This paper presents and discusses schemes of prevention measures in public health. A mathematical model is purposely designed to outline various features related to cost issues and a numerical application to Italian cancer data is used to show the flexibility and utilization of the model.

This study examined external factors affecting policy and program decision-making in a specific public health policy context: injury prevention and rehabilitation compensation in the Australian state of Victoria. The aim was twofold: identify external factors that affect policy and program...

Two finite extensive-form games are empirically equivalent when the empirical distribution on action profiles generated by every behavior strategy in one can also be generated by an appropriately chosen behavior strategy in the other. This paper provides a characterization of empirical...

Structural uncertainty arises when key features of the behavior of a system are not well understood. Observational uncertainty arises when key variables in a system are not directly observed. Both types of uncertainty lead to problems for standard dynamic optimization approaches. The replacement...

UK climate change policy has long been concerned with the transition to a more sustainable energy mix. The degree of competition in electricity markets rises as these markets become more and more liberalized. In order to survive in such an increasingly competitive setting, electricity producers...

Macroeconomic modelling of the agro-industrial sector proposed in [1] is done. For this purposes production function dependent of three production factors: capital, land and labour was estimate. Fourteen more perspective branches were selected for examination, Gross Domestic Product values and...

The Burdekin delta in north Queensland is a major irrigation area producing over 35,000 ha of irrigated sugarcane and other crops. This area is unique because it overlies shallow aquifers and relies heavily on groundwater supply for irrigation water. The long-term 'health' of the groundwater...

The paper is part of the interdisciplinary recent concerns of "environmental management", looking to determine the damages caused by pollution, remediation expenditures, and benefits that may arise through the application of remediation techniques and decontamination technologies in the mining...
