Abstract:
Abstract What is the best way to reward innovation? While prizes avoid deadweight loss, intellectual property (IP) selects high social surplus projects. Optimal innovation policy thus trades off the ex ante screening benefit and the ex post distortion. It solves a multidimensional screening problem in the private information held by the innovator: research cost, quality, and market size of the innovation. The appropriate degree of market power is never full monopoly pricing and is determined by measurable market characteristics, the inequality and elasticity of innovation supply, making the analysis open to empirical calibration. The framework has applications beyond IP policy to the optimal pricing of platforms or the optimal procurement of public infrastructure.

Abstract:
Willingness to share knowledge is subjective to an individual. It relies on an individual’s decision to share or not with others. One of the factors that influence individual willingness to share knowledge is authority ranking. There are four types of social power comprising legitimate, coercive, referent and expertise power. Among of these four types of social power, this study aimed to investigate the significant relationship of social power and willingness to share knowledge. A survey was conducted among 150 knowledge workers in ICT industries which are mainly located in Cyberjaya, Malaysia. Partial Least Square analysis was conducted to analyze measurement and structural model. The results of the study indicate that none of the social power dimensions influence willingness to share knowledge as in the Malaysia context.

Abstract:
Concert of Powers has emerged as an attractive modality in global governance. As an emerging power, China must seriously take this template into account. This article seeks to analyze the incentives, possibilities, and uncertainties for China to participate in Concert with reference to China's history memory on Concert, China's intellectual endeavors, as well as China's evolving foreign preferences. It concludes that China is generally qualified and capable of being a key participant in Concert of Powers with increasing willingness. Yet, China's involvement depends on 1) if Concert template can overcome its own deficiencies; 2) if Concert have competitive advantages compared with other governance alternatives for China; and 3) if China can keep its momentum on both willingness and capacity in power transition.

China has become one of the largest food markets in the world. Alone with its rising market power, we conceptually review relevant literature to discuss important issues on Chinese consumers’ willingness to pay for organic foods. Important factors that might determine consumer willingness to pay were discussed (i.e. culture, demography, attitudinal factors, health consciousness, individual norms, consumer knowledge, food safety, environmental concern, animal welfare, purchasing power, nutritional value). We then put forward a prospect of the future research on consumers’ willingness to pay for organic foods in China and other developing countries. Practical and policy implications are also elaborated.

Abstract:
Objective: To compare two methods of measuring willingness to pay (WTP): closed-ended questions with and without follow-up.Methods: A measurement experiment based on dichotomous choice contingent valuation survey data is reported. Marginal WTP estimates for alleviation of rheumatoid arthritis symptoms resulting from treatment with a novel anti-rheumatic agent, cA2 (TNF-α blockade), were calculated. Monte Carlo simulations were undertaken to evaluate the methods with respect to their statistical power.Results: The estimated marginal WTP values using closed-ended questions with and without follow-up were DKK 637 (US $91) and DKK 1,268 (US $181), respectively. A Wilcoxon's signed-rank test showed that the difference of DKK 631 was significant. Moreover, including a follow-up question increases the precision of the result. Monte Carlo simulations showed that trade-offs between power (i.e., the probability of a correct rejection of a false null hypothesis), efficiency, and size may exist in the two models.Conclusions: There was a significant difference between the WTP estimates when using closed-ended questions with and without follow-up. When choosing between the models, however, power, efficiency, and size could be used as selection criteria.

Full text
Abstract:
In this research we investigated how group power influences the way members of groups in asymmetrical conflict approach intergroup negotiations. Drawing on theories of negotiations and of intergroup power, we predicted that group power would interact with features of the proposed negotiating agenda to influence willingness to 'come to the table'. Based on the negotiation literature, we focused on two types of 'sequential' negotiation agendas: one beginning with the discussion of consequential issues before less consequential issues ('consequential first'), and one leaving the discussion of consequential issues until after less consequential issues are discussed ('consequential later'). Because they are motivated to advance changes to their disadvantaged status quo, we expected low power group members to favor 'consequential first' over 'consequential later' invitations to negotiate. High power group members, motivated to protect their advantage, were expected to show the reverse preference. Converging evidence from four experiments involving real-world and experimental groups supported these predictions. Across studies participants received an invitation to negotiate from the other group involving either a 'consequential first' or 'consequential later' agenda. Low power group members preferred 'consequential first' invitations because these implied less stalling of change to the status quo, and high power group members preferred 'consequential later' invitations because these invitations seemed to pose less threat to their position. Theoretical and practical implications for negotiations research and conflict resolution are discussed.

