A basic assumption is that, beyond a certain point, credit expansion carries with it the virus of financial crisis which, however, is not internalized by individual agents. Then, it proceeds to discu...
متن کاملReal-Time Building Information Modeling (BIM) Synchronization Using Radio Frequency Identification Technology and Cloud Computing System
The online observation of a construction site and processes bears significant advantage to all business sector. BIM is the combination of a 3D model of the project and a project-planning program which improves the project planning model by up to 6D (Adding Time, Cost and Material Information dimensions to the model). RFID technology is an appropriate information synchronization tool between the...

Less information reduces the assortativity of the resulting matching, which reduces welfare, but also mitigates competition and reduces ...
