I extend the results of Barbier, Markandya, and Pearce on ‘operationalizing’ a concept of sustainability into appraisal methods for practical decisionmaking. I generalize their results in two directions. First, I abandon their implicit assumption that

Convergence Analysis For Non Linear System Of Parabolic Variational Inequalities [PDF]
This work aims to provide a comprehensive and unified numerical analysis for non linear system of parabolic variational inequalities (PVIs) subject to Dirichlet boundary condition. This analysis enables us to establish an existence of the exact solution to the considered model and to prove the convergence for the approximate solution and its ...

Some notes on Goodman's marginal-free correspondence analysis [PDF]
In his seminal paper Goodman (1996) introduced marginal-free correspondence analysis; where his principal aim was to reconcile Pearson correlation measure with Yule's association measure in the analysis of contingency tables. We show that marginal-free correspondence analysis is a particular case of correspondence analysis with prespecified weights ...

Equity in cost-benefit analysis [PDF]
One key way that many governments around the world incorporate scientific research into policy-making is through cost-benefit analysis (CBA). But despite well-established practices for rigorous estimation of the pros and cons of policies, there is room to improve, particularly in characterizing difficult-to-measure benefits and the distribution of the ...
