伦敦交通拥挤的代价

本文通过描述伦敦交通拥挤收费制的起源以及现实中如何克服理论和实践层面的两难实施过程,对道路收费所引致的各种效应进行了论证.作者认为伦敦交通拥挤收费制的引入,应该归功于经济学的贡献,道路定价行动在克服交通拥挤的外部性上,不过是一种应对公众和政治利益诉求的适宜性政策回应.     

Correlation of acid gas-ethanolamine equilibrium using ionic concentrations

Experimental equilibrium measurements are modeled using a Davies-like ionic strength correction term for the reaction equilibrium constants. Calculated and experimental results are in much better agreement when the ionic strength correction terms are used.     

Case for Evaluating Protection in an Economy-wide Perspective

‘Whether protectionism spreads, imposing major harm on the world economy, depends on three factors: the costs and benefits of trade for domestic political actors; these actors’ access to and control over the process of government; and the extent to which international commitments and obligations to trade policy are viewed as binding by national governments’ —Costs and Benefits of Protection (Paris: OECD Secretariat, 1985)

Development of an inclined plate jet reactor system

A new design combines reaction or extraction and separation in one unit. Here are practical working details.     

Property insurance considerations in loss prevention expenditures

Certain components comprise the Property Insurance premium. The sensitivity of those components to changes in the risk are analyzed considering the insurance market. The cyclic nature of the insurance market can also impact a Property Insurance program in other, less tangible, ways. Tangible premium charges and other intangible costs of risk which are dependent upon Loss Prevention expenditures are broadly quantified. Those factors which can be useful in determining the cost effectiveness of loss prevention expenditures are discussed in detail.
