Abstract:

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited<br>It is generally accepted that cost growth in federal major defense acquisition programs (MDAPs) is partially attributable to inaccurate cost estimates. Cost analysts exhaustively analyze manpower and resources to provide accurate estimates, however the influence of transaction costs is often ignored in traditional cost estimates. This thesis investigates the association between cost growth and transaction costs, the real cost of business negotiations and program management. We collect MDAP cost threshold breach data and cross reference

Abstract:

<p>The economic analysis of building contracts is an unexplored field within Law and Economics. This paper makes an attempt to cast some light over the subject and encourage to more research within the field. The main purpose has been to describe why the actual price in a public construction project often turns out to be higher than the contract price and offer a way of handle that risk. In the paper a model is set up that shows an optimal contract given expectations on actual price and gaps in contracts. Cost increases for the buyer can mainly be explained by two situations.

The dissertation thesis investigates the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and financial performance (FP) on the sample of 51 Eurozone banks over the period from 2008 to 2014.

Return on assets and the ratio of non-performing loans to total loans represent the measures of financial performance and are used as dependent variables. The results of this model have shown a positive and statistically significant CSR-FP relationship. It

Abstract:

Wind power will be an important component of California's aggressive strategies to meet its greenhouse gas reduction targets by the year 2020. However, the costs of integrating wind power's variable and uncertain output are often ignored. I argue that California must take prudent action to understand, minimize, and allocate wind integration costs. A review of numerous studies suggests that for wind penetration levels below 20%, integration costs should remain modest. However, costs are heavily dependent on market structure, and I suggest numerous ways that California can optimize its market de

Using geotextiles in secondary roads to stabilize weak subgrades has been a well accepted practice over the past thirty years.

In this study, a comprehensive life cycle cost analysis framework was developed and used to quantify the initial and the future cost of 25 representative design alternatives.

Majority of the studies in the scheduling literature is devoted to time based performance measures. In this thesis, we develop a model that considers monetary issues in single machine scheduling environments. We assume all the jobs should be completed by a common due date. An early revenue is earned if the completion time is before or on the due date, and a tardy revenue is gained if the job is completed after the due date. We consider restricted and unrestricted due date versions of the problem. Our objective is the maximization of the net present value of all revenues. We first investigate

Abstract:

This dissertation consists of three separate essays, each dealing with a different aspect of the sunk cost phenomenon. The first essay proposes a multiattribute utility model of the sunk cost phenomenon. We argue that this phenomenon, the tendency toward over-investment in losing courses of action, is the result of tensions between economic and psychological factors such as cognitive dissonance. We formalize this tension by decomposing the investor's total utility into its economic and psychological components, and develop a two-attribute utility model which describes sunk cost behavior.

Portfolio optimization is an important field of research within financial engineering. The aim of the optimization is to fins what is the best strategy for an investor when choosing how to allocate their money between a bank account and a constant number of risky assets. In our problem, the investor must pay transaction costs, meaning that every time he transfers money, he loses a certain percentage of the money transferred. Thus, we have made the assumption of proportional transaction costs. In a frictionless market, Merton has proven that the optimal policy consists of a constant proportion

Abstract:

The aim of the study is to analyze the possibility of how and where wind farms should be integrated on the electrical grid. The challenges mainly concern grid capacity and transmission losses. Economic factors will be regarded as well. To fulfill the aim, the Skellefteälven river in Sweden is selected as study object. A regional grid along the river is thereupon simulated with regards to five existing hydro power plants, four electrical consumption points, and the national grid. Additionally, four wind farms are placed on probable sites around the grid. Considering the large amount of data to

Abstract:

This thesis explores the effects of trade costs on international trade at macro and micro levels. It focuses on traditional and non-traditional sources of trade costs that imped trade flows at various phases of a typical export shipment: behind the borders, at the borders and beyond the borders. It initially examines the connection between trade costs and the composition of developing countries’ exports and then explores the responses of firms to additional costs associated with the security of supply chain imposed on Pakistan’s firms in the wake of events of 9/11. Following this, it investiga

Abstract:

In this study the incorporation of a larger wind powerpark in an electrical system is studied. The study is based ona simplified version of an existing grid in J¨amtland, a provincein Sweden, and aims to analyse how to best integrate the windpower regarding geographical, economical and system stabilityfactors. The base system consists of five hydro power plants,four cities, four possible connections of wind power parks and aconnection to the national grid. The study is based on numericalanalysis in MATLAB using data sets of wind strength, powerconsumption in the cities and generation from hydr
