Transformative Learning Through Internationalization of the Curriculum in Higher Education (2014)
Journal Article
Clifford, V., & Montgomery, C. (2015). Transformative Learning Through Internationalization of the Curriculum in Higher Education. Journal of Transformative Education, 13(1), 46-64. https://doi.org/10.1177/1541344614560909

Over the last three decades, universities have, almost universally, adopted the mantra of internationalization. However, the implications of internationalization for transformative learning through curriculum receive little consideration. This articl...

Realised higher moments : theory and practice (2014)
Journal Article
Buckle, M., Chen, J., & Williams, J. (2016). Realised higher moments : theory and practice. European Journal of Finance, 22(13), 1272-1291. https://doi.org/10.1080/1351847x.2014.885456

This paper examines the incorporation of higher moments in portfolio selection problems utilising high-frequency data. Our approach combines innovations from the realised volatility literature with a portfolio selection methodology utilising higher m... Read More about Realised higher moments : theory and practice.

The Glacial Geomorphology of the Antarctic Ice Sheet Bed (2014)
Journal Article
Jamieson, S., Stokes, C., Ross, N., Rippin, D., Bingham, R., Wilson, D., …Bentley, M. (2014). The Glacial Geomorphology of the Antarctic Ice Sheet Bed. Antarctic Science, 26(6), 724-741. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0954102014000212

In 1976, David Sugden and Brian John developed a classification for Antarctic landscapes of glacial erosion based upon exposed and eroded coastal topography, providing insight into the past glacial dynamics of the Antarctic ice sheets. We extend this... Read More about The Glacial Geomorphology of the Antarctic Ice Sheet Bed.

Risk and regulation in water utilities : a cross-country comparison of evidence from the CAPM (2014)
Journal Article
Buckland, R., Williams, J., & Beecher, J. (2015). Risk and regulation in water utilities : a cross-country comparison of evidence from the CAPM. Journal of Regulatory Economics, 47(2), 117-145. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11149-014-9261-z

This paper addresses a core issue for the regulated utility: what are the risks taken by investors in companies that supply a product whose supply is regulated? Prior research on returns of regulated water supply and distribution companies concluded...

An optimization model for a monopolistic firm serving an environmentally conscious market: Use of Chemical Reaction Optimization Algorithm (2014)
Journal Article
Choudhary, A., Suman, R., Dixit, V., Tiwari, M., Fernandes, K., & Chang, P. (2015). An optimization model for a monopolistic firm serving an environmentally conscious market: Use of Chemical Reaction Optimization Algorithm. International Journal of Production Economics, 164, 409-420. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpe.2014.10.011

This work considers a monopolist firm which faces the following twin challenges of serving an environmentally sensitive market. The first challenge is the demand׳s elasticity to emissions and price. To entice its emission conscious customers and gene...

How predictable are equity covariance matrices? Evidence from high frequency data for four markets (2014)
Journal Article
Buckle, M., Chen, J., & Williams, J. (2014). How predictable are equity covariance matrices? Evidence from high frequency data for four markets. Journal of Forecasting, 33(7), 542-557. https://doi.org/10.1002/for.2310

Most pricing and hedging models rely on the long-run temporal stability of a sample covariance matrix. Using a large dataset of equity prices from four countries—the USA, UK, Japan and Germany—we test the stability of realized sample covariance matri...

A chilling example? Uruguay, Phillip Morris International, and WHO's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (2014)
Journal Article
Russell, A., Wainwright, M., & Mamudu, H. (2015). A chilling example? Uruguay, Phillip Morris International, and WHO's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. Medical Anthropology Quarterly, 29(2), 256-277. https://doi.org/10.1111/maq.12141

The World Health Organization's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) is the first international public health treaty to address the global spread of tobacco products. Ethnographic research at the fourth meeting of the FCTC's Conference of t... Read More about A chilling example? Uruguay, Phillip Morris International, and WHO's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.

Morphometry and pattern of a large sample (>20,000) of Canadian eskers and implications for subglacial drainage beneath ice sheets (2014)
Journal Article
Storrar, R., Stokes, C., & Evans, D. (2014). Morphometry and pattern of a large sample (>20,000) of Canadian eskers and implications for subglacial drainage beneath ice sheets. Quaternary Science Reviews, 105(1), 1-25. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2014.09.013

Ice sheet flow is strongly influenced by the nature and quantity of meltwater entering the subglacial system. Accessing and monitoring contemporary drainage systems beneath ice sheets is notoriously difficult, but it is possible to utilise the expose...

Size, shape and spatial arrangement of mega-scale glacial lineations from a large and diverse dataset (2014)
Journal Article
Spagnolo, M., Clark, C., Ely, J., Stokes, C., Anderson, J., Andreassen, K., …King, E. (2014). Size, shape and spatial arrangement of mega-scale glacial lineations from a large and diverse dataset. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 39(11), 1432-1448. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.3532

Mega-scale glacial lineations (MSGLs) are a characteristic landform on ice stream beds. Solving the puzzle of their formation is key to understanding how ice interacts with its bed and how this, in turn, influences the dynamics of ice streams. Howeve...
