Heavy duty vehicle fuel consumption modelling using artificial neural networks
PublikacjaIn this paper an artificial neural network (ANN) approach to modelling fuel consumption of heavy duty vehicles is presented. The proposed method uses easy accessible data collected via CAN bus of the truck. As a benchmark a conventional method, which is based on polynomial regression model, is used. The fuel consumption is measured in two different tests, performed by using a unique test bench to apply the load to the engine. Firstly,...

Determinants of export diversification: an empirical investigation
PublikacjaEmpirical findings confirm that relatively high specialisation of economic structures tends to be associated with low levels of income per capita, but countries diversify their export structures along their path of growth. However, usually only per capita income, and eventually, country-specific fixed effects are the sole explanatory variables taken into consideration in the estimation of specialisation curves. We extend the analysis...

Relative Productivity, Country Size and Export Diversification
PublikacjaThis paper analyses the effects of productivity and country size on the extent of trade structure diversification.
