Globalization backlands: labor and territory by Jacob Carlos Lima, Roseli de Fátima Corteletti, Iara Maria de Araújo

“…Based on two distinct empirical cases, the text demonstrates how informal production hubs are being reinterpreted within a model of individual self-entrepreneurship, which involves reducing costs and increasing national competitiveness. It also shows how policies are being implemented to reduce labor costs and attract companies to organize outsourcing networks based on the supply of cheap labor, as well as the symbolic value of offering formal jobs in a region where these are scarce. …”

An internal pricing method for a local energy market with P2P energy trading by Mohammad Hasan Ghodusinejad, Hossein Yousefi, Behnam Mohammadi-ivatloo

“…The problem was implemented and solved in the form of a Mixed-Integer Non-Linear Programming (MINLP) model in GAMS, where its final goal was to minimize the total costs of the market members. The results showed that by switching from peer-to-grid (P2G) to P2P mode, the cost of peers decreased around 8 % in summer day and almost 2 % in winter day. …”
