Do Tougher Licensing Provisions Limit Occupational Entry? The Case of Dentistry [PDF]
The effect of licensing as a mechanism to control entry into occupations has been a neglected area of both regulation and labor market research. This study examines the role of occupational licensing for entry into dentistry, an occupation with standards

Individual Expectations and Aggregate Behavior in Learning to Forcast Experiments [PDF]
Models with heterogeneous interacting agents explain macro phenomena through interactions at the micro level. We propose genetic algorithms as a model for individual expectations to explain aggregate market phenomena.

Modelling repeated epidemics with general infection kernels : this thesis is presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Information Science in Mathematics at Massey University [PDF]
, 2003 This thesis is on mathematical modelling in epidemiology, exploring the generic characteristics of diseases in two different population structures. Integral equations are used, to model the epidemics in each generation (of the epidemic).

Recursion-transform method on computing the complex resistor network with three arbitrary boundaries
, 2015 We perfect the recursion-transform method to be a complete theory, which can derive the general exact resistance between any two nodes in a resistor network with several arbitrary boundaries.

A NONLINEAR MODEL OF INFORMATION AND COORDINATION IN HOG PRODUCTION: TESTING THE COASIAN-FOWLERIAN DYNAMIC HYPOTHESES [PDF]
The pig-cycle 'explanation' expunded by Coase and Fowler followed a well-integrated economic logic and provides tremendous insight into our understanding of commodity cycles. The paper presents a simulation model that replicates all of Coase and Fowler's

Cyclical Occupational Choice in a Model with Rational Wage Expectations and Perfect Occupational Mobility [PDF]
In many professional labor markets the number of new workers follows a cyclical time path. This phenomenon is usually explained by means of a cobweb model that is based on the assumptions of myopic wage expectations and occupational immobility.

THE IMPACT OF PRODUCTION DECISIONS ON THE BALANCE PERFECT MARKET. AN INTERACTIVE STUDY [PDF]
Analele Universităţii Constantin Brâncuşi din Târgu Jiu : Seria Economie, 2011 Given that the market equilibrium at a given time t is the result of ratio of product demand, at the same moment of time t, and the supply launched at an earlier time t − Δt , and given that the product remains on the market until the sale was full ...

The structure and formation of natural categories [PDF]
Categorization and concept formation are critical activities of intelligence. These processes and the conceptual structures that support them raise important issues at the interface of cognitive psychology and artificial intelligence.
