Study Results

The development of adequate modeling at the basin level to establish public policies has an important role in managing water resources. Hydro-economic models can measure the economic effects of structural and non-structural measures, land and water management, ecosystem services and development needs. Motivated by the need of improving water allocation using economic criteria, in this study, a Spatial Decision Support System (SDSS) with a hydro-economic optimization model (HEAL system) was developed and used for the identification and analysis of an optimal economic allocation of water resources in a case study: the sub-middle basin of the São Francisco River in Brazil. The developed SDSS (HEAL system) made the economically optimum allocation available to analyze water allocation conflicts and trade-offs. With the aim of providing a tool for integrated economic-hydrological modeling, not only for researchers but also for decision-makers and stakeholders, the HEAL system can support decision-making on the design of regulatory and economic management instruments in practice. The case study results showed, for example, that the marginal benefit function obtained for inter-basin water transfer, can contribute for supporting the design of water pricing and water transfer decisions, during periods of water scarcity, for the well-being in both basins.

Two Parameters

<p>Mosque Welfare Agency (BKM) Semarang and Pekalongan Muslim Foundation (YKMP) is a nāẓir of productive waqf land. Management of waqf performed by BKM Semarang has not given the expected results, while the management of waqf by YMKP has given results as planned. The main question in this research is what are the factors of success and failures of both institutions in managing of productive land waqf? The answers are measured using two parameters: 1) The investment strategy by BKM Semarang and YMKP; 2) The organization's management of nāẓir of YMKP and BKM? This is a qualitative research with case study approach. Data is collected using observation, interview, and documentation. The methode of analysis is the comparative descriptive. The findings of this research are: 1) Investment of land waqf performed by BKM Semarang unproductive, while investment and distribution of land waqf performed by YMKP productive. 2) The organization's management of BKM in each function is not effective. While the organization's management of YMKP is effective.</p><p><strong><br /></strong></p><p><strong></strong>Badan Kesejahteraan Masjid (BKM) Kota Semarang dan Yayasan Muslimin Kota Pekalongan (YKMP) adalah nazhir badan hukum yang mengelola tanah wakaf secara produktif.

Abstract Effectively managing unpredictability requires decision support tools that can predict the financial and business outcomes of various supply chain strategies. This paper will discuss the role of these decision support tools and their characteristics as well as review a case study. In the case study, decision support tools facilitated development of strategies that increased after tax profit by $140 Million. These strategies included: • Reliability improvement strategy: Identifying the reliability improvements that offered the biggest profitability impact. • Supply chain strategy: Defining inventory management and production scheduling rules that ensured order shipment within two days. • Capital investment strategy: Defining when new capacity should come on line as well as the minimum capital investment.

Investment Level

This chapter explores the major criticisms levelled at the private equity sector. It clarifies some misrepresentations and myths in the light of experience over the evolution of the market and the weight of systematic evidence summarized in this book. It is important to distinguish between analysis at the fund level and at the level of the underlying individual investments. The majority of studies in the finance literature are at the fund level and discuss private equity as an investment strategy. Analysis at the investment level is often done by case study, which always risks creating general conclusions from specific examples. The chapter then looks at areas which are under-researched. These areas include performance and returns; deal structures; the private equity process; new and secondary markets; and the political environment.

To explore the distribution of gross agricultural production (GPA) is significant to the sustainable development of tropical agricultural growth. Taking Hainan Island as the study area, the spatial distribution and influence factors of GPA were elucidated by applying the GIS spatial analysis tools and factor analysis. The results showed that the distribution of Hainan GAP was uneven. The uneven distribution of GAP in counties was mainly caused by the variation of agricultural structure. The GPA was mainly determined by SAV, NEPA, and SAG. The distribution characters of Factor 1 was similar with the distribution of GAP in study area, and some agricultural planning can be made to improve the GAP of middle Hainan area, ie, increasing the sown area of vegetables and labor force input.

Macroeconometric Modeling

The ArgumentThe Netherlands has been a pioneering country in the development of macroeconometric modeling and its use in economic policy. The paper shows that the model was used to overcome the fragmented culture of Dutch pillarization. It proves that the specific use (and institutionalization) of modeling in the policy process is at least partly shaped by a nation's (historical) social structure. The case study relates to the outcome of a controversy within the social democratic pillar in the Netherlands in the period 1930–50 as to how to plan the economic system in the context of the social developments leading up to the crisis, World War II, and the postwar recovery.

Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance

ABSTRACTIn recent years, Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance (CPPI) has been the most widely recognised form of portfolio insurance among market practitioners, despite a lack of theoretical framework to support it. This paper presents a revised formulation of Option Based Portfolio Insurance (OBPI) and shows, through a case study, how it can be used as a structured product and applied in practice as a dynamic investment strategy for insurance and pensions funds such as with-profits funds. CPPI and the Revised Option Based Portfolio Insurance (ROBPI) technique adopted in this paper are similar in the sense that they rely on dynamic allocation between risky and risk-free assets to provide downside protection. Comparison between the two methods shows that ROPBI is more efficient and forward looking, giving more information about downside risk and producing less volatile asset allocation, which reduces transaction costs and any market impact.