This thesis examines the factors which impact societal willingness to integrate in a post conflict, post power sharing agreement environment. Utilizing the Northern Ireland case, this study analyzes variance in willingness to integrate between Protestant and Catholic groups. Analysis of the Northern Ireland Life and Times survey data illustrates the shifting relationship between political trust and ingroup/outgroup frustrations on levels of willingness to integrate since the Good Friday Agreement. Statistical analyses indicate confirmation of ingroup attachment and elite political trust hypotheses, and reduced impact of outgroup benefit perceptions on willingness to integrate since the Good Friday Agreement.

Zhang, Jiayi. "The power of the situation : variability and stability in Chinese university students' willingness to communicate in English classrooms." Thesis, Durham University, 2018. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/12781/.

Full text
Abstract:
Willingness to communicate (WTC) used to be studied as a relatively stable, trait-like predisposition; however, recent attention has been shifted to more dynamic, state-like components of WTC, i.e. possible fluctuations in state WTC over time. This research investigates variability and stability in both trait and state WTC. It particularly focuses on within-person variability in state WTC, which may lead to stable between-person differences, and situational antecedents that can either promote or hinder state WTC in L2 classrooms. Published research on state WTC was systematically reviewed, and frequently reported situational antecedents of state WTC were organised into a framework composed of three inter-linked layers: situation cues, situation characteristics, and underlying dimensions. Two high-density repeated measurement studies conducted in English classrooms in a Chinese university, investigating whether, how and why state WTC varied during a semester (Study 1) and during a lesson (Study 2), respectively. The two studies found that (a) state WTC varied both within a lesson and across different lessons during a semester; (b) within-person variability in state WTC was systematically related to the situational antecedents proposed in the framework (e.g. support, task-importance, task-interest, etc.); and (c) systematic within-person variability in state WTC predicted English learning performance, particularly in terms of communicative competence. This research provides novel insights into how within-person variability in state-like variables can be studied, and the proposed framework can be used as guidance for future research on state WTC and its situational antecedents. This research also suggests practical strategies for educators and language L2 teachers who would like to facilitate student state WTC by systematically shaping classroom learning situations.

Abstract:
If you ask any person for his opinion about "miljonprogrammet", most would answer that it is the largest architectural failure in modern times. The housing shortage meant that numerous buildings had to be built quickly and the architecture was neglected. Today there is again a significant housing shortage, and the need to build many homes have quickly become a political priority issue. These homes should preferably be as cheap as possible. The risk is great that we in 50 years will view these buildings in a similar way that we look at the "miljonprogrammet" today. If we instead turn to the houses that were built in the 1920s these are still considered to be very beautiful and classic tastefulness. This type of house should be easy to replicate by simply building classic houses with pitched roof, simple details above windows and doors with a one-colored plaster facade. This work has been carried out in order to avoid falling into the same situation again. The aim was to prove that there is an increased willingness to pay for houses built around the 1920s. By proving that this is the case, we hope that the houses being built in the future will return to this classic tastefulness architecture which we believe will provide a more sustainable cityscape. The result has been obtained by several independent t-tests of sales in Södermalm and Östermalm, in central Stockholm, during the past five years. Interviews with architects, brokers and construction companies have also carried out to obtain a broader base and to see how professionals in the industry look at the issue. Literature has been used for further theoretical background. The conclusion has been obtained by compiling samples and interviews. The result was that there is a strong significant difference in the willingness to pay of properties built during the "miljonprogrammet" versus 1920. Where the 1920s houses sold for a much higher price.
Frågar man valfri person efter dennes åsikt angående miljonprogrammet skulle de flesta svara att det är det största arkitektoniska misslyckandet i modern tid. Bostadsbristen medförde att mycket skulle byggas fort och arkitekturen kom i skymundan. Idag råder det återigen stor bostadsbrist och behovet av att bygga många bostäder snabbt har blivit en politisk huvudfråga. Dessa bostäder ska helst också bli så billiga som möjligt. Risken är stor att vi om 50 år kommer se på dessa byggnader som man ser på miljonprogrammet idag. Ser man istället till husen som byggdes under 1920-talet anses dessa fortfarande vara väldigt vackra och klassiskt stilrena. Tjugotalshusen borde vara enkla att återskapa genom att bara bygga klassiska hus med sadeltak, få enkla detaljer över fönster och dörrar samt med en enfärgad putsfasad. Det här arbetet har genomförts för att undvika att hamna i samma situation en gång till. Syftet var att bevisa att det finns en ökad betalningsvilja för hus byggda kring 1920-talet. Genom att bevisa att så är fallet hoppas vi att de hus som byggs i framtiden kommer återgå mot denna klassiskt stilrena arkitektur. Detta tror vi kommer ge en mer långsiktigt hållbar stadsbild. Resultatet har fåtts genom en sticksprovsstudie av överlåtelser på Södermalm och Östermalm, i Stockholms innerstad, under de senaste fem åren. Intervjuer med arkitekter, mäklare och byggbolag har även genomförts för att få en bredare bas och för att se hur yrkesverksamma i branschen ser på frågan. Litteratur har använts för vidare teoretisk bakgrund. Slutsatsen har fåtts genom en sammanställning av stickproven och intervjuerna. Resultatet blev att det finns en stark signifikant skillnad i betalningsvilja mellan fastigheter byggda under miljonprogrammet kontra 1920-talet. Där 1920-talshusen såldes för ett betydligt högre pris.

