Full-scale utilization of geothermal energy: A high-efficiency CO2 hybrid cogeneration system with low-temperature waste heat

The utilization of geothermal energy is becoming increasingly important in the current transition towards sustainable energy sources. Among the various methods of utilizing geothermal energy, the use of hybrid geothermal power plants that exploit CO2 fluid for preheating in electricity generation has been identified as an attractive approach. Additionally, the shallow ground source heat pump (SGSHP) has been proven to be superior in previous experimental studies. However, the full-scale utilization of geothermal energy, through generating electricity from geothermal power plants and applying waste heat with SGSHPs for auxiliary heating, needs further exploration. This study proposes a novel CO2 hybrid geothermal system that incorporates a GSHP heating system. The hybrid geothermal system uses CO2 as the underground working fluid, and the electricity and waste heat are used to assist the GSHP for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. The proposed system can produce 11.41 MW of electricity, 80 °C of hot water, and 34.76 MW of cold energy by driving 50 MW of the geothermal heat. Through a comprehensive analysis of the economy, energy, exergy, and environment, the results demonstrate that the maximum exergy damage of the refrigeration power cycle is 37999.33 kW, which has the highest exergy losses. The exergy loss of the steam turbine heat power conversion in the geothermal power generation process is the highest, but this loss can be effectively reduced through heat integration. The optimal cooling temperature of the coupled system should be set at 8 °C, and it has a good investment prospect. In summary, the CO2 hybrid geothermal system can realize effective cogeneration and fully utilize geothermal energy. Therefore, it has great potential to contribute to the transition towards a sustainable energy future.

An Study of Portfolio Selection Based on Luxury Goods

Portfolio optimization is the process by which investors select various securities and other assets to form portfolios according to demand and then optimize those portfolios to achieve their investment objectives. Compared with other industries, the consumer industry is a typical non-cyclical industry, less affected by the fluctuations of the economic cycle and more stable. Because high-end consumer prices are less elastic to demand and industry barriers are high, their investment prospects are better, and growth rates are faster. This paper examines whether luxury goods stocks are worth investing in and screens for the best-performing stocks within their sectors. This paper uses stock selection methods: P/E, Payout, EPS, and Dividend Yield. Further, the findings from the four methods are combined to select the two best-performing stocks. This paper focuses on why luxury stocks are worth investing in and the most worthwhile stocks in recent years by analyzing the data, with the experimental data being daily data for seven years from 2016-2022, involving ten representative stocks in the luxury sector in OTCMT and NYSE. Finally, a comparison of the cumulative and annualized returns of each approach demonstrates the superiority of the portfolio selection model put out in this work. It is concluded that more affluent young consumers still drive luxury goods despite slowing global economic growth. The data presents KER and LVMUY as the two stocks with the best investment value. Combined with the great trend of luxury development in recent years, investors can make a choice for these two stocks.

Analyzing the nexus between financial risk and economic risk in India: Evidence through the lens of wavelet coherence and non-parametric approaches

The gravest challenge for economic sustainability is the undetermined growth in the financial and economic risks of the nation, which need to be overcome with adequate measures without compromising economic growth. The uncertainty of economic factors produces fluctuations in the financial sector and makes them more vulnerable. However, the existing literature has not significantly focused on the economic and financial risk challenge for sustainable economic growth. Therefore, to fill the gap, an in-depth study is imperative to explore the association between these risks. To do so, this study incorporates both economic and financial risk to determine how risks are interconnected across time (frequency) and how they are linked by utilizing quarterly data from 1984-Q1 to 2020-Q4 and by applying both the “wavelet power spectrum (WPS)” and “wavelet coherence (WTC)” approaches, to examine the time-frequency dependency of each variable on the other. The findings of WTC revealed that the economic and financial risks have a positive dependency on each other in India at high, medium, and low frequencies. Likewise, the wavelet power spectrum outcomes reflect the high economic and financial risks vulnerability during 1991, 1992, and 1996. In addition, for the robustness check, the study employed both the “quantile regression (QR)” and “quantile-on-quantile regression (QQR)”. Both the QQR and QR endorsed the positive association between FR and ER. Hence, our paper is the first research of its kind for the Indian economy, and it extends to the existing literature by examining the link between the two most significant indicators in terms of both time and frequency dependency. The findings in our paper offer excellent perspectives for investors and policymakers to assess prospects for investment and policy changes if necessary.

