This study uses a stochastic production frontier to model energy efficiency trends, in 85 countries over a 37 year … and a theoretical model of energy-efficient technology choice. An improvement in a country’s energy efficiency is measured … across countries. The study shows that energy efficiency rises with increasing general total factor productivity. Energy …

, subsidies and efficiency the of animal farming. To this end we first have to identify the production frontier and relative … efficiency level for each animal oriented type of farm in the sample. The production frontier and efficiency index for each type … of farm (assuming no specific production functions) are identified using DEA techniques. We then address the relationship …

Icelandic skippers do not share costs of operation of a vessel. In the model a skipper is contracted to take a fishing vessel to … the fishing ground. The skipper is remunerated with a share of the catch, subject to an agreed minimum. Skippers and … vessel owners are modelled as if risk neutral. Skippers develop a fishing strategy which is more costly, the higher the value …

A new integral for capacities, different from the Choquet integral, is introduced and characterized. The main feature of the new integral is concavity, which might be interpreted as uncertainty aversion. The integral is then extended to fuzzy capacities, which assign subjective expected values...

Job capacity is measured by the ratio of potential job openings to … utility, engage in efficiency-wage worksite interactions modelled as prisoner's dilemma games, and evolve their worksite … behaviors over time. The main finding is that job capacity consistently trumps job concentration when it comes to predicting the …