Based on the theory of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), this study analyzes how the government-sponsored program of solar energy subsidy in recent years has an effect on people’s willingness to install the solar energy facility. This study adopts the investigation of questionnaires, and participants are consumers in the Kaohsiung area. There are totally 300 questionnaires distributed, among which 239 were completely filled and returned, resulting in a response rate of 79.7%. After sampling, we use a series of analytic tools that include descriptive statistical analysis, reliability analysis, validity analysis, factor analysis, and structural equation modeling to test and validate our hypotheses. Following previous researches, this study discusses people’s acceptance toward the solar energy facility in terms of six different factors: “system quality,” “perceived usefulness,” “perceived ease of use,” “using attitude,” “government subsidy,” “consumer’s behavioral intention.” In our findings, a consumer’s behavioral intention is largely guided by his or her “using attitude,” this “using attitude” is then guided by the “perceived usefulness,” and the “perceived usefulness” by the “system quality.” Accordingly, what really matters for people nowadays is the factor of “system quality,” which involves an assurance of the stability of the system, the safety and affordability of the installment, and 20-year quality insurance. In encouraging positive “using attitudes,” our government should promote the value of individual eco-images and work to create an ecological and electricity-saving living environment. A good policy is not necessarily self-explanatory. People are skeptical about the use and safety evaluation of solar energy; or they simply don’t know how to choose a compatible solar power installment for their home. All of these show that the policy of using solar energy is premature and that we are not yet ready for “purchasing” this idea in Taiwan. Although “government’s subsidy” seems ineffective in our study, the solar energy policy as a whole proves prosperous and influential. Suppliers and producers of solar energy should work harder on the improvement of the “system quality,” “ease of use,” and accessibility and affordability of solar energy facilities. An enlargement of people’s knowledge about solar energy can boost purchase rates. More significantly, it allows Taiwan to emerge as a paradigm of the solar-powered island.

Climate change is one of the most important environmental issues at present. The extreme climate caused by climate change and the concern about the possible depletion of fossil energy in the future have prompted lots of countries to devote themselves to the development of low-carbon energy, which can be divided into nuclear energy and renewable energy. The pollution of nuclear energy is controversial. After the Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan, people have suspected about its safety. Besides, Taiwan have abundant natural resources, such as wind and solar energy, so the government intended to promote energy transformation in recent years. Therefore, we used contingent valuation method to estimate consumers'' willingness to pay (WTP) for the renewable energy instead of nuclear power generation, find out the influence factors of Taiwanese people’s WTP, and give some suggestions on policy. Dichotomous question was used in our survey. We used single-bound dichotomous choice (SBDC) and double-bound dichotomous choice (DBDC) to estimate the consumers'' WTP. The outcome shows that the personal per month WTP of Taiwanese people to replace nuclear power with renewable energy ranges from new Taiwan dollar (NTD) 1.41 to NTD 3.80 per month, and the annual total WTP of Taiwanese people is between NTD 0.33 billion and NTD 0.89 billion.

Knowledge has become one of the key factors to sustain the organization’s competitive advantage. To encourage employee in an organization to share their knowledge, past studies have discussed reward systems, self-efficacy, and social norm. However, customer power could affect an organization’s decisive adoption. Thus, this study considered social power and integrated social power theory. Additionally, we integrated social exchange theory and social cognitive theory to examine personal motivation and knowledge self-efficacy. After this study collected and analyzed data from 16 countries, the result showed that reputation, reciprocity, and knowledge self-efficacy significantly affected intention to share knowledge. Additionally, customer power also significantly affected reciprocity, which in turn affected intention to share. The research model and hypotheses were supported by the empirical data. Therefore, we concluded that an organization involving customer service and commitment should focus on enhancing employee perception of customer power.