International capital flows

The flows of capital are the deposits of the enterprises or private individuals in the country: they may be defined as the flow of finance meant for the enterprises or private persons in another country for the purposes such as the investments or commercial activity. Nowadays, in the conditions, in which the free trade zones are formed, the international flows of capital are of great importance for those with large savings and commercial enterprise for more effective use of its assets. It is widely believed that the foreign investments are profitable for the economic growth of the countries. The increase in the international investments and capital flows in any country contributes to the correction of the balance of payments and the external trade deficit due to the growth of the overall productivity of a country. The quality of legal defense provided for the foreign investors, and the level of efficiency of law enforcement are the key political issues for the promotion of higher levels of portfolio investments of foreign capital. The measures for the safety of investors, particularly those who related to the foreign investments are the essential crossed aspect specifying the international portfolio investments in the shares. The flows of capital impact the economy of the countries on macro and micro levels. Though the macroeconomic indexes reflect the general parameters, their monitoring and evaluation are extremely significant in economic context. As the investments are estimated in the view of future expectations, it is known that when speaking on the investment prospects of a country, not only social-economic conditions, but political stability are essential as well.

Limited Effectiveness of IT/IS Investments in an Emerging Economy

The business value of investments in information technology/information system (IT/IS) has been the subject of active research over several decades. Even though a plethora of similar studies analyzing the impact of promised IT/IS investments on firm performance exists, the results, largely inconclusive, mostly concentrate on the developed countries. In this backdrop, and with an expected manifold rise in IT/IS investments in India in the coming years, an assessment of the relationship between investments and firm performance can be noteworthy. The study explores this important issue by analyzing the impact of IT/IS investments on the firm's performance in India based on data of around 6500 IT/IS investments during 2000-2016. We deploy a series of univariate and multivariate analyses and complement those with several robustness tests. Our principal findings indicate that IT/IS investments on the average in India have been mostly unsuccessful in impacting firm performance positively, in line with "productivity paradox" phenomenon previously documented in the U.S. and other markets. We substantiate our principal results using several robustness tests. We offer several possible explanations of our results spanning across both IS as well as finance literature and discuss the implications of future investment prospects for firms. The results highlight the need for adoption of caution by firms operating in emerging economies like India while considering future IT/IS investment decisions. These suggestions are likely to serve as a good reference point in other emerging economies as well.

The study investigated the relationship between digital accounting practices and financial performance of Nigerian deposit money banks. Both primary and secondary sources were used in the study's examination of the research on Nigerian deposit money banks. The collected data was subjected to regression analysis. Regression analysis was used to predict the value of the dependent variables based on the knowledge about the explanatory factors used to assess the effect on the dependent variables. The eleven (11) deposit money banks registered on the Nigerian Exchange Group (NXG) were the population for this research; however, only nine (9) of such banks were actually sampled and included in the analysis. Among the study's results were positive connections between cloud accounting (CLA) and return on assets; also, blockchain technology had a positive relationship with return on assets. Therefore, the study concluded that the adoption of electronic accounting practices and financial performance of Nigerian deposit money banks. As a result, we propose digital activities in the banking industry and call for more research into digital activities in businesses since doing so may reveal even bigger investment prospects for investors among other things.

On the epistemic contribution of financial models

ABSTRACT Financial modelling is an essential tool for studying the possibility of financial transactions. This paper argues that financial models are conventional tools widely used in formulating and establishing possibility claims about a prospective investment transaction, from a set of governing possibility assumptions. What is distinctive about financial models is that they articulate how a transaction possibly could occur in a non-actual investment scenario given a limited base of possibility conditions assumed in the model. For this reason, it is argued that the epistemic contribution of financial models is that of enabling the model users to envision exactly how a prospective investment could be achieved in various ways through a detailed understanding of the available transaction mechanisms. Thus, financial models provide information about the possibility of an investment scenario by showing how a specific transaction mechanism could result from a small set of initial possibility conditions assumed in the model.

