This study tests whether international reserve accumulation is inflationary because of moral hazard and incentive effects. We use the 2009 allocation Special Drawing Rights (SDR) as a natural experiment to trace effect an exogenous nonmonetary shock on International Monetary Fund members' holdings. In countries that received large SDR allocations, inflation was about half percentage point highe...

This paper gives a constructive proof that the register allocation problem for a uniform register set is solvable in polynomial time for SSA-form programs.  2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The 1997 United Nations Convention on the Law of Non-navigational Uses International Watercourses (UNWC) contains a negotiation framework for transboundary water rights. However, it is subjective document open to wide range possibilities and interpretations. Water Rights Allocations (WRAs) as described by Dinar Nigatu (2013) Tsur (2017) provide limited number quantifiable allocation based UNWC....

This paper proposes the network data envelopment analysis (DEA) model accounting for negative externalities and applies it for decomposition of profit inefficiency in the biomass-agriculture circular system (Bio-AG system). A circular structure of the Bio-AG system which is different from the previously applied network structures is assumed. Since the negative externalities (i.e., pollutant emi...

An objective of the next. generation network is the accommodation of services wit,h different QoS requirements. This indicates that the network should provide special mechanisms in order to prioritize the access to network node resources, such as link capacity and buffer space. We studied the performance of sharing buffer space and link capacity bet.ween sessions, the traffic of which is modele...

INTRODUCTION Facility location decisions are costly and difficult to change. One of the most important issues in facility location problem and specifically supply chain management is locating and allocating the distribution centers. These strategic decisions are critical factors of whether materials will flow efficiently through the chain network. The location of distribution centers are affect...

The efficient use of available licensed spectrum is becoming more and more critical with increasing demand and usage of the radio spectrum. This paper shows how the use of spectrum as well as dynamic spectrum management can be effectively managed and spectrum allocation schemes in the wireless communication systems be implemented and used, in future. This paper would be an attempt towards bette...

Due to the isochronous nature of multimedia streams, jitter management; represents a major challenge to synchronized and timely presentation of multimedia documents. For controlling jitter, we propose the Initial Delay Regulator (IDR). This regulator is based on a network model which abstracts jitter parameters inside a data network. As a result of employing such a regulator, jitter at the dest...

Organizations owning a datacenter and leasing resources from public clouds need to efficiently manage this heterogeneous infrastructure. In order to do that, automatic management of processing, storage, and networking is desirable to support the use of both private and public cloud resources at the same time, composing the so-called hybrid cloud. In this chapter, the authors introduce the hybri...