The objective of this research is to survey the consumer’s willingness to pay under an assumed situation that based on the Institute of Nuclear Energy Research’s(INER) report. According to the report, Taiwan will have no nuclear power in 2025 if life extension of nuclear power plant1 to 3 is truth and construct cessation of nuclear power plant4 remains the same. In such situation, natural gas power was used to substitute the volume of nuclear power, but price of electricity would unavoidably rise. The purpose of this research is to survey the price premium of electricity under this situation. This research estimates mainly by contingent valuation method and use the questionnaire to investigate the willingness to pay. PROBIT model and LOGIT model were used to estimate the premium of electricity price. Empirical result shows that student groups would like to pay NTD$158~NTD$160 to substitute nuclear power with natural gas power, the price will rise 19.0%~19.2%. Non-student groups would like to pay NTD$1,450~NTD$1,667, the price will rise 174.7%~200.8%. people would like to pay NTD$436~ NTD$455 to substitute nuclear power with natural gas power. Based on the average price of electricity NTD$830, the price will rise 52.6%~54.9%.

Abstract:
This book examines the relationship between domestic politics and Theodore Roosevelt’s foreign policy. It argues that, in spite of the complicated nature of the US system, with its overlapping powers, intense partisanship, and continuous scrutiny from the media and public, Roosevelt mostly succeeded in implementing his agenda. In the process, it contends, he played a crucial role in the nation’s rise to world power. The book places particular emphasis on four factors: Roosevelt’s compelling vision for national greatness, political skill, faith in the people and the US system, and emphasis on presidential leadership. It finds that public sentiment was not isolationist, as some historians have argued, but was willing to support all of TR’s major objectives. Roosevelt’s feel for the national mood was also crucial, as was his willingness to compromise or change his views when necessary. Topics covered by the book include Roosevelt’s early career in politics; relations with great powers such as Britain, Germany, and Japan; the Monroe Doctrine, the Roosevelt Corollary, and Latin America; the impact of immigration from China and Japan; and World War I.

Abstract:
The end of World War II was followed by yet another redefinition of the Sanusiyya. British officials, intent on securing a friendly ally on Egypt’s western border, presented Idris al-Sanusi and the Sanusiyya as a fiercely independent proto-nationalist organization from its very inception. Italian imperialists, hopeful of a return to some form of influence in Muslim North Africa, depicted Idris al-Sanusi as a pro-Western sycophant, weakened by his willingness to negotiate with imperial powers. The postcolonial debates over Idris al-Sanusi’s claims to authority in a nationalist setting reveal the contradictions at the heart of colonial systems of rule in power-sharing relationships.

Abstract:
China and India will have to radically transform their electric power systems in order to decouple economic growth from unsustainable resource consumption. The development and deployment of renewable energies offers a solution to this challenge. A clean energy transition, however, requires radical changes in the energy system that can only occur if a governing coalition is both willing and able to implement successful RET (renewable energy technology) policies. The authors analyse how this willingness and ability is shaped by the coalition’s power and cohesiveness, societal pressures, and the institutional configuration across levels of governance. In doing so, central drivers are identified and barriers to a clean energy transition in China and India.

Abstract:
The notwithstanding clause in section 33 has always been the Charter’s most controversial provision. Although rarely invoked, a failure to use this power should not be equated with a willingness to abide by judicial norms about the Charter. This chapter analyses the political life of the notwithstanding clause. It examines the origins of the notwithstanding clause, its uses, its influence on constitutional ideals beyond Canada, and the political consequences associated with a deeply entrenched reticence to invoke the notwithstanding clause. This discussion addresses whether current reluctance to use section 33 is better explained by risk aversion than by legislative compliance with the Charter.

The case of rare earths provides an important window into a new set of international challenges. China, a major power on the rise, maintains its dominance over these crucial strategic materials showing its willingness to use its position to further its political and economic goals. Moreover, the case provides insight into the overall inability of China’s international competitors and rivals to effectively remedy this asymmetry, allowing China to maintain its critical advantage in high tech, renewables and defense applications.As elements, rare earths are enablers. As political instruments, they are increasingly turning into a catalyst in a new era of potentially fraught international relations.