СТРАХОВІ ФОНДИ ЯК ДЖЕРЕЛА ІНВЕСТУВАННЯ ЕКОНОМІКИ УКРАЇНИ

The article is devoted to the development of theoretical approaches and the improvement of practical tools for forming, the development and evaluation of the prospects for insurance investment in the economy of Ukraine. Among the main functions of insurance there is an investment function. It is noted that the additional investment function of insurance in the minds of the market mobilizes savings for the development of the national economy. It is stated that insurance reserves contain financial resources with various possibilities for investment recovery arising from the terms of contracts for various types of insurance, from long-term to shortterm. It is determined that to ensure the investment activity of an insurance company, the most important ones are life insurance reserves, which form a long-term basis. The important concept of insurance investment as the purpose of direct investment of insurance reserves, emergency reserves, and the power capital of insurance companies is defined in all forms in various objects and instruments such as and bring income through the withdrawal of profits and (or) the attainment of another beneficial effect. When examining the investment activities of insurance companies, two groups of problems were seen. The first group of problems is associated with the analysis of the investment potential of the Ukrainian insurance sector of the economy in line with various market economic models. Another group of problems is associated with the analysis of the results of investment activity in the insurance sector of the economy. As part of the investigation of the first group of problems, the relationship between insurance premiums and GDP in Ukraine and other countries was analyzed and it was determined that the level of insurance penetration in Ukraine is low. The indicators of the number of insurance companies and their assets were analyzed and it was determined that in Ukraine the trend towards a reduction in the number of insurers will continue. The basis for the investigation of another group of problems was the assessment of the investment activity of insurance companies from the position of investment of insurance reserves and capital assets of insurance organizations in investment instruments mentee. The structure of insurance assets in Ukraine has been analyzed and it has been determined that the structure of allocation of insurance reserves in investment assets is impossible to ensure high profitability. It has been determined that the investment funds that are currently being raised by insurance companies, with the placement of insurance reserves and capital assets, will not be directed directly to the stock market and investment programs that can reduce investment economy, and mainly refer to the banking sector of the economy. The opportunity to invest in the insurance sector of the economy has been restored, which will contribute to the development of the national economy.

Application of bagging and particle swarm optimisation techniques to predict technology sector stock prices in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic using the support vector regression method

The increase in positive cases of COVID-19 not only affects the health and lifestyle, but also the economy and the stock market. Tech and digital sector stocks can be predicted to be one of the most profitable. Therefore, the prediction of the stock price is required to be able to forecast the prospects of investment in the future. In this study, the prediction of the stock prices of Multipolar Technologies Ltd. (MLPT) was carried out using the support vector regression (SVR) method with bootstrap aggregation (bagging) technique and particle swarm optimisation (PSO) as SVR optimisation. From the results of the prediction process, it is shown that the application of bagging and PSO techniques in predicting stock prices in the technological sector can reduce the root mean squared error (RMSE) value on the SVR, the RMSE value from 22.142 to 21.833. Although it does not have a big impact, it is better to apply a combination of bagging and PSO techniques to SVR than one of them (SVR/SVR - PSO/SVR-Bagging).

