Rawlsian optimal population size.
"In this paper, I examine the implications of the Rawlsian maximin criterion for optimal population size and intergenerational allocation of resource when fertility is endogenous. I show that whenever children are better-off than their parents in laissez-faire, then the size of the population and parental bequests are also optimal according to the Rawlsian criterion....I then show that by usi...
متن کاملOptimal Local Exchange Carrier Size
Optimal firm size and patterns of returns to scale among the local exchange companies in the U.S. telecommunications industry are estimated for the years: 1975, 1978, 1981, 1984, 1987 and 1990. The independent companies display increasing returns to scale, while the Baby Bells display constant or decreasing returns to scale. The independent companies operate at a scale smaller than optimal size...
متن کاملWildlife population trends in protected areas predicted by national socio-economic metrics and body size
Ensuring that protected areas (PAs) maintain the biodiversity within their boundaries is fundamental in achieving global conservation goals. Despite this objective, wildlife abundance changes in PAs are patchily documented and poorly understood. Here, we use linear mixed effect models to explore correlates of population change in 1,902 populations of birds and mammals from 447 PAs globally. On ...
متن کاملOptimal Population Size and the Genetic Algorithm
We conduct experiments to determine the optimum population size for problems as the instance size varies. We show that increasing the population size increases the accuracy of the GA. Increasing population size also causes the number of generations to converge to increase. The optimal population for a given problem is the point of inflection where the benefit of quick convergence is offset by i...