This book explains the design and development of international organization in the postwar period. It theorizes that the basic set up of an IO responds to two forces: the functional impetus to tackle problems that spill beyond national borders and a desire for self-rule that can dampen cooperation where transnational community is thin. The book reveals both the causal power of functionalist pressures and the extent to which nationalism constrains the willingness of member states to engage in incomplete contracting. The implications of postfunctionalist theory for an IO’s membership, policy portfolio, contractual specificity, and authoritative competences are tested using annual data for seventy-six IOs for 1950–2010.

Abstract:
‘Terror and terrorism’ discusses strategies in which terror is used to break an opponent’s willingness to fight or to induce a change in a rival power’s policy or behavior. Terror often causes little damage to a foe’s physical capacity to fight, even if it inflicts mass casualties. Targets are usually chosen for their psychological rather than their material effect. Terror and terrorism are military strategies largely because of their coercive power. Terrorism is violence (discriminate or otherwise) directed against noncombatants to influence public opinion or to modify a government’s policies. Whether terrorism constitutes a strategy or a tactic is still a matter of debate.

Abstract:
This chapter argues that John Cage's Muzak-plus ultimately addresses his idealistic belief that art could foster a revolution in society, one that would lead not to a transfer of power but, in an anarchist fashion, to its pulverization in the hands of the individual members of a collective. However, in the aftermath of World War II, any suggestion that art could be at the service of society was met with increased suspicion. Whether directly or indirectly, suggested Cage himself, any willingness to improve the world may only end up making the matter worse. One could read this warning as a summary of Muzak's self-styled ambition.

Abstract:
AbstractThe outcome of Judgment 238/2014 does not directly rely on the fact that the international dispute on state immunity involves two member states of the EU. Also, it is difficult to envisage at the European level any normative development on the international rules on state immunity. It seems, however, that some useful lessons can be learnt from the judicial dialogue between the European Court of Justice, the European Court of Human Rights, and constitutional courts. In very general terms and for many reasons, the relationship between constitutional courts and the International Court of Justice (ICJ) cannot rely on particularly sophisticated techniques of judicial dialogue.This encourages us to consider the importance of involving state-level political organs as one of the counterparts to the dialogue. The potential power of judges to address these political organs in order to find a diplomatic solution raises the thorny question of whether this availability of alternative means of dispute settlement at the international level might impact on (or somehow restrict) the right of access to justice for Italian victims. Since both ICJ and the Italian Constitutional Court (ItCC) seem to agree that negotiation is the alternative dispute settlement par excellence (and the only means available to settle the present dispute at the international level), the ItCC might have given more importance to the availability of alternative means of redress—in the form of negotiations between the two states—in order to wear down the absolute character of the principle of judicial protection enshrined in Article 24 of the Italian Constitution.Of course, a negotiated solution depends upon the willingness of both parties, whereas an Italian political initiative aimed at unilaterally granting reparation to the victims is always possible. Moreover, the latter solution may stop the enforcement of Judgment 238/2014 and reduce Italy’s exposure to international responsibility for non-compliance with the 2012 ICJ Judgment. So long as Italian victims and their heirs are compensated, the restriction on their right to seek justice through the courts might become more tolerable for the Italian tribunals.

Abstract:
This chapter explains the origins of the VEP. Over four years, three very different sides came together to form the VEP: the Department of Justice, civil rights activists, and liberal philanthropists. After John F. Kennedy became President, the Department of Justice under his brother, Robert F. Kennedy, signalled a willingness to help African Americans vote. Civil rights activists worked with philanthropists like Stephen Currier to create a source of funds for widespread registration fieldwork. Working together, all parties sought tax-exemption for the project, and to do so, they kept the VEP idea discreet because they did not want to attract attention from segregationists in government.

Abstract:
Owing to historically-rooted regional imbalances in levels and modes of development; the state in Karnataka has struggled to provide resources for the less-developed, and agrarian northern districts that also play a key role in the competitive politics of the state. Until the 1980s, cheap hydro power accommodated these rising demands, even as dynamic tertiary economies centered on Bengaluru were creating a new political and economic image for the state. Rather than adopting strict economic principles in which cost-of-supply determines tariff and all regions are treated equally, Karnataka’s reforms involved a strategy of bureaucratic negotiation that has enabled wealthier regions to offset some of the costs associated with ongoing public subsidies to the northern regions and farmers. This has led to a relatively stable equilibrium, although arguably one that is dependent on continued willingness of wealthier regions to sustain this arrangement.

