Multiple objective decision making using goal programming techniques : an interactive microcomputer approach
(1985)
An interactive microcomputer-based system to support multiple objective decision making predicated upon goal programming techniques has been developed. Two major phases constitute this research. In the first phase, performance ...
A PDE formulation and numerical solution for a boll weevil-cotton crop model with soil water and light penetration
(1983)
A mathematical model that describes the population dynamics of a cotton crop and the boll weevil is discussed. A system of partial differential equations forms the model's core. A finite-difference solution procedure is ...
Consumer expenditures and economic inequality : an econometric analysis
(1983)
The present dissertation describes an economic model designed to predict changes in the inequality in consumer expenditures, associated with trends in economic development. Special emphasis is given to expenditures since ...
The impact on consumers and cattle producers of changes in beef processing costs
(1985)
The objective of this study has been to examine the impact of changes in beef processing costs on US beef producers and consumers under market conditions representative of the 1980's. Competitive equilibrium in the beef ...
Individual and market bidding behavior in vickrey first price auctions
(1984)
A series of five first price sealed bid auctions of a single unit were conducted using experimental techniques. The results of the experiments were analyzed to determine the effect on bidding behavior due to the change in ...
A regional forecasting model of the hospital sector
(1985)
Rising costs and less certain revenues have made hospitals and administrators more aware of the need for accurate planning and budgeting. An important input in the expenditure budgeting process is knowledge of the prices ...
Development of a multi-region, multi-crop international trade sector : an armington approach within a macroeconomic context
(1986)
This study (1) conceptualized and estimated U.S. crop export relationships with major agricultural trade partners, (2) obtained estimates of trade-related substitution and price elasticity parameters generated by a multi-crop, ...
Optimal cropping patterns under risk : the Texas Lower Rio Grande Valley
(1985)
The Texas Lower Rio Grande Valley is characterized by a subtropical climate, hence it is a major fruit, vegetable, and field crop producing region. The long growing season also fosters serious production and management ...
A modeling study of the circulation of East Lagoon, Galveston, Texas
(1989)
A three-dimensional time-dependent primitive equation model has been constructed to investigate the processes that control the circulation in East Lagoon, a narrow, shallow lagoon on Galveston Island, Texas. The primarily ...
The impact of the 1977 Food and Agriculture Act on cotton production in the United States : a simulation of policy alternatives
(1980)
This study estimates the probable impacts of seven alternative cotton policy scenarios on the crop production industry in the Cotton Belt region of the United States. A belt-wide, regional linear programming model of crop ...
