An econometric analysis: Is there an optimal external debt threshold for Guinea?

Optimal external debt and default

This paper analyses whether sovereign default episodes can be seen as contingencies of optimal international lending contracts. The model considers a small open economy with capital accumulation and without commitment to repay debt. Taking first order approximations of Bellman equations, I derive analytical expressions for the equilibrium level of debt and the optimal debt contract. In this env...

Noise Measurement of Optoelectronic Coupled Devices for Reliability Screening: Is There an Optimal Threshold?

It is very useful to describe the methodology and also the judging rules, which enable us to predict the individual quality of electronic components, based on measurements of their noise. However, the published literature on screening standards, especially on how to draw an optimal threshold value to distinguish good quality from poor quality, are quite few. In this paper a screening approach f...

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

Is There an Optimal Money Supply?: Discussion

Reducing the debt: is it optimal to outsource an investment?

We deal with the problem of outsourcing the debt for a big investment, according two situations: either the firm outsources both the investment (and the associated debt) and the exploitation to a private consortium, or the firm supports the debt and the investment but outsources the exploitation. We prove the existence of Stackelberg and Nash equilibria between the firm and the private consorti...
