Charting the Economic Life Cycle.
The shape of the demographic life cycle is of fundamental interest, which demographers recognize through extensive efforts to estimate, describe, and interpret the age-shapes of fertility, mortality, marriage, divorce, and migration. These age-shapes are influenced by biology, culture, economic constraints, and individual choice. Similarly, the shape of the economic life cycle is of fundamental...
متن کاملA Classroom Simulation to Teach Economic InputOutput Life Cycle Assessment
Life cycle assessment (LCA) methods and tools are increasingly being taught in university courses. Students are learning the concepts and applications of process-based LCA, input−output-based LCA, and hybrid methods. Here, we describe a classroom simulation to introduce students to an economic input−output life cycle assessment (EIO-LCA) method. The simulation uses a simplified four-industry ec...
متن کاملLife Cycle Costing of Military Equipment
Military assets are generally appraised at the acquisition stage on the basis of their total life cycle costs. This study provides a theoretical foundation and a parametric cost model for forecasting the life cycle cost for any kind of heavy military equipment. In the model, the asset operating and maintenance (O&M) costs are estimated as a function of its age over its optimal operational life....
متن کاملAn Integrated Framework for Life Cycle Costing in Buildings
This paper summarises the difficulties in the application of life cycle costing (LCC) as a decision making tool in the construction industry on the parts of the client, the analyst and the industry practices. Life cycle costing encompasses a great deal of uncertainty, functions of which are data imperfection, randomness and ambiguity. The traditional use of the probability theory and statistics...
متن کاملLife-cycle Models, Economic Puzzles and Temptation Preferences
This paper focuses on the difficulty of standard life-cycle models to predict the behavior observed in the reality, most noticeably the excess sensitivity of consumption to income, the under-provision for old-age consumption, the limited participation in the financial market, and the lack of asset decumulation after retirement. It shows that allowing for preference reversals, as it is the case ...
