Although contracting with health plans can produce a wealth of patients for a medical practice, it can also increase practice overhead substantially and result in deeply discounted fees. As a result, many family physicians have had to see more patients in a day and work more hours just to maintain their income. Others have responded to these pressures by reinventing an old practice model – cash...

This paper discusses a survey regarding electronic cash that was done in University of Puerto Rico in 2004. This survey analyses what the students think about electronic cash as a...

In this paper we study algorithms for pricing of interest rate instruments using a lattice interest model. The price is defined as expected discounted cash flow. If the cash-flows generated by the instrument depend on the full or partial history of the interest rates (path dependent contracts), then the pricing algorithms are typically of exponential complexity. We show that for some models, in...

Under this initiative, direct cash payments are provided to eligible poor and vulnerable households, who send their children to primary and secondary schools, and whose mothers and children receive regular preventive care at local health clinics.

Using variations in local real estate prices as exogenous shocks to corporate financing capacity, we investigate the causal effects of financial flexibility on cash policies of US firms. Building on this natural experiment, we find strong evidence that increases in real estate values lead to smaller corporate cash reserves, declines in the marginal value of cash holdings, and lower cash flow se...

But it seems that these studies were not comprehensive and further investigation is required. So to design a valid and enforceable mechanism, the study of policy interventions will be considered through consensus of all stakeholders. This investigation was done...

Many of the most important government programs make transfers in kind as opposed to in cash. Making transfers in kind has the obvious cost that recipients would at least weakly prefer cost-equivalent cash transfers. But making transfers in kind can have benefits as well, including better targeting transfers to desired recipients. In this paper, we exploit large-scale randomized experiments run ...

This note reviews the targeting performance of Bolsa Família and its impact on inequality, poverty, consumption, education, health care, and labor force participation. Bolsa Família has several design and implementation characteristics that distance it from a pure human-capital-based conditional cash transfer model. For that reason, we compare the impact of Bolsa Família to that of other condit...
