Developmental regulation of TCR efficiency
European Journal of Immunology, 2000Unresponsiveness of mature T cells to the same self-peptide/self-MHC molecule complexes with which thymocytes have reacted during positive selection results from an increase of activation thresholds during maturation. The molecular events accounting for this increase are still unknown.

The Efficient Regulation of Consumer Information
The Journal of Law and Economics, 1981CONSUMER protection regulation has come under increasing fire from Congress, the courts, and the business community. Regulations have been criticized as costly, economically irrational, rigid, and paternalistic. 1 One response to these charges has been a movement away from traditional forms of regulation and toward interventions that are more ...

Regulation and Efficiency in Drug Wholesaling
The Journal of Industrial Economics, 1977THIS article deals with the role of distribution structure and practices for an economically effective supply to the public of pharmaceutical products. Due to their special character, marketing of pharmaceuticals is in many countries subject to rather strict regulations, based on health care considerations.

Regulation and efficiency in markets with friction
49th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), 2010We analyse the efficiency of markets with friction, particularly power markets. We model the market as a dynamic system with {d t ; t ≥ 0} the demand process and {s t ; t ≥ 0} the supply process. Using stochastic differential equations to model the dynamics with friction, we investigate the efficiency of the market under an integrated expected cost ...

Efficiency and Environmental Regulation
Environmental and Resource Economics, 2000This paper proposes an extension of the enhancedefficiency indices of Fare, Grosskopf, Lovell andPasurka (1989) that considers undesirable outputsasymmetrically by assuming that firms can freelydispose of some undesirable productions, but areduction of other bad outputs generates a cost interms of desirable outputs.

On the Assessment of Regulators' Efficiency: An Application to European Telecommunications [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009 PurposeThe aim of this paper is to provide a new and simple approach to the empirical assessment of the internal efficiency of national regulatory authorities (NRAs) based on outcomes on regulated markets. Moreover, in order to illustrate this approach, the authors apply the proposed methodology to telecommunications.Design/methodology/approachFirst ...

Asymptotically Efficient Self-Tuning Regulators
SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 1987The paper is concerned with the issue of convergence in self-tuning control. In adaptive control, there is a conflicting requirement on the control input to provide on the one hand good output regulation and on the other hand sufficient excitation so as to provide reliable parameter estimates.

The impact of CON regulation on hospital efficiency
Health Care Management Science, 2009In this paper we propose an empirically implementable measure of aggregate-level efficiency along the lines of Debreu's (1951) coefficient of resource utilization but restricted to the production side. The efficiency measure is based on directional distance functions, which allows the overall measure of efficiency to be decomposed into measures of ...

Is telecommunications regulation efficient? An international perspective
Telecommunications Policy, 2008This article addresses the question of the efficiency of regulation policies in the telecommunications sector. We first recall the different components of efficiency (in particular static and dynamic ones). We identify the main policies used in order to reach them, distinguishing effective competition from industrial policies.
