Adoption Subsidies and Adoption Outcomes:
Over half a million children in the United States are currently in foster care, many of whom are at risk for long-lasting emotional and health problems.

متن کاملOptimal feed-in tariffs and subsidies for residential photovoltaic systems
A feed-in tariff system and a subsidy are often used to make households install photovoltaic (PV) systems for solar power generation. They both influence the economics of a household in deciding whether to install or not. The purpose of this study is to obtain information on how a PV-power price and a subsidy should be set to promote adoption of PV systems effectively and efficiently. The model...
