Valuing PSS outputs and quality changes
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The Gershon review of efficiency recommended that target improvements in efficiency should be met both through financial savings and through improvements in quality of outputs. We report here on a pilot project designed to feed into an approach for local authorities to quantify in monetary terms quality gains in the provision of personal social services (PSS), with a specific application to the provision of home care for older people.

متن کاملValuing Water Quality Improvements Using Revealed Preference Methods When Corner Solutions
When valuing water resources using multiple site recreation data, it is typical to observe many corner solutions. We present as a benchmark a theoretical model of recreation choice when corners are present, and assess the degree to which several empirical specifications match the benchmark. As an illustration, we estimate and compare the repeated nested logit, a random parameters repeated neste...

The power system dynamic instability is occurred by loosing balance relation between electrical generation and a varying load demand that justifies the necessity of using Power System Stabilizer (PSS). Moreover, the PSS must have the capability of producing appropriate stabilizing signals with limited practical amplitude and it should be robust against a wide range of operating conditions and d...
