The cutoff policy of taxation when CRRA taxpayers differ in risk aversion coefficients and income: a proof.

Privileggi, Fabio - Institute of Public Policy and Public Choice - POLIS - 2007

Under a cutoff policy, taxpayers can either report income as usual and run the risk of being audited, or report a … "cutoff" income and hence pay a threshold tax that guarantees not being audited. Whereas the mainstream literature in this … certain conditions, the cutoff is accepted by taxpayers with intermediate characteristics in terms of income and relative risk …

Temperature Integration: An efficient procedure for calculation of free energy differences

Farhi, Asaf; Hed, Guy; Bon, Michael; Caticha, Nestor; … - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 392 (2013) 23, pp. 5836-5844

We propose a method, Temperature Integration, which allows an efficient calculation of free energy differences between two systems of interest, with the same degrees of freedom, which may have rough energy landscapes. The method is based on calculating, for each single system, the difference...

Modeling non-compensatory preferences in environmental valuation

Truong, Thuy D.; Adamowicz, Wiktor L.; Boxall, Peter C. - In: Resource and Energy Economics 39 (2015) C, pp. 89-107

the decision process. In this article, we develop a model that estimates cutoff levels endogenously. Our model has two … error components, one for the utility function and another for the cutoff function. This facilitates the estimation of the … cutoff as a function of individual specific variables. We estimate the model by maximizing the log-likelihood function that …

Turing bifurcation in a reaction–diffusion system with density-dependent dispersal

Kumar, Niraj; Horsthemke, Werner - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 389 (2010) 9, pp. 1812-1818

Motivated by the recent finding [N. Kumar, G.M. Viswanathan, V.M. Kenkre, Physica A 388 (2009) 3687] that the dynamics of particles undergoing density-dependent nonlinear diffusion shows sub-diffusive behaviour, we study the Turing bifurcation in a two-variable system with this kind of...

Reaction and diffusion in a lamellar structure: the effect of the lamellar arrangement upon yield

Clifford, MichaelJ.; Cox, StephenM.; Roberts, E.P.L. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 262 (1999) 3, pp. 294-306

The yield of a competitive–consecutive chemical reaction in a lamellar structure is shown to be strongly influenced by the order in which the lamellae are arranged. Average measures of lamellar width, which take no account of the particular arrangement of the lamellae, perform poorly in...

Current transients associated with the ion adsorption on charged membranes: a stochastic model

D’Ajello, P.C.T.; Hauser, P.R.; Lauck, L. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 351 (2005) 2, pp. 404-416

In this work, we derive an analytic expression for the current transients associated with the absorption of ions by gated pores on biological membranes submitted to voltage-clamped conditions. We focus on the processes that occur on the interface between the membrane and the extra cellular...

The effect of exclusion on nonlinear reaction–diffusion system in inhomogeneous media

Bagarti, Trilochan; Roy, Anupam; Kundu, K.; Dev, B.N. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 405 (2014) C, pp. 52-62

We study a minimal model for the formation of clusters on surfaces in the presence of surface defects. A reaction–diffusion model is considered in which atoms undergo reactions at the defect centers to form clusters. Volume exclusion between particles is introduced through a drift term in the...

Stable schemes for partial differential equations: the one-dimensional reaction–diffusion equation

Teixeira, João - In: Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (MATCOM) 64 (2004) 5, pp. 507-520

Reaction–diffusion equations are fundamental in modelling several natural phenomena. The numerical schemes used to solve these equations often suffer from numerical stability problems. In this paper, a new type of algorithm to solve the diffusion equation in a stable and explicit manner is...
