We formulate and study the requirement on an allocation rule that no agent should be able to benefit by augmenting his endowment through borrowing resources from the outside world (alternatively, by simply exaggerating it). We show that the Walrasian rule is not “borrowing-proof” even on standard domains. More seriously, no efficient selection from the endowments-lower-bound correspondence, or ...

Class Based Queueing (CBQ) is a link-sharing and resource management mechanism for packet networks. The weights of CBQ control the way with which the available bandwidth at the output interface of the router is distributed among the different classes of the input traffic. CBQ also disposes of rules for bandwidth borrowing based on a hierarchy of classes. In [1], we proposed a dynamic, self-tuni...

Financial market frictions distort the allocation of resources among productive units—all else equal, firms whose financing choices are affected by financial frictions face higher borrowing costs than firms with ready access to capital markets. As a result, input choices may differ systematically across firms in ways that are unrelated to their productive efficiency. We propose a simple account...

The exhaustive testing of software is time consuming and expensive process. The aim of software testing is to increase the reliability of software by spotting and fixing the bugs as early as possible. Sometimes it is very difficult to generate the actual test data and appropriate test environment to ensure viability of testing. In the arena of software engineering, now processes are being shift...

This paper proposes a continuous-time framework that explains some stylised facts in recent “twin crises” episodes. I show that access to the world capital market enables the domestic economy to achieve a more efficient allocation of resources. However, the banking sector becomes more fragile when this international borrowing is wealth-constrained. A temporary shock is amplified and becomes per...
