This case study builds on earlier emissions baseline work completed by the International Energy Agency IEA and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development OECD, largely undertaken on behalf of the Annex I Experts Group. Previous studies examined the issues that need to be considered in standardizing greenhouse gas emissions...
A baseline is a group of nearly 20 primary reference points that you can set to record the original project plan when that plan is completed and refined. An interim plan is a set of current project data that you save after the project begins and that you can compare...
This paper revisits the baseline structural VAR model which generates the result that investment-specific technology shocks (I-shocks) account for about 50% of the business cycles. The author analyzes whether the estimated I-shocks based on this baseline model represent true I-shocks. It turns out to be that the estimated I-shock based...
The majority of research efforts in project scheduling assume a static and deterministic environment with complete information. In practice, however, these assumptions will hardly, if ever, be satisfied. Proactive scheduling aims at the generation of robust baseline schedules that are as much as possible protected against anticipated disruptions that may...
After preliminary analysis to decide which factors are potentially critical to the delivery process what to focus on, the center of the study switches to confirming which factors are actually critical.

This information will also serve as a baseline measure for planning future integrity assessment programs, including future inline inspections. Mainline and lateral sections have been designed to accommodate inline inspection tools with the installation of launcher/receiver assemblies at every second compressor station on the mainline portion. The Alliance Pipeline System...
Emission baselines are crucial for determining the emission reductions resulting from a greenhouse gas GHG mitigation project and calculating the associated emission credits. Kartha et al. (2002) recommended a "combined margin" methodology for grid-connected electricity generating projects. This paper tests the combined margin methodology for Brazil, Chile, and South Africa,...
The objective of this paper is to examine baseline methodologies in the context of the possibilities and implications of developing multi-project1 or standardized baselines in the electricity generation sector. To do so, it considers, through a quantitative analysis using detailed electricity data, recent capacity additions in the electricity generation sectors...
This paper is largely based on the experience gained through energy efficiency projects and programmes in industrialized countries - which may provide valuable lessons for the construction of baselines for JI and CDM projects in developing countries, as well as in economies in transitions. It is also based on the...
With the current costs of ammunition it is often hard to justify casual shooting or sometimes even defensive practice in addition to the overall general cost of just day-to-day living. Ammunition costs went up a nominal 11 percent in January and we can expect another price increase towards the middle...
