Energy conservation and greenhouse gas (GHG) abatement have been included in the national development strategy of China, however, the rigidity in command-and-control, absence of market-mechanism and arbitrariness in assignment of abatement burden across regions have caused unnecessary losses in both economic efficiency and social equity. In this paper, we established an Inter-Regional CGE model...

In this paper the impact of investment specific technical progress on investment allocation is studied by using an extended version of the Feldman’s two sector model that takes into account embodied technical progress. The aim of the paper is to analyze the impact of investment specific technical progress on the optimal allocation of investment, economic growth and structural change.

Allocation of construction risks between clients and their contractors has a significant impact on the total construction costs. This paper presents a system dynamics (SD)-based approach for quantitative risk allocation. Using the proposed SD based approach, all the factors affecting the risk allocation process are modeled. The contractor’s defensive strategies against the one-sided risk alloca...

Several R&D-based models of endogenous economic growth are investigated under the Solow-like assumption of fixed allocation of resources across activities. We identify model parameters that lead to explosive dynamics and analyze various economic techniques to avoid it. The techniques include adding stricter constraints on model trajectories and limiting factors in technology equation. In partic...

There are many different ways to allocate resources in cloud computing. The economic methods are some of common ways to resource allocation. The auction-based method has some advantages compared with Fixed-Price method. The double combinatorial auction is one of the proper ways of resource allocation in cloud computing. Resource allocation in double combinatorial auction includes two phases. Th...

In this paper, the new approach for the transmission reliability cost allocation (TRCA) problem is proposed. In the conventional TRCA problem, for calculating the contribution of each user (generators & loads or contracts) in the reliability margin of each transmission line, the outage analysis is performed for all system contingencies. It is obvious that this analysis is very time-consuming fo...

resource allocation techniques have recently appeared as a widely recognized feature in lte networks. most of existing approaches in resource allocation focus on maximizing network’s utility functions. the great potential of utility function in improving resource allocation and enhancing fairness and mean opinion score (mos) indexes has attracted large efforts over the last few years. in this p...

this paper addresses the mixed integer reliability redundancy allocation problems to determine simultaneous allocation of optimal reliability and redundancy level of components based on three objective goals. system engineering principles suggest that the best design is the design that maximizes the system operational effectiveness and at the same time minimizes the total cost of ownership (tco...
