Development of a joint product, timber supply model
The process analysis approach was chosen for modeling the joint product nature of timber supply. Considerable emphasis was placed upon defining model components that would be required for developing a positivistic model of timber supply. An empirical application of the proposed linear programming …

A timber supply model and analysis for southwest Virginia
A model was developed to estimate the economic stock supply of primary wood products. Two hardwood products were recognized: logs and bolts. The supply model was used to evaluate the impacts of shifting primary product demands and increasing supply costs on delivered prices and quantities in …

Development of a least cost energy supply model for the SADC region
… and improving livelihoods. Although better supply of energy does not automatically guarantee an acceleration of human development, it is a prerequisite for it. It is essential for preparation and conservation of food, for sanitation and for all productive activity. Finding effective means of …

Measuring the labor supply effect of income taxation using a life-cycle labor supply model: A case of Indonesia
… focus of this study is to estimate a life cycle model of labor supply including taxes for a developing economy by applying two methods of estimation. The first method is the cohort approach and the second approach is the consumption approach. The idea of the cohort approach is to create a …

Analysis of the United States Hop Market
… done revolving around the economic demand and supply model of the hop market. The objectives of this study are to create an econometric model of supply and demand of hops in the United States from 1981 to 2012, and to identify important exogenous variables that explain the supply and demand of …

On Estimating the Effect of Taxation On Labor Supply: A Methodological and Empirical Comparison of Four Estimation Procedures
… cross-sectional estimates of the male labor supply model, since additional estimates of the parameters of the male labor supply curve will provide a better understanding of an individual's labor supply response under a progressive tax scheme.

A comparative study of rural Virginia farm and non farm household labor supply
… two-adult farm and non-farm household labor supply on two levels: (1) labor market participation and (2) variations in labor supply to the market and to the home. The study develops three models: a selection model, a wage rate model, and a labor supply model. Estimation is performed with data …

Sustainability of New Hampshire's sawmill industry and its forest resource base
… resource in New Hampshire by developing a wood supply model. We modeled spatially explicit demand by mills based on procurement data incorporating market forces and simulated inventory, harvest and stumpage prices, for a fifty-year projection period. This is the first approximation of a …

Calibration of dynamic traffic assignment models with point-to-point traffic surveillance
Accurate calibration of demand and supply simulators within a Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) system is critical for the provision of consistent travel information and efficient traffic management. Emerging traffic surveillance devices such as Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) technology …

Off-line calibration of Dynamic Traffic Assignment models
… traffic data. Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) models have also been developed for a variety of dynamic traffic management applications. Such models are designed to estimate and predict the evolution of congestion through detailed models and algorithms that capture travel demand, network supply …

Assessments of long-term uranium supply availability
… availability of uranium. A two-form uranium supply model was used to estimate the date at which peak production will occur. The model assumes a constant annual rate of production growth to the peak, and a fixed reserves-to-production ratio thereafter. For mid-range assumptions of reserves and …

Engineering undergraduate enrollment and the engineering labor market: a lagged-supply analysis
… analysis was undertaken based on a lagged-supply model developed earlier by Richard Freeman. The analysis involved the replication of the Freeman model over the 1948-1972 period, the extension of the model through 1986, and the forecasting of first-year engineering enrollments up to the …

Development of a consumable inventory management strategy for the supply management unit
… consumable inventory management strategy for the Supply Management Unit (SMU) that will be applicable to other Department of Defense (DoD) supply support organizations. The SMU is a Marine Corps wholesale activity that provides Class IX (consumable repair part) supply support to 160 Marine Corps' …

The Supply and Demand of Physician Assistants in the United States: A Trend Analysis
The supply of non-physician clinicians (NPCs), such as physician assistant (PAs), could significantly influence demand requirements in medical workforce projections. This study predicts supply of and demand for PAs from 2006 to 2020. The PA supply model utilized the number of certified PAs, the …

Production upgrading and skills development in the Western Cape clothing sector: are industry requirements being met by institutional policy implications?
… of Lean Production and the Quick Response retail model. As clothing firms based in the Western Cape evolved their production strategies and moved up the value-chain and towards Lean Production methods and Quick Response capabilities, skills requirements also evolved. As such, suitable skills …

Waiting time distributions and national targets for elective surgery in UK: theoretical modelling and duration analysis
… over time. Chapter 4 provides a theoretical supply model on how a hospital manages its stock of patients given its objective function and the constraints it is faced with. We derive the optimal waiting time distribution and identify important factors that could explain the differences between …

Hog Profit Margin Hedging: A Long-term Out-of-sample Evaluation
… the expected profit margin with the simple supply model used by Kenyon and Clay. Addition of demand shifting variables to the model failed to significantly improve the prediction of expected profit margin or the hedging results. The hedging strategy was also affected by a significant …
