Management Studies, 2013Co-Authors: Robert E. Hoskisson, Mike Wright, Igor Filatotchev, Mike W. PengAbstract:This paper revisits and extends our earlier work (in 2005) in the pages of this journal. We argue that there is a need for more fine-grained understanding of the country context along two dimensions: (1) institutional development and (2) infrastructure and factor market development. Specifically, we propose an enriched typology of emerging economies with a focus on mid-range emerging economies, which are positioned between traditional emerging economies and newly developed economies. Then we examine new multinationals from these mid-range emerging economies that have internationalized both regionally and globally. We outline directions for further research based on this typology in terms of (1) government influence, (2) resource orchestration, (3) market entry, and (4) corporate governance regarding the internationalization strategy of these emerging multinationals from mid-range economies.

strategy research in emerging economies challenging the conventional wisdom
Journal of Management Studies, 2005Co-Authors: Mike Wright, Robert E. Hoskisson, Igor Filatotchev, Mike W. PengAbstract:This review and introduction to the Special Issue on 'Strategy Research in Emerging Economies' considers the nature of theoretical contributions thus far on strategy in emerging economies. We classify the research through four strategic options: (1) firms from developed economies entering emerging economies; (2) domestic firms competing within emerging economies; (3) firms from emerging economies entering other emerging economies; and (4) firms from emerging economies entering developed economies. Among the four perspectives examined (institutional theory, transaction cost theory, resource-based theory, and agency theory), the most dominant seems to be institutional theory. Most existing studies that make a contribution blend institutional theory with one of the other three perspectives, including seven out of the eight papers included in this Special Issue. We suggest a future research agenda based around the four strategies and four theoretical perspectives. Given the relative emphasis of research so far on the first and second strategic options, we believe that there is growing scope for research that addresses the third and fourth.

an explanation of firms internationalisation modes blending firm heterogeneity and spatial agglomeration microevidence from italy
Environment and Planning A, 2014Co-Authors: Giulio Cainelli, Eleonora Di Maria, Roberto GanauAbstract:This paper uses a large sample of Italian manufacturing firms over the period 2004–06, to investigate whether different types of agglomeration economies affect firms’ internationalisation choices. The main novelty of the work consists in linking the hypothesis of firm heterogeneity to the literature on agglomeration economies to explain firms’ approaches and forms of internationalisation. We analyse two types of agglomeration economies: localisation economies and related variety. Our analyses show that the higher the firm’s productivity level, the higher the probability it will engage in more complex modes of internationalisation and that localisation economies and related variety positively affect export but not the firm’s multinational strategy. We check the robustness of our results using a two-stage instrumental-variable multinomial logit model in order to control for potential endogeneity of agglomeration variables. Keywords: internationalisation, spatial agglomeration, related variety, firm heterogeneity

A knowledge based freight management decision support system incorporating economies of scale: multimodal minimum cost flow optimization approach
Information Technology and Management, 2016Co-Authors: Nam Seok Kim, Byungkyu Park, Kang Dae LeeAbstract:This study developed a framework incorporating economies of scale into the multimodal minimum cost flow problem. To properly account for the economies of scale observed in practice, we explicitly modelled economies of scale on quantity, distance and vehicle size in a given multimodal freight network. The proposed multimodal minimum cost flow problem formulation has concave equations due to economies of scale for quantity, non-linear equations due to economies of scale for both quantity and distance, and non-continuous equations due to the economies of scale for vehicle size. A genetic algorithm was applied to find acceptable route, mode, and vehicle size choices for the multimodal minimum cost flow problem. We demonstrated how the economies of scale influenced system (mode), route choices, and total cost under various demand/service capacity scenarios. Our results will lead into more realistic assessments of intermodal system by explicitly considering the three types of economies of scale.
