Across states, there is little correlation between a state’s marriage rate or cohabitation and own population. Within positive (no) (cohabitation) its population growth rate. The Cobb-Douglas matching function (CDMMF), which extends the Choo-Siow MMF to include peer effects, can rationalize these correlations. model easy estimate. CDMMF estimated using panel data across US states from 1990 2010...

the present paper investigates the effect of production factors, including technology, physical capital and labour on the energy consumption intensity of iran. for this purpose, time series data during the period of (1974-2007) have been analyzed within cobb–douglas production function framework. the results of the study indicate that the technology and the physical capital have caused the aver...

The ability to make decisions and to assess po­ tential courses of action is a comer-stone of many AI applications, and usually this requires explicit information about the decision-maker's prefer­ ences. In many applications, preference elic­ itation is a serious bottleneck. The user ei­ ther does not have the time, the knowledge, or the expert support required to specify complex multi-attribu...

Previous research has demonstrated that the production of information services can be characterized at the aggregate economy-wide level by the Cobb-Douglas production function. However, the underlying production process at the firm level has not yet been ascertained. The objective of this paper is to determine the form of the production process for information systems services at the firm level...

The primary aim of this paper is to illustrate the value of visualization in cartography and to indicate that tools for the generation and manipulation of realistic images are of limited value within this application. This paper demonstrates the value of visualization within one problem in cartography, namely the generalisation of lines. It reports on the evaluation of the Douglas-Peucker algor...

Proper relation algebras can be constructed using Z/pZ as a base set using a method due to Comer. The cycle structure of such an algebra must, in general, be determined a posteriori, normally with the aid of a computer. In this paper, we give an improved algorithm for checking the cycle structure that reduces the time complexity from O(p) to O(p).
