Spatial Optimisation Technique for Planning Groundwater Supply Schemes in a Rapid Growing Urban Environment
Korada, Durga - In: Water Resources Management 28 (2014) 3, pp. 731-747
Uneven distribution of domestic water in space and time is a major concern in many fast growing cities due to improper planning and lack of scientific approach. This problem is much severe where the maximum domestic water requirements are met from the groundwater resources. Optimising a single...

Exploring natural resource management tradeoffs in an agricultural landscape - an application of the MOSAIC model.
Lawson, Kenton; Hill, Christine M.; Hodges, Andrew; … - Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society … - 2007
We describe a landscape scale non-linear discrete choice spatial optimisation model for identifying cost-effective strategies for achieving environmental goals. Spatial heterogeneity and configuration issues such as fencing costs, patch sizes and network linkages are explicitly accounted for and...

On stationary recursive equilibria and nondegenerate state spaces: The Huggett model
Kam, Timothy; Lee, Junsang - In: Journal of Mathematical Economics 50 (2014) C, pp. 156-159
The seminal work of Huggett (1993) showed that in a stationary recursive equilibrium, there exists a unique stationary distribution of agent types. However, the question remains open as to whether an equilibrium’s individual state space might turn out to be such that: either (i) every...

Efficience économique des formes urbaines : compacité avec des tours comparée à l'étalement urbain.
Bouinot, Jean - In: Géographie, économie, société 8 (2006) 4, pp. 481-487
Labour productivity increases with town size ; this relation is improved with the size of real labour market (i.e. workers dewlling minus y minutes from offerd jobs). Hence two solutions : ? Develop the speed of collective transports; ? Build towers ; but the first solution facilitiates urban...

Ireland's Generic Repeat Design Schools Programme
Sheppard, Tony - Directorate for Education, Organisation de Coopération … - 2011
The Irish Department of Education and Skills (DoE) is strongly committed to energy efficiency and to reducing CO2 by developing and implementing energy level ceilings in relation to school design that aim to remain below half of the accepted good practice in the field. This approach works within...

The Lagrange multiplier rule revisited
Brinkhuis, Brinkhuis, J.; Protassov, V. - Faculteit der Economische Wetenschappen, Erasmus … - 2008
In this paper we give a short novel proof of the well-known Lagrange multiplier rule, discuss the sources of the power of this rule and consider several applications of this rule. The new proof does not use the implicit function theorem and combines the advantages of two of the most well-known...

On a Unique Nondegenerate Distribution of Agents in the Huggett Model
Kam, Timothy - Center for Intergenerational Studies, Institute of … - 2010
A theoretical curiosity remains in the Huggett [1993] model as to the possible existence of a unique and degenerate stationary distribution of agent types. This coincides with the possibility that an equilibrium individual state space may turn out to be trivial in the sense that every agent...
