There is a well established socioeconomic gradient in educational attainment, despite much
effort in recent decades to address this inequality. This study evaluates a university access
program that provides financial, ...

The Barro-Grossman/Malinvaud model is extended to include two factors of production: skilled labour with a flexible price and unskilled labour with an exogenously determined money wage. A number of simple diagrams are ...
Highway structures such as bridges are subject to continuous degradation primarily
due to ageing, loading and environmental factors. A rational transport policy must
monitor and provide adequate maintenance to this ...
Increases in fuel and feed prices are placing a significant
burden on the poultry industry in Ireland and worldwide. For producers to meet
their financial targets, increased performance and output is a key issue, now
more ...
Intensive monitoring has been carried out under EC Regulation 3528/86 (project number
8860 IR 001.0) at Ballyhooly, Co. Cork since 1988. In 1991, three new plots (Roundwood, Cloosh and Brackloon) were established (9060IR0030) ...
Photosensitive polymers are of practical importance, and mass transport within such materials plays a critical role in their behavior. Building on the work in Part I [J. Opt. Soc. Am. B doc. ID 136413 (posted 5 January ...
For photopolymers, knowing the rate of diffusion of the active monomer is important when modeling the material evolution during recording in order to understand and optimize their performance. Unfortunately, a confusingly ...
In [1,2] an error (by a factor of 1000) in the diffusion rate of monomer in a photopolymer material used by the authors of [3], is presented. In [3] no errors are identified in our analysis and our physical evidence is not ...

Almost twenty-five years after the appearance of Dixit and Stiglitz’s paper on
monopolistic competition and optimum product diversity, I try to take stock of the progres which has been made in applying their approach to ...

This paper models monopoly markets on which demand is addictive as defined by Stigler and Becker; and hence dynamic. It is shown that the monopolists' equilibrium is unique and stable and the time path taken to reach it ...

A monopsony model of the labour market is developed where wages and the effort level
are chosen by the firm. Higher wages raise labour supply while higher effort reduces it. Wages will be below the socially optimal level ...
Bergin, James; Zhou, Lin(Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS), 2006-02)
In this paper we study the production and pricing of a good by a single supplier (such as a monopolist or government) under some given optimality criterion--for example, profit maximization or social benefit maximization. ...

In this note we study the implications on a bivariate normal Roy Model of two sets of monotonicity hypotheses proposed recently by Manski and Pepper (2000). In that simple context, we show that these hypotheses imply strong ...
Among the perceived inputs in the “production” of child quality is family size; there is an extensive theoretical literature that postulates a tradeoff between child quantity and quality within a family. However, there is ...
There is an extensive theoretical literature that postulates a trade-off between child quantity and quality within a family. However, there is little causal evidence that speaks to this theory. Using a rich data set on the ...
Polarity items must, by definition, fit inside the scope of their licenser; items like any N, in addition, appear to require a c-commanding and overt licenser. It is argued that the relevant restriction refers to precedence, ...
