An Optimal Tax System* [PDF]

open access: possibleFiscal Studies, 2011
AbstractA notable feature and principal virtue of Tax by Design is its system‐wide perspective on different elements of the tax system. This review essay builds on this trait and offers a more explicit foundation for the report's general approach, drawing on a distribution‐neutral methodology that is developed in other work.

Optimal card payment systems

European Economic Review, 2001
Abstract This paper presents a model of a card payment system to address the pricing and rules that govern such systems. It evaluates the social optimality of privately set interchange fees and the adoption of a rule by payment systems to prevent merchants surcharging for card transactions using two extremes of merchant pricing—monopolistic pricing ...

System Optimal Signal Optimization Formulation

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2006
A mixed-integer linear programming formulation is proposed to solve the combined system optimal dynamic traffic assignment and signal optimization problem. Traffic conditions are modeled with the cell transmission model, a convergent numerical approximation to the hydrodynamic model of traffic flow.

MOPS — Mathematical optimization system

European Journal of Operational Research, 1994
Abstract This paper discusses a software system for solving large scale linear and mixed-integer optimization models. The system in its present form is the result of several years of research and development. The first functional version of MOPS was completed 1987 for the IBM 6150 (a predecessor of the RS/6000) under AIX.

Optimal Design of Predenitrification Systems

Water Environment Research, 2006
A coupled model of biological and settling phases aimed at optimal design of predenitrification systems is presented. Each unknown is obtained in explicit form, and is expressed as a function of the system's required performance. A model, taking into account both suspended and dissolved substrates, is adopted for the biological phase, while the ...

Optimality with hydropower system

IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, 2002
This paper studies an electricity producer's long-term optimality in the case of a multireservoir hydropower system. The model solves the optimal production process and trading strategy of electricity and weather derivatives by maximizing the utility from production and terminal water reservoir level.

Optimization of Optical Systems

Applied Optics, 1966
The power signal-to-noise ratios for coherent and noncoherent optical detection are presented, with the expression for noncoherent detection being examined in detail. It is found that for the long range optical system to compete with its microwave counterpart it is necessary to optimize the optical system.

Optimizing Nursing Information Systems

JONA: The Journal of Nursing Administration, 1992
Financial, billing, and admission/discharge/transfer software applications have been available for years. Many administrators are purchasing systems to obtain automation to support nursing needs. However, administrators cannot rely on internal experience or software vendors to design their systems because not many have been operational long enough to ...

Pneumatic conveying system optimization

2013 IEEE-IAS/PCA Cement Industry Technical Conference, 2013
Pneumatic conveying has many advantages over other material transport options, including flexibility in design, fewer wear parts, lower maintenance costs, minimized dust problems, and higher system availability. However, pneumatic conveying systems typically require more energy than mechanical systems, particularly when the system is not optimally ...
