Abstract:

Thesis (M. Eng. in Logistics)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Engineering Systems Division, 2003.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 45-46).<br>The study surveys the relationship of logistics cost and total factor productivity (TFP). The paper discusses the theoretical aspect of TFP growth estimation and the concept of logistics cost as percentage of GDP as the factor indicating efficiency in logistics operations. Calculation of TFP from 1960-2001 is obtained by using growth accounting method. Linear regression analysis between logistics cost and TFP shows significant correlati

Abstract:

Industry-level equity research is a relatively small but rapidly growing area of interest to finance academics. Costs of equity estimation as well as investigations into various anomalies such as the momentum, contrarian, value and size effects have mostly focused on individual stock returns rather than industry returns. Using a sample of U.S. industry returns, this thesis investigates two broad areas: industry cost of equity estimation and aspects of industry return predictability. This thesis presents three empirical chapters that cover industry cost of equity estimation, an examination of t

Abstract:

Front-end converters with power factor correction (PFC) capability are widely used in distributed power systems (DPSs). Most of the front-end converters are implemented using a two-stage approach, which consists of a PFC stage followed by a DC/DC converter. The purpose of the front-end converter is to regulate the DC output voltage, supply all the load converters connected to the distributed bus, guarantee current sharing, and charge a bank of batteries to provide backup energy when the power grid breaks down. One of the main concerns of the power supply industry is to obtain a front-end conv

Abstract:

This dissertation first develops a theoretical framework to enable the estimation of cost efficiency and conduct parameter without total cost data. By validating this framework using U.S. airline data, this dissertation shows the feasibility of the theoretical framework. Based on the estimates of marginal cost efficiency and conduct parameter, this dissertation also finds some support for the Quiet Life Hypothesis. In Chapter III, this dissertation analyzes the determinants for price dispersion, especially conduct parameter and cost efficiency. Generally speaking, we find negative relationship

Abstract:

This master thesis considers and evaluates a few different risk models for stock portfolios, including an ordinary sample covariance matrix, factor models and an approach inspired from random matrix theory. The risk models are evaluated by simulating minimum variance portfolios and employing a cross-validation. The Bloomberg+ transaction cost model is investigated and used to optimize portfolios of stocks, with respect to a trade off between the active risk of the portfolio and transaction costs. Further a few different simulations are performed while using the optimizer to rebalance long-only

Abstract:

The Swedish electricity market was historically based on predictable and controllable power plants. The introduction variable renewable energy (VRE) sources in the market have led to less predictability and larger short-term variations in the generation profiles. These effects are compounded as the market share of VRE sources are increasing, and in Sweden’s case as the nuclear power plants are being phased out. Different metrics of value are calculated to shed light on the economic potential of new power sources. A not yet commonly used metric is the value factor of a technology, which represe

This thesis contains five interrelated studies. The systematic review in this thesis reveals that the incidence of fall-related injury in older Chinese people ranges from 0.6% to 19.5%, and the cost ranges from US$16 to US$3,812 per person per fall. The main risk factors were age, female sex, walking aid use, living environment, chronic disease, medication usage, visual impairment and a fall direction other than forwards. Two epidemiologic analyses found that compared with nulliparous women, the adjusted Hazard Ratios for hip fracture were 0.89 (95% CI: 0.72, 1.10) for women with one child, 0.

A production system converts raw materials into finished goods by various processes. The processes could occur parallel in order to reduce the time taken to complete the processes. Critical path in production systems is the maximum time taken to complete processes occurring in parallel. Identifying critical paths are important because, in order to improve the cycle time emphasis needs to be given to the critical path. Critical path is usually a single path in deterministic processing times. Due to variability more than one path might tend to be critical within the same system. The initial part

In the first essay I investigate the presence of productivity convergence in eight regional pulp and paper industries of U.S. and Canada over the period of 1971-2005. Expectation of productivity convergence in the pulp and paper industries of Canadian provinces and of the states of its southern neighbour is high since they are trading partners with fairly high level of exchanges in both pulp and paper products. Moreover, they share a common production technology that changed very little over the last century. I supplement the North-American region

Abstract:

Over that past three decades, power sector reform has been a key pillar of policy agendas in more than half of the countries across the world. This thesis specifically concerns the empirical investigation of the economic performance of the international electricity generation industry. Drawing on the stochastic frontier analysis techniques, the thesis considers the influence of reform as exogenous factors in shifting frontier technology as well as shaping inefficiency function directly -determinants and heteroscedasticity variables. The first essay uses an extensive panel dataset of 91 countri

Abstract:

Since the early 1900's demand for fuel efficient vehicles has motivated the development of electric and hybrid electric vehicles. Unfortunately, some components used in these vehicles are expensive and complex. Today's consumer electric vehicles use dangerously high voltage,expensive electronic controllers, complex battery management systems and AC motors. The goal of this research at BYU is to increase safety by lowering the operating voltage and decrease cost by eliminating expensive controllers and decrease the number of battery cells. This paper specifically examines the use of a Ward Leon

Abstract:

En el Perú, no se ha determinado un procedimiento estándar para registrar y cuantificar el retrabajo en la construcción de edificios multifamiliares, lo que se ha traducido en una discrepancia en los resultados de los distintos estudios desarrollados. Además, el objetivo es plantear un método que permitirá a las empresas identificar la dimensión de los costos de retrabajo en la edificación de los proyectos y reconocer sus causas principales con el objetivo de implementar estrategias de prevención en el futuro. Al considerar que las constructoras trabajan con contratistas de su entera confi

This research used a case study based approach to test Abts’ CBS Functional Density Rule of Thumb (Abts, 2002; 2004) and to identify the factors influencing the costs of COTS-based systems by means of statistical analysis of a large component dataset from IBM, Grounded Theory analysis of a series of interviews with software architects and project managers and an extended literature review. Whilst the use of Glaser’s (1978) Grounded Theory approach provided support for Abts’ theory the statistical analysis provided no support for the theory that maximising the amount of system functionality pro

Abstract:

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a major cause of progressive joint damage and disability, and is associated with decline in quality of life, reduced ability to work and increased health care utilisation. The economic consequences of the disease are substantial for the individuals and their families and for the society as a whole. This thesis describes a 5-year follow up of 320 patients with early RA, enrolled between January 1996 and April 1998 in the Swedish multi-centre inception cohort TIRA (early interventions in rheumatoid arthritis). Health status, function and costs were investigated. Pred