Abstract:
Chapter 2 examines how TR handled the politics of European interventions in Latin America from 1901 to 1903, especially a blockade of Venezuela spearheaded by Britain and Germany. It argues that TR’s reading of public opinion was a central factor in the evolution of his thinking about the Monroe Doctrine, in that he initially overestimated the willingness of Americans to tolerate European interventions in Latin America. The chapter documents how fierce criticism of the Venezuela blockade, most of which was directed at Germany and which caused problems for Roosevelt with the nation’s large German-American community—a constituency whose support he would need in the 1904 election—played a crucial role in the formulation of the Roosevelt Corollary.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the selection of the case studies for the book: Iraq and the oil market, Russia and the natural gas market, and China and the rare earth elements market. These cases provide useful plausibility probes for the authors’ theory of market power politics. First, these cases involve competition in key commodity markets in which states could potentially have the opportunity and willingness to pursue a market power opportunity though territorial expansion. Second, since these states have had significant control over their firms in these commodity markets, one can isolate the mechanism by which market power motivations influence foreign policy decisions. Finally, these cases include incidents of both violence and strategic delay, which provides variation on the dependent variable.

Abstract:
‘Cyber power and military strategy’ discusses the role of cyber power in reducing a rival power’s physical capacity and willingness to fight. This issue is important for contemporary military strategists because cyber power—the ability to operate within cyberspace with relative security—is comparatively new and has political advantages in that it rarely causes human casualties. The difference between cyber war and cyber power is explained before discussing cyber power’s indispensability to military strategy. It is difficult to imagine any exercise of military force today that would not also involve an attendant use of cyber power.

Abstract:
This paper presents a model that translates the gas turbine operation history into component load histories that can be used to calculate component based inspection intervals. It can be concluded that it is possible to develop accurate prognostics systems working on a component level. Such systems could predict maintenance requirements in a safe and sufficiently accurate way. There are many situations where theory and reality will not agree completely. By adding structured feedback to the prognostics process, the quality of prognostics, design and maintenance processes should improve. The quality of prognostics increases with the willingness to share data between maintenance provider and operator. It can be concluded that in an environment of information sharing between the involved parties, knowledge based prognostics should provide benefits to both maintenance provider and operator.

Abstract:
Maintaining high levels of availability and reliability are essential objectives for many industries, especially those that are subject to high costs due to non-payment as a result of shutdowns of critical systems, e.g. gas turbines. To utilize these systems as effectively as possible, maintenance must be optimized. Though, determining what is optimal is a tough multi-variable task requiring detailed knowledge about components building the system, such as damage mechanisms, TMF/LCF crack initiation and propagation, creep deformation, creep damage, general material deterioration, erosion, oxidation and corrosion. Also, customer specific inputs are essential, e.g. value of the produced entity, fuel prices, unplanned and planned standstill cost. To efficiently funnel this information into a customer adapted, optimized maintenance plan, a probabilistic optimization model is proposed. The model will dynamically calculate the most efficient point in time for a renewal. Further, the model can, as a function of risk willingness, adjust the maintenance plan to any customer’s specific demands. This paper describes (i) the model, (ii) how information is gathered and processed, (iii) how the risk assessment is performed and (iv) how the lifetime prediction is carried out. The optimization itself can be adjusted to aim at: minimizing cost or risk or maximizing availability, performance or reliability. Also, this paper describes how the quantitative selection of critical components included in the optimization is performed.

Abstract:
We conduct a randomized controlled trial in Mexico City to determine willingness to pay (WTP) for SMS air quality alerts and to study the effects of air quality alerts, reminders, and a reusable N95 mask on air pollution information and avoidance behavior. At baseline, we elicit WTP for the alerts service after revealing whether the household will receive an N95 mask and participant compensation, but before revealing whether they will receive alert or reminder services. While we observe no significant impact of mask provision on WTP, higher compensation increases WTP, suggesting a possible cash-on-hand constraint. The perception of high pollution days prior to the survey is positively correlated with WTP, but the presence of actual high pollution days is not correlated with WTP. Follow-up survey data demonstrate that the alerts treatment increases reporting of receiving air pollution information via SMS, a high pollution day in the past week, and staying indoors on the most recent perceived high pollution day. However, we observe no significant effect on the ability to correctly identify which specific days had high pollution. Similarly, households that received an N95 mask are more likely to report utilizing a mask with filter in the past two weeks, but we observe no effect on using a filter mask on the specific days with high particulate matter. Although we nd that air quality alerts increased the salience of air quality and avoidance behavior, these results illustrate the difficulty that information treatments face in overcoming perceptions to effectively reduce exposure to air pollution.
