We solve the problem of a social planner who seeks to minimize inequality via transfers with a fixed public budget in a distribution of exogenously given incomes. The appropriate solution method depends on the objective function: If it is convex, as in the case of the absolute mean deviation, it...

This paper shows how a dynamic multisector equilibrium model can be foraulated to be able to analyze the optimal borrowinG policy of a developing country. It also describes how a non-linear programming model with the proposed features was constructed for Brazil. And discusses the optinal...

The Vehicle Scheduling Problem (VSP) is a well-studied combinatorial optimization problem arising for bus companies in public transport. The objective is to cover a given set of timetabled trips by a set of buses at minimum costs. The Electric Vehicle Scheduling Problem (E-VSP) complicates...
