Asymmetrical Information Market Failure Triggered by the Chicago School's Profit Motive Paradigm: A Case Study of Virginia's Public Higher Education Market and Media Identification of Public Value Failure
… government intervention to correct market inefficiency and ensure pareto efficiency in the allocation of goods. Mandatory non-educational fees increase the cost to attend a post-secondary institution which subsequently aid in increased student debt and reduced access and affordability for low …

Fairness for resource allocation in cloud computing.
… fairness properties such as sharing-incentive, Pareto- efficiency, envy-free, and strategy-proof in general perspective. However, some of these promising features have not been satisfied for some users with demands dominated on a particular resource type that cause an allocation to be …

Eliciting and Aggregating Information for Better Decision Making
… many competing objectives including economic efficiency, fairness between participants, and strategic concerns.</p><p>In the first part of the thesis, we consider shared resource allocation, where we relax two common assumptions in the fair divison literature. Firstly, we relax the assumption …

Multivariable controller design using pareto front
… with a posteriori decision-making based on Pareto efficiency, level diagrams, hyper volumes and other performance indices is used to compare quantitatively the two controller structures when applied to a highly interactive multivariable system based on this plant.

Gender and Resource Allocation Decisions in Farm Households: Evidence from a South African Land Reform Programme
… participating in a land reform program make Pareto efficient intrahousehold consumption decisions. Using evaluation survey data of beneficiary households participating in South Africa’s Land Redistribution for Agricultural Development (LRAD) program, I estimate and test the unitary and …

Essays on real life allocation problems
… has more desirable features in terms of the cost efficiency for the housing offices. Then we include the welfare of the housing office in the welfare analysis and redefine the Pareto efficiency notion. We show that every fair matching is Pareto efficient. Based on the extended Pareto efficiency …

ECONOMICS AND EMPOWERMENT: CATALYSTS OR COMPETITORS?
… possible for such behavior to coexist with Pareto Efficiency in consumption. We use the Indian Human Development Survey to test the demand systems implied by two competing frameworks: collective bargaining and the framework that rationalizes aggregate inefficient behavior. We find that …

Evolutionary and genetic strategies for topology optimization of frameworks: pareto-comparisons and hybrid methods
… stress plane and later overlaying it with the Pareto Front (PF) for the two-objective problem of simultaneously minimising weight and the maximum stress within the structure. To study the Pareto-efficiency of the ESO method, the designs obtained by ESO are compared with the designs obtained …

Preference Games and Sink Equilibria
… equilibria satisfying the relevance axiom, while Pareto efficiency satisfies only the ordinality axiom. We show further that preference games implicitly capture in their graph structure the equivalences caused by renaming players or strategies, while expressing these equivalences in classical …

Barriers to the adoption and optimal use of savings and health technologies
… in the experiment is inconsistent with ex-ante Pareto efficiency and a variety of alternative models of intrahousehold resource allocation, but consistent with the proposed model of strategic savings. Savings misallocation due to strategic behavior may be substantial: in the experiment poorly …

Economies with public projects: theory and experimental evidence
… to the standard case of public goods, every Pareto efficient allocation is supported as an affine valuation equilibrium which is characterized with a price per unit of public good and a lump sum tax or subsidy. The second paper (Chapter 3), "Market Provision of Public Projects: Some …

Or Best Offer: A Privacy Policy Negotiation Protocol