Correlation regression based forecast of Gazprom PJSC stock quotes

Introduction. A scientific research examining the concern of Gazprom PJSC (a leading Russian energy company) stock quote forecasts is relevant because it could determine investment prospects in the stock market of the Russian Federation. The key idea of this work is to find the most profitable and investable Russian company and outline the factors among many others that affect its stock quotes. Purpose . The author attempts to construct multiple linear regression equations reflecting the impact of the economic factors (the prices of the American natural gas, the USD/RUB currency pair, the M2 monetary aggregate in Russia) on the Gazprom PJSC stock quotes. These multiple linear regression equations are used to develop economic and mathematical models with the projected values of the factors. Materials and Methods . The paper refers to the general and special scientific methods – analysis, synthesis, a monographic method, and statistical methods – graphs, tables, trend spotting, correlation and regression analysis. The choice of independent variables in the correlation and regression analysis was driven by several factors: global natural gas prices determine the fi nancial performance of the Russian energy companies; the revenue of the Russian exporters has long been dependent on the USD/RUB currency pair; security quotes rose at the stock markets due to the monetary policy of central banks which strive to build up the monetary supply. Results. The study developed the equations of multiple linear regressions for the selected four periods with different economic scenarios. This proves the relevancy of the issue under analysis. These equations reflect the dependence of the Gazprom PJSC stock quotes from the prices of the American natural gas, the USD/RUB currency pair, and the money supply in Russia. They could give rise to the economic and mathematical models with the projected values of the analyzed factors and their possible correlations. Conclusion . The economic factors in question could have a positive impact on the Gazprom PJSC stock quotes against a weak Russian ruble and the national energy companies refocusing their attention on other markets. This information could be of use for the economic entities to boost their investment performance.

WIND AND SOLAR POWER PLANTS AND CRYPTOCURRENCIES AS OBJECTS FOR INVESTMENT DURING THE RUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN WAR

Purpose. The aim of the article is theoretical substantiation of investment prospects in the development of wind and solar power plants and cryptocurrency as an effective investment object in the conditions of a full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war. Methodology of research. The methodological basis of economic research is the dialectical method of scientific knowledge. General scientific and special methods were used in the process of economic research, the most important of which are: abstract and logical methods – for formulating general conclusions of economic research; systematic approach – in determining the causes and factors of the impact of investing in wind and solar power plants and cryptocurrencies on the national economy. Also, the authors used the following special methods of economic research during the writing of the article: direct observation was carried out – collection of information about the value of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin on the website https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bitcoin in the period from 01.01.2023 to 01.11.2023; statistical methods of information processing were applied to determine the value of the Bitcoin cryptocurrency from January 1, 2023 to November 1, 2023. Findings. It was determined that after the start of the large-scale invasion of the Russian army into Ukraine on February 24, 2022, the structure of attractiveness of investment objects in Ukraine changed dramatically – when making investments in shares of national enterprises, Ukrainian domestic government loan bonds, and foreign currencies, economic losses occur, but investing in cryptocurrencies and green energy facilities has become much more attractive. Investment investments of economic entities during 2022‒2023 in electric and wind power plants and other green energy facilities, which are due to both the significant economic effect of the introduction of "green" aggregates and the provision of energy independence for economic entities, have been analysed. It is substantiated that mining and trading of cryptocurrencies in Ukraine causes significant positive effects on both the macro and micro levels. The increase in the value of cryptocurrencies in 2023 has brought a significant economic effect for cryptocurrency miners and direct investors in cryptocurrency coins. It has been proven that the spheres of application of cryptocurrencies and green energy are intertwined and cause significant mutual economic impact. Therefore, it makes economic sense for an investor to engage in two businesses in parallel and simultaneously to ensure the maximum positive synergistic effect. It has been found that the impact of green energy and cryptocurrencies on the economy will undergo significant changes with the expansion of the spheres of use of cryptocurrencies and the expansion of the geography of the use of wind, power plants and other objects of green energy and the change in their legal regulation in the conditions of military operations, which will require reflection in further scientific economic research. Originality. The possibilities of parallel investment by economic entities in cryptocurrencies and wind and solar power plants with the possibility of achieving a positive synergistic economic effect during the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war in 2022‒2023 are considered. Practical value. According to the authors, investing in wind and solar power plants of cryptocurrency is simultaneously advisable in order to achieve a positive synergistic economic effect during the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war and the post-war period. Key words: investment, wind farms, solar farms, green energy, cryptocurrency market, cryptocurrency, crypto coin, Bitcoin.
