An Investigation Into The Elasticity Of Demand For Motor Gasoline, Samy Fouad El-Iskandarany
An Investigation Into The Elasticity Of Demand For Motor Gasoline, Samy Fouad El-Iskandarany
Dissertations and Theses
This thesis investigates the existence and determinants of the elasticity of demand for motor gasoline.
The research can be divided into four main stages. In the first stage, time series data of fifteen member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) are analyzed.
The ratio of gasoline price per gallon to the per capita GNP is introduced in this research to explain the variability in the size of the price elasticities of demand over the various countries. The ratio is called the "Price Factor" and designated as P.F. The introduction of P.F. established the basis for meaningful …
Bayesian Inquiry: An Approach To The Use Of Experts, King G. Yee
Bayesian Inquiry: An Approach To The Use Of Experts, King G. Yee
Dissertations and Theses
Subjective information is a valuable resource; however, decisionmakers often ignore it because of difficulties in eliciting it from assessors. This thesis is on Bayesian inquiry and it presents an approach to eliciting subjective information from assessors. Based on the concepts of cascaded inference and Bayesian statistics, the approach is designed to reveal to the decision-maker the way in which the assessor considers his options and the reasons he has for selecting particular alternatives. Unlike previous works on cascaded inferences, the approach here focuses on incoherency. Specifically, it employs the use of additional information to revise and check the estimates. The …

Complex Systems And The Price-Resource Directive Coordination Procedure, Chamberlain Lambros Foes
Dissertations and Theses
In this thesis, the problem considered is that of linear static optimization of a large system which is composed of a finite number of subsystems, each characterized by its own constraint matrix and objective function.
The total system is itself constrained by resource availabilities and other factors, and its objective function is the mathematical linear sum of the objective function of the subsystems. The total system constraints couple together all the subsystems. The total system is first reformulated as a two-level problem by decoupling the total system constraints utilizing an arbitrary partition of the total system resources and other factors …
