Review of theoretical models for cost-effectiveness and of procedures currently being used by different levels of decision makers to evaluate the projects or alternatives is the main objective of this article. To come to some conclusion that which theoretical model would be more effective to be applied for allocating the limited resources among different projects. the performance evaluation pro...

Bicriteria Resource Allocation Problem in Pert Networks

We develop a bicriteria model for the resource allocation problem in PERT networks, in which the total direct costs of the project as the first objective, and the mean of project completion time as the second objective are minimized. The activity durations are assumed to be independent random variables with either exponential or Erlang distributions, in which the mean of each activity duration ...

China's regional sustainability and diversified resource allocation: DEA environmental assessment on economic development and air pollution

a r t i c l e i n f o Environmental protection, including the prevention of air pollution and health hazard materials such as PM2.5 and PM10, is now a very serious policy issue in China after attaining the rapid economic growth and development.

Family Resource Allocation and the Distribution of Health Benefits of Air Pollution Control By:

Protecting human health is a central goal of environmental policy, but with the exception of the age distribution of mortality from air pollution, relatively little is known about the distribution of economic benefits of health improvements from pollution control. This paper examines the distribution within and between families using a model of family resource allocation. The model illustrates ...
