An International Comparison
This research describes, classifies, and comparatively evaluates national models and mechanisms used to evaluate research and allocate research funding in 16 countries. Although these models and mechanisms vary widely in terms of how research is evaluated and financed, nearly all share the common characteristic of relating funding to some measure of past performance. Each of these 16 national m...
متن کاملIran Railway Efficiency Analysis, Using DEA: An International Comparison
Efficiency measurement is critical for industries where firms do not face strong competition, as we cannot rely on the market to discipline the firms' efficiency. Railway is a typical example. At the same time the fact that railway produces multiple outputs using the common set of inputs calls for a delicate and sophisticated treatment in measuring the efficiencies. In this article, the DEA ...
متن کاملComparison between ontology distances
There are many reasons for measuring a distance between ontologies. In particular, it is useful to know quickly if two ontologies are close or remote before deciding to match them. To that extent, a distance between ontologies must be quickly computable. We present constraints applying to such measures and several possible ontology distances. Then we evaluate experimentally some of them in orde...
متن کاملUnhealthy Behaviours: An International Comparison
In the current global economy, chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have become the leading cause of death and a major health concern for both developed and developing countries. Among other factors, the worldwide spread of NCDs is driven by the globalisation of unhealthy habits. The purpose of this paper is to develop a simple statistic to measure, at the national level, the average popula...
متن کاملComparison of distances between measures
The problem of optimal transportation between a set of sources and a set of wells has become recently the object of new mathematical models generalizing the Monge-Kantorovich problem. These models are more realistic as they predict the observed branching structure of communication networks. They also define new distances between measures. The question arises of how these distances compare to th...
