We model the optimal control of inequality for an economy experiencing growth in the mean and variance of the income distribution under conditions of uncertainty. Given quadratic losses in the level of inequality and the strength of the policy instrument, we derive a closed form solution for the...

The thermodynamic data of the system SnO2/SnO/Sn in the absence and presence of CH4 and C are calculated as a function of temperature. The direct dissociation of SnOx without any reducing substances needs temperatures T2000 K at 1 bar. In the presence of CH4 or C, SnOx can be reduced at T1250 K....
