The sectoral structure of most agricultural enterprises is unbalanced and uncoordinated, which underlies the need in deepened research of its improvement. This paper is dedicated to the formation and evaluation of the sectoral structure with the use of mathematical methods of data processing. Mathematical economic modeling based on optimization and simulation models has been applied for the for...

Identifying the factors that influence electricity demand in the continental United States and mathematically characterizing them are important for developing electricity consumption projections. The price elasticity of demand is especially important, since the electricity price effects of policy implementation can be substantial and the demand response to policy-induced changes in prices can s...

PURPOSE To quantify the effects of using the fovea to Bruch's membrane opening (FoBMO) axis as the nasal-temporal midline for 30° sectoral (clock-hour) spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) optic nerve head (ONH) minimum rim width (MRW) and area (MRA) calculations. METHODS The internal limiting membrane and BMO were delineated within 24 radial ONH B-scans in 222 eyes of 222 par...

We examine the relationship between market structure and the persistence of US dollar-based sectoral real exchange rates for 14 OECD countries. Our empirical results based on disaggregated data suggest that differences in market structure significantly determine the rates at which deviations from sectoral purchasing power parity decay. Specifically, industries with a larger price-cost margin ar...

A multisectoral global model was constructed on a 35 I-O sectoral basis in 1995 and has extensively been used for various policy analyses. The model, EITF, covers 29 countries and 7 regions with special reference to G7 and Asian countries. World trade can also be analyzed in the same sectoral categories, enabling the analysis of significant changes in foreign trade consistent with those for sec...
