An Integrated Risk Assessment Model for the Implementation of Drought Insurance Markets in Spain

Pérez Blanco, Carlos Dionisio; Gómez, Carlos Mario - 2014

Water is a key input in the production of many goods and services and under certain conditions can become a critical limiting factor with significant impacts on regional development. This is the case of many agricultural European Mediterranean basins, where water deficit during drought events is...

Gradual Covering Location Problem with Stochastic Radius

Bashiri, Mahdi; Chehrepak, Elaheh; Gomari, Saeed - 2014

In this paper, we consider the gradual covering problem when the coverage radius, is determined by a random variable with distinct distribution functions. In this model, it is assumed that the certain amount of coverage radius is not available and the potential coverage radius is used. Model...

A Note on Aoki-Yoshikawa Model

Scalas, Enrico; Garibaldi, Ubaldo - 2008

In this paper, we explore a dynamical version of by Aoki and Yoshikawa model (AYM) for an economy driven by demand. We show that when an appropriate Markovian dynamics is taken into account, AYM has different equilibrium distributions depending on the form of transition probabilities. In the...
