We present a framework for accounting of the German statutory pension scheme and estimate a balance sheet for the years 2005 until 2012. Extending and applying the methodology proposed by Settergren and Mikula (2005), we estimate the cross-sectional internal rates of return of the German pension...

Resource-constrained project scheduling under a net present value objective attracts growing interest. Because this is an NP-hard problem, it is unlikely that optimum solutions can be computed for large instances. Thus, heuristics have become a popular research field. Up to now, however, tight...

A flow line consists of a sequence of work places (or stations) through which one or more producta (or models) move one-way in order to be processed. Each model requires specific Operations which must be performed in a predefined Order. To be able to do so, the stations must be equipped with...

What do the education premiums look like over the life cycle? What is the impact of schooling on lifetime earnings? How does the internal rate of return compare with opportunity cost of funds? To what extent do progressive taxes attenuate the incentives to invest in education? This paper...

The purpose of this paper is to study a Monte Carlo simulation of the discounted payback, and its application to investment appraisal. The underlying project in the case study has a useful life of 10 years with an initial outlay of $2,000, and with stochastic, independent, and normally...

Fisher’s rate means the interest rate where the net present values of two mutually exclusive projects become equal. The paper examines the background and the circumstances of conformation of Fisher’s rate in connection with the aggregate capital needs. Aggregate capital needs is a new...

The evaluation of economic efficiency for the innovation project can be performed by determination of monetary flows. For this purpose can be used the indicator of Net Present Value (NPV) of innovation project monetary flows. The NPV indicator allows evaluating the project efficiency adequately...

The evaluation of the efficiency of investments relies on a system of measures based on actuarial techniques that consider the time value of money. One of the common measures used is the Internal Rate of Return (IRR). Commonly, by applying of the efficiency evaluation criteria, result consistent...
