Applications Of Multi-Attribute Utility Theory In The Health Care Delivery System Since 1970, Durjoy Kumar Chaudhuri, Arnold Reisman

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The Multi-Attribute Utility Theory is a special branch of a more generalized body of theories collectively known as "Decision Theory". Peter Fishburn described it as the "personalistic prescriptive theory of choice for individual decisions". It is personalistic because the decision maker is an indispensable component in almost every phase of research since his personal values and judgements are intimately involved in a decision-making activity. It should be stressed that the multi-attribute utility theory was never meant to be the panacea of any or all decision problems. It helps the decision maker to choose a strategy (or a course of action) …

Efficient Employment Of Cohorts Of Labor In The U.S. Economy: An Illustration Of A Method, A. E. Boardman, Steven M. Miller, A. P. Schinnar

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

This paper presents a model for the analysis of efficient labor force participation in the U.S. economy. Ridge regression estimates of the elasticities of cohorts of labor, classified by sex and occupation, are used in conjunction with wage data to illustrate the derivation of efficient allocation of labor cohorts in five economic sectors. These efficient constructs are compared with actual census data for 1960 and 1970. The results, while tentative, show a trend toward more efficient utilization of labor and greater participation by women in the work force.
