  • Title: Solar Project Analysis for North Attleboro Waste Dump Location

    Location: North Attleboro waste dump corner of Mt. Hope Street and Landry Ave 41′ 59’09.19″N 71’18’54.72’W

    Determine the number of solar panels you could install and the potential power output
    Panel Specifications
    Panels: Solarworld 320W
    DC output needs to be derated. Use the following site http://rredc.nrel.gov/solar/calculators/pvwatts/version1/derate.cgi
    Take into account the following
    SRECs for Massachusetts
    Subsidies
    5 year MACRS
    Please prepare a spreadsheet for your solar project assuming 1MWdc operation. Assume 20 year life, 5 year MACRS depreciation schedule, $100 RECs, electricity sales of $0.05/KWh, 3% inflation, 0.5% annual loss in solar panel efficiency, annual operating costs of $50,000, and annual lease payments of $6,000 per acre
    Set up a cash flow spreadsheet using the following parameters. Capital costs $2500/KW. 10% discount rate, 20 year life, capacity factor of 30% and O&M costs of $30/KW. No fuel costs and ignore taxes. Calculate what you will need to sell electricity for to obtain a zero NPV. What does a zero NPV mean and what happens at this point? How does this relate the levelized cost of energy?

  • Title: “Addressing Criticisms and Defending the Thesis: Analyzing Consumer Behavior in E-commerce Platforms”

    The presented thesis can be considered a relatively average bachelor’s thesis that deals with consumer behavior. Unfortunately, the bachelor’s thesis does not bring any breakthrough outputs and contains a number of shortcomings,
    especially in the area of data processing and their evaluation, and partly also in the area of the use of citation standards. In the theoretical part of the work (especially literary research), one can find entire paragraphs without proper citation, or the use of the citation standard is inappropriately used (especially with the text in bullet points). The
    results of the work are somewhat contradictory. The author established a large number of hypotheses, and although he carried out some statistical processing of the data, their quality and especially the evaluation is very limited. At the same time, I draw attention to the fact that the representativeness of the sample has not been verified, which according to the supplied information is already distorted at first glance. The conclusions of the work are quite simplistic and have no application or theoretical‐methodical added value. However, despite these shortcomings, the thesis probably meets the minimum requirements for a final thesis of a similar level, and therefore I suggest it be
    graded well.
    Questions for thesis defence:
    How can the representativeness of the sample be verified?
    What is the difference between e‐commerce in Vietnam and the Czech Republic? Name at least 3 significant differences.
    Help me answer these questions in the most convincing way. And it seems that this thesis has a major problem with the representation of the sample. I think it may be because the topic focuses on users mainly on the Shopee platform, but the research sample includes users on other platforms. Moreover, according to the opponent′s comments, it also has limitations in the essay. So give me the answers and explanations so I can succeed in defending my thesis

  • “Replicating and Analyzing the Trade-offs of Pet Ownership in the Labour Market: A Regression Analysis”

    “FinalProjectReplication_Spring2024.pdf” is the instruction of this assignment. You should focus on the final project part, which is part 2.
    “The Labour Market

    “Notes.pdf” are the class notes for this course, and you should write base on the knowledge we’ve learnt.
    This course focuses on learning the regression and the assumption of the linear regression, like first assumption: linearity,  exogeneity. second assumption: data are randomly selected and there are no constant or multicolinearity in variables; we obser all variables. third assumption: homoskedaticity — variance of error(u) conditional on regressors is constant. These are just part of the notes, you could read notes to get more specific information.
