Water is an increasingly scarce resource. It is often distributed such that consumers do not face any marginal cost of consumption, creating a common pool problem. For instance, tenants in multi-family buildings can often consume both hot and cold water at zero marginal cost. Using...

This paper is about the nonparametric regression of a choice variable on a nonlinear budget set under utility maximization with general heterogeneity, i.e. in the random utility model (RUM). We show that utility maximization and convex budget sets make this regression three dimensional with a...

This paper is about the nonparametric regression of a choice variable on a nonlinear budget set when there is general heterogeneity, i.e., in the random utility model (RUM). We show that utility maximization makes this a three-dimensional regression with piecewise linear, convex budget sets with...

In the absence of boric acid, the tubular Ti-MWW zeolite membranes are prepared with dual organic template agents and potassium carbonate by secondary hydrothermal synthesis. The 12MR super cage and 10 MR of the MWW topology structure is oriented and stabilized from TMAdaOH and HMI in this work,...

China's coal resources are being mined gradually deeper. Compared with the shallow part, the content and the emission of gas are significantly increased in the deep coal seam. In the mining of the highly-gassy coal seam, strengthening gas drainage in the goaf and fissure zone can improve the...
