Relative Efficiency of Intermunicipal Provision

1998
The intermunicipal arrangement is one of the opportunities municipalities can use to redece their budget problems. Intermunicipal arrangements, privatizing activities, such as contracting out, and straightforward budget cuts were popular instruments used in response to the fiscal squeeze during the ‘eighties. It is conceivable that the establishment of

Relative efficiency of radiation sources for photopolymerization

Odontology, 2009
The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of new-generation light-emitting diode (LED) units in comparison with the conventional tungsten-halogen, plasma arc, and first-generation LED units reported in our previous study. The irradiance of light from new-generation LED units, the temperature rise of the bovine enamel surface, and the ...

Measuring Relative Efficiency and Effectiveness

2014
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has been used to supply decision makers and analysts with new insights into the efficiency of peer entities called decision making units (DMUs). The advantage of DEA is that it provides an objective data-driven assessment of performance, free of user bias.

Asymptotic relative efficiency

2012
The purpose of asymptotic relative efficiency is to compare two statistical procedures by comparing the sample sizes, n1 and n2, say, at which those procedures achieve some given measure of performance; the ratio n2/n1 is called the relative efficiency of procedure one with respect to procedure two.

The Pareto-Efficient Relativity of Relative Risk Aversion [PDF]

, 2005
In a pure-exchange economy involving one perishable consumption good and risk-averse consumers, the elasticity of a consumer’s Pareto-efficient consumption with respect to aggregate output equals the reciprocal of the ratio of the consumer’s coefficient of relative risk aversion to average relative risk aversion. Therefore, this elasticity is unity for

Redistributing Income and Relative Efficiency

Economic Inquiry, 2003
This article considers the relative efficiency of marginally redistributing income from high‐ to low‐income households. Additional spending on a negative income tax is compared with spending on an earnings or a wage subsidy. One set of reforms imposes the same burden on the nonpoor, and another set redistributes the same net benefit to the working poor.

Relative efficiency of solvents used in endodontics

Journal of Endodontics, 1998
A root canal model was used to test the relative efficiency of various commonly used endodontic solvents including eucalyptol, eucalyptus oil, orange oil, chloroform, and xylene to dissolve or soften gutta-percha and several different types of sealers (Proco-Sol, AH26, and Sealapex). There was no significant difference in the ability of the solvents to
