On the basis of the pre-research of index system of province initial water rights allocation system, as well as the complexity and differences of the allocation system, the index system of province initial water rights allocation system in this paper is comprehensively designed first, and the index framework divided into three layers of target, criteria and index angles is established. Taking a...

Increasing competition for water across sectors increases the importance of the river basin as the appropriate unit of analysis to address the challenges facing water resources management; and modeling at this scale can provide essential information for policymakers in their resource allocation decisions. This paper introduces an integrated economic–hydrologic modeling framework that accounts f...

We report an experiment on three house allocation mechanisms under complete information: random serial dictatorship with squatting rights, and two variants of the top trading cycles mechanism. Results show that the latter two are significantly more efficient than the former. D 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In this paper we describe a model based approach to making resource allocation decisions driven by the value of those decisions to the business. We believe this enables a generic approach to realizing close-loop management. Our solution is centered on two technologies being developed at HP Labs: Quartermaster and Management by Business Objectives (MBO). Our approach was validated by a demonstra...

According to the newly introduced water resources management in China, which is the most stringent thus far, pollution limits of water functional zones should be enhanced. In response to this recent change, we propose a provincial initial water rights incentive allocation model with total pollutant discharge constraint. Firstly, three objective functions are set up, namely the maximum comprehen...

Decades of agricultural growth has led to the over appropriation of Yakima water and the ecological integrity of the Basin has been compromised. We evaluate the impact of current water allocation on the natural flow regime of the Yakima River using the Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration/Range of Variability Analysis and by quantifying indicators of ecosurplus and ecodeficit. We analyze the sus...

In view of the allocation of cash flow rights and control rights in venture capital firms, a financing contract model is set up by introducing the entrepreneur’s self-owned capital in this paper. This paper analyzes the affecting factors and mechanism to the allocation of cash flow rights and control rights, shows the relationship between cash flow rights and control rights, gives the bargain i...
