摘要:A new concept is proposed for linking algebraic modeling languages with structure-exploiting solvers. SPI (Structure-Passing Interface) is a program that retrieves structure new concept is proposed for linking algebraic modeling languages with structure from an anonymous mathematical program built by an algebraic modeling language. SPI passes the special structure of the problem to an SES (Structure-Exploiting Solver). An integration of SPI and SES leads to SET (Structure-Exploiting Tool) and ...

摘要:We assess the cost-effectiveness of maintenance treatment for heroin addiction, with emphasis on its role in preventing HIV infection. The analysis is based on a dynamic compartmental model of the HIV epidemic among a population of adults, ages 18 to 44. The population is divided into nine compartments according to infection status and risk group. The model takes into account disease transmission from drug injection and sexual contacts. The health benefits of methadone maintenance and the resu...

Analyzing the global environmental standards of a sample of U.S.-based MNEs in relation to their stock market performance, we find that firms adopting a single stringent global environmental standard have much higher market values, as measured by Tobin's q...
