This paper presents the results of some digital computer simulation tests of a procedure for the economic planning of lot sizes, work force, and inventories. A dynamic, deterministic, linear programming model was used to obtain approximate solutions to the actual problem which is both dynamic...

We address the issue of economic efficiency as it relates to climate change. We begin with a classical cost-benefit perspective. Mat is, we focus on emission trajectories which maximize net benefits. We then examine the consequences of adopting alternative decision making paradigms-for example,...

In recent years a growing concern that the increasing accumulation of greenhouse gases will lead to undesirable changes in global climate has resulted in a number of proposals, both in the United States and internationally, to set physical targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. But what...
