چکیده
This paper applies an equilibrium quality theory for differentiated products to estimate the willingness to pay for improvements in the air quality of Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Houston, and Indianapolis. The empirical results show (i) that the structural approach and the standard non-structural approach give very different benefit figures even for small improvements in air quality, and (ii) that a uniform improvement in air quality implies significant distributional effects.

متن کاملObject - Based Unawareness : Theory and Applications ∗
In this paper and its companion paper, Board & Chung [4], we provide foundations for a model of unawareness that can be used to distinguish between what an agent is unaware of and what she simply does not know. At an informal level, this distinction plays a key role in a number of recent papers such as Tirole [27] and Chung & Fort-now [6]. Here we provide a set-theoretic (i.e. non-linguistic) v...
متن کاملModeling and scheduling no-idle hybrid flow shop problems
Although several papers have studied no-idle scheduling problems, they all focus on flow shops, assuming one processor at each working stage. But, companies commonly extend to hybrid flow shops by duplicating machines in parallel in stages. This paper considers the problem of scheduling no-idle hybrid flow shops. A mixed integer linear programming model is first developed to mathematically form...
متن کاملThe Polarity-Dependent Effects of the Bilateral Brain Stimulation on Working Memory
Introduction: Working memory plays a critical role in cognitive processes which are central to our daily life. Neuroimaging studies have shown that one of the most important areas corresponding to the working memory is the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLFPC). This study was aimed to assess whether bilateral modulation of the DLPFC using a noninvasive brain stimulation, namely transcranial di...
