the world health organization’s (who’s) world health report 2010, “health systems financing, the path to universal coverage,” promoted universal health coverage (uhc) as an aspirational objective for country health systems. yet, in addition to the dimensions of services and coverage, distribution of coverage in the population, and financial risk protection highlighted by the report, the conside...

The standard model of pass-through in imperfectly competitive markets focuses on double marginalization of rents and highlights the importance of the curvature of demand curve. We develop a model of equilibrium prices in a supply chain with financing intermediaries to incorporate credit rationing faced by wholesale traders. The financing intermediaries help relax the quantitative credit limits ...

in modern decentralised health systems, district and local managers are increasingly responsible for financing, managing, and delivering healthcare. however, their lack of adequate skills and competencies are a critical barrier to improved performance of health systems. given the financial and human resource, constraints of relying on traditional face-to-face training to upskill a large and dis...

As an important tool to control CO2 emission, carbon emission trading (CET) has been highlighted in prior studies for its positive effects on firms. However, we are concerned about the role of CET corporate financing. Through a quasi-natural experiment from China’s pilot, regarded as start-up stage system, investigate manufacturing financing (i.e., debt and commercial credit financing). The res...

The Policy Research Working Paper Series disseminates the findings of work in progress to encourage the exchange of ideas about development issues. An objective of the series is to get the findings out quickly, even if the presentations are less than fully polished. The papers carry the names of the authors and should be cited accordingly. The findings, interpretations, and conclusions expresse...

Unit quaternion is an ideal parameterization for joint rotations. However, due to the complexity of the geometry of S group, it’s hard to specify meaningful joint constraints with unit quaternion. In this paper, we have proposed an effective and accurate method to specify the rotation limits for joints parameterized with the unit quaternion. Joint constrains constructed with our method are adeq...
