On the cost and benefit of cooperation
2015 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT), 2015In cooperative communication, network nodes that would otherwise act independently instead coordinate their efforts with the aim of improving communication performance. To better understand cooperation, we consider communication over a multiple access channel using a “cooperation facilitator”, a node that receives rate-limited message descriptions from

Some Benefits and Costs of Cost-Benefit Analysis
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021The American administrative state has become a cost-benefit state, at least in the sense that prevailing executive orders require agencies to proceed only if the benefits justify the costs. Some people celebrate this development; others abhor it. For defenders of the cost-benefit state, the antonym of their ideal is, alternately, regulation based on ...

Given the state-of-the-art in ontological engineering, we still lack costing models for software projects that adopt reusable ontological libraries. However, we can find such costing models in the standard software engineering literature. The COCOMO-II software cost estimation model offers an estimate of the cost of adapting reusable sub-routines for a

The cost and benefits of children
2018This chapter discusses the two concepts, benefits and costs of additional children. It considers in a bird’s eye view various approaches to estimate children costs, the concept of well-being and its operationalization, and focuses on the Leyden approach.

Benefit-Cost Analysis: Do The Benefits Exceed The Costs?
1996Abstract Many economists see benefit-cost analysis as a rational, analytic tool that is neutral in its values. They assert that benefit-cost analysis is essential for complicated social issues. Our eloquence about the value of this framework has enabled us to convince Congress to write benefit cost analysis into various laws and ...

British Medical Bulletin, 1974
There are not, and probably never will be, enough resources to satisfy the community's desires for things that improve the quality of life. This poses the necessity for choice, and hence the consideration of priorities. In the medical field two distinct kinds of choice arise: one at the clinical level and the other in the planning process. At the point

Benefits and costs of vaccination
Vaccine, 1992Vaccination programmes supported by the WHO and other organizations have dramatically reduced disease in developing countries, but there remains a need to extend coverage rates and expand the number of vaccines included. In industrialized countries, where paediatric vaccination is almost universal, there will be an increasing opportunity to protect ...

A Benefit-Cost Analysis of Benefit-Cost Analysis
2023Benefit/Cost Analysis (BCA) has a long history of being used as the primary tool aiding public decision-making. Two primary questions motivate this dissertation: 1. Do the results output by BCA add value and impact decision-making? and 2. Is BCA trustworthy enough that decision-makers should use it?

Only in a few European countries (Switzerland, France, Poland, Belgium, and some local projects in Germany) are minimally invasive breast biopsies (MIBB) reimbursed by health insurance. Public health authorities ask for detailed estimates and calculation of costs as well as laborious, expensive evaluation procedures as the basis for decision making ...
