Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Generally, the urban disaster carrying capability in economic developed cities were considered better than the developing cities for wealth and the better capability could help for decreasing relative loss even though absolute loss under disasters maybe higher in economic developed cities. That was to say that the urban disaster carrying capability interacte...

Input-output analysis is frequently used in studies of large-scale weather-related (e.g., Hurricanes and flooding) disruption of a regional economy. The economy after a sudden catastrophe shows a multitude of imbalances with respect to demand and production and may take months or years to recover. However, there is no consensus about how the economy recovers. This article presents a theoretical...

The main purpose of this study is measuring and comparing of peanut harvesting loss in manual and mechanical methods in addition to economic analysis of them. Hence, a field was selected in Astaneh-Ashrafiyeh and divided to three different plots. Two plots were applied to measure mechanical harvesting loss and third one was applied for manual harvesting loss. According to test results, the lowe...

I evaluate trends in forest loss, population size, economic growth, and corruption within 12 nations that contain the large bulk of Asian tropical forests, and contrast these with trends occurring elsewhere in the tropics. Half of the Asian nations have already experienced severe (>70%) forest loss, and forest-rich countries, such as Indonesia and Malaysia, are experiencing rapid forest destruc...

Private banks often blame state guarantees to distort competition by giving public banks the advantage of lower funding costs. In this paper I show that if borrowers perceive the public bank as supporting economic development, private banks may be able to separate firms by self selection, enter the market, and obtain profits in equilibrium despite their cost disadvantage. The public bank’s comp...

This article examines the economic consequences associated with the death of a child. The economic costs (funeral and medical expenses and productivity losses) of child death 6 months following the death were estimated based on 213 parents who had experienced the death of a child (usually unexpectedly and predominantly mothers). Findings suggest that productivity losses associated with child de...

This paper provides estimators and confidence regions for minima of an econometric criterion function Q(θ). The minima form a set of parameters, ΘI , called here the identified set. In economic applications, ΘI represents a set of economic models that in population pass the set of testable restrictions embodied in Q(θ). When ΘI is a singleton, the confidence sets reduce to the conventional conf...

Financial openness is often associated with higher rates of economic growth. We show that the impact of openness on factor productivity growth is more important than the effect on capital growth. This explains why the growth effects of liberalization appear to be largely permanent, not temporary. We attribute these permanent liberalization effects to the role financial openness plays in stock m...

In this paper, the author presented a modified Chen and Chung’s model considering that the process mean may not be equal to the target value when the process is in the in-control state. Taguchi’s asymmetric quadratic quality loss function will be applied in evaluating the product quality. Subsequently, the modified economic manufacturing quantity (EMQ) model based on modified the Chen and Chung...

This study proposes a two-phase, algebraic approach to resolve the rotation cycle time and number of shipments for a multi-item, economic production quantity (EPQ) model with a random defective rate. A conventional method for solving a multi-item EPQ model is to use differential calculus and Hessian matrix equations on system cost function to prove convexity first and then derive an optimal pro...
