Abstract:
This work analyzes the saving and consumption behavior of agents faced with the possibility of unemployment in a dynamic and stochastic life cycle model. The intertemporal optimization is based on Dynamic Programming with a backward recursion algorithm. The implemented uncertainty is not based on income shocks as it is done in traditional life cycle models but uses Markov probabilities where the probability for the next employment status of the agent depends on the current status. The utility function used is a CRRA function (constant relative risk aversion), combined with a CES function

Life cycle costing methods can be applied to the procurement of some, but not all, spare parts. As a result, a decision model is needed to determine which spare parts should be considered for life cycle costing.

The thesis briefly reviews the application of the life cycle costing concept to the acquisition of major systems and associated spare parts.

As a result, it is likely to cause damaging bridges and have safety doubts. Therefore, how to evaluate the health of existing bridges and enhance the life-span is an urgent issue. The inspections in Taiwan are mostly tangible(visible), while the potential risk(invisible) of earthquake and flood resistant capacity is not been described much.
