In 1998, the West report on higher education in Australia considered possible changes to the monies allocated to universities on the basis of research. One method of doing this, and its implications, were discussed by David Phillips in an article in The Australian. The questions raised are treated here as an abstract resource allocation problem, and the discussion is not neccesarily restricted ...

The world in the model is a distillation of fifteen years of concentrated work by a major philosopher and historian of economics. Mary Morgan's topic is how economists use models. Her aim is " to offer both a history of the naturalization of modelling in economics and a naturalized philosophy of science for economics ". Recognising that " science is messy " , she presents " a series of historic...

We study the history and recent developments in nonelementarymodel theory focusing on the framework of abstractelementary classes. We discuss the role of syntax and semanticsand the motivation to generalize first order model theory to nonelementaryframeworks and illuminate the study with concrete examplesof classes of models. This first part introduces the main conceps and philosophies anddiscu...

We use a Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm jointly to estimate the parameters of a ‘true’ data generating mechanism and those of a sequence of approximating models that a monetary authority uses to guide its decisions. Gaps between a true expectational Phillips curve and the monetary authority’s approximating non-expectational Phillips curve models unleash inflation that a monetary au...

Sector-level Phillips curves are estimated in French data. There is considerable heterogeneity across sectors, with vastly different estimates of the backward looking component of inflation and the duration of nominal rigidities. A multi-sector model of inflation dynamics is calibrated on the basis of these sectoral estimates. Aggregate inflation, simulated on the basis of heterogeneous sectors...

in this paper, we obtain a suitable mathematical model for the seismic response of dams. by using the shear beam model (sb model), we give a mathematical formulation that it is a partial differential equation and transform it to the sturm-liouville equation.
