The cost of variability

2008 IEEE International Symposium on Precision Clock Synchronization for Measurement, Control and Communication, 2008
We explore the robustness of synchronization performed in the presence of variable latencies using two software clocks: the TSCclock, designed to replace ntpd for Internet synchronisation, and ptpd, a software implementation of IEEE-1588. Using a precise comparison methodology the TSCclock is shown to be more accurate and far more robust.

Under the “pro rata” warranty policy, a failed item is replaced by a new one or is repaired at a cost prorated to the age of the failed item. Under the “free replacement” warranty policy, replacements or repairs during the warranty period are provided by the supplier ...

Omitted variable bias and hospital costs

Journal of Health Economics, 2001
This research examines the impact of omitted variables on the accuracy of parametric hospital cost function estimations based on Québec hospital level data. We assess the effect of omitted variables resulting from incomplete data on technology and performance measurement and on tests of the cost minimizing behavior of the institution.

In this paper the role of migrant networks in determining patterns of out‐migration is examined. Conditions under which migration equilibrium may permit multiple steady states are identified. The analysis discusses instances where migration generates its own demand and explains differences in migration propensities across potential sources of out ...
