Finding the Cost of Control [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2013 A large and growing literature has demonstrated that explicit incentives, such as enforceable contracts, can lead agents to withhold effort. We investigate when this behavioral result arises. In an extensive laboratory experiment, we find that imposing control through an enforceable contract is only detrimental to principals in a special case when: (1)

Controlling the Cost of Quality Control
Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 1986In the present era of expanding technology coexisting with economic constraint, appropriate quality control criteria to monitor laboratory performance must take into consideration not only analytic precision and medical utility, but also cost effectiveness.

Controlling the Cost of Medicaid
New England Journal of Medicine, 2017Opportunities for bipartisan compromise to improve Medicaid’s value may lie in greater flexibility for states, realignment of incentives related to long-term services, improved integration of physical and behavioral health care, and efforts to lower drug costs.

Optimal control with a cost of changing control
2013 Australian Control Conference, 2013In this paper, we consider a class of optimal control problems where the variation of the control variable is appended as a penalty term into the cost function to reduce the fluctuation of the control. A new computational approach is developed for solving this type of problems, based on control parametrization technique used in conjunction with the ...

Drift Control with Changeover Costs
Operations Research, 2011We model the problem of managing capacity in a build-to-order environment as a Brownian drift control problem and seek a policy that minimizes the long-term average cost. We assume the controller can, at some cost, shift the processing rate among a finite set of alternatives, for example by adding or removing staff, increasing or reducing the number ...

In the last 10 years, there has been general agreement that niclosamide (bayluscide) is the preferred molluscicide for control of the snails transmitting Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma haematobium. This chemical has been widely tested in pilot projects and is in use in expanded control projects in Brazil, Puerto Rico, Egypt, Iran, and other ...

1993
The design of buildings takes place in phases representing a development from rough to precision planning. Estimates are made in order to test whether the result is still within the budget set by the client or developer. In this way, the decisions taken during the design phase can be quantified and expressed in monetary terms.

Cost control aims at ensuring that resources are used to the best advantage. In these days of ever-increasing costs the majority of promoters of building work are insisting on projects being designed and executed to give maximum value for money. Hence, quantity surveyors are employed to an increasing extent during the design stage to advise architects ...
