We propose a new methodology to estimate the share of household income accruing
to children (i.e., the cost of children). Following the principle of the Rothbarth
approach, the identi cation of the children's share ...
Reduced-scale masonry testing offers advantages of lower costs and shorter schedules compared to full-scale testing, but achieving results reflective of full-scale behavior requires development and fulfilment of appropriate ...

This paper examines the volatility and covariance dynamics of cash and futures
contracts that underlie the Optimal Hedge Ratio (OHR) across different hedging time
horizons. We examine whether hedge ratios calculated over ...
In many model-scale experiments, geometric scaling is upheld but kinematic and/or dynamic similitude is not because of the difficulty in manufacturing and assembling small models. This paper describes scaling, manufacturing, ...
In this paper, we suggest a collective model with parents and (young)
children. We identify and estimate scale economies in households and the
sharing rule between husband, wife and children. While adult shares and
economies ...
We apply an extension of the Rothbarth approach to estimate the share of
household resources accruing to children (i.e., the cost of children) in Ireland.
The method also allows us to identify the economies of scale in ...
Ecologically, potential bioindicator taxa operate at different scales within agricultural ecosystems, and thereby provide a means to investigate the influence of changing management practice on biological diversity at ...
Traditional means to predict tunnel-induced damage for large groups of potentially affected above ground structures has generally focused on creating a settlement trough and estimating subsequent building response limited ...
Background Research has shown that children's beliefs about the causes of psychological problems are related to their attitudes and reactions towards affected peers. This study describes the development of the Children's ...
