This paper discusses the impact of externalities on economic growth and the long term distribution of economic activities in a system of two regions. We use a standard neoclassical growth model of the Solow-type and augment it with a random process of innovation allocation. The long term behavior of this model is analyzed. As it turns out the dynamic behavior of our model differs fundamentally ...

The results of a functional analysis of problem behavior and a paired-choice assessment were compared to determine whether the same social reinforcers were identified for problem behavior and an appropriate response (time allocation). The two assessments were conducted in classroom settings with 4 adolescents with mental retardation who engaged in severe problem behavior. Each student's classro...

Fair sharing and efficient allocation of risks, returns and resources are considered cornerstones of Public Private Partnerships. However, allocation of certain risks, like demand risks, have emerged as pain points. This paper examines the impact of demand uncertainty on a firm’s bidding behavior. Applying econometric models, to check for inconsistencies in firm behavior, on bid data of toll ro...

In this paper, we consider the e-booking control problem which includes optimal pricing and capacity allocation. In pricing model, customers may refuse bookings based on their willingness to pay the quoted price. Since customer behavior and characteristics are highly varying and not known in advance, we develop a stochastic pricing model which tracks customer behavior as well as the arrival pro...

Dynamic resource allocation optimization model will be required to be perfect, and swarm intelligence processing model of dealing with dynamic resource allocation optimization problem is proposed in this paper. By establishing a mathematical model of quantum game theory a game theory based on the price mechanism is explored. Further, through finding the group behavior in swarm intelligence prot...

Many institutional and individual investors have an asset allocation policy that calls for investing a specified percentage of the total value of a portfolio in each of several asset classes. To conform with such a policy as market values change requires selling assets that performed relatively well and buying those that performed relatively poorly. Such a strategy is clearly contrarian and can...

Dynamic memory management is an important aspect of modern software engineering techniques. However, developers of real-time systems avoid using it because they fear that the worst-case execution time of the dynamic memory allocation routines is not bounded or is bounded with an excessively large bound. The degree to which this concern is valid is quantified in this paper, by giving detailed av...

Following the grounded theory approach among IT professionals in India we explored the contribution of technology allocation on their behavior. . We found that IT professionals evaluate the technology allocated to them based on their individual perceptions and needs. This evaluation, either positive or negative, influences their work outcomes. Further, we explored the factors that make a techno...
