While the subject is primarily of interest to the postal sector, it is important in other regulated industries because it examines some of the consequences of errors in cost estimation on economic efficiency, on the regulated firm and on consumers. Although this problem has received little or no...
Cost-effectiveness analysis (including evaluation of the joint distribution of costs and benefits) is almost always required to avoid biased estimation of uncertainty. The remit of CMA in trial-based economic evaluation is therefore even narrower than previously thought, suggesting that CMA is not ...
For the model estimation, the Box-Jenkins estimation method was used [17], where the autocorrelation and partial correlation of the data were first analyzed to estimate a number of models, a comparative analysis of the estimated model coefficients was conducted, and, lastly, the conformity of the...

So, the aim of the current study is to demonstrate a cost estimation and analysis of three different types of biological wastewater treatment systems, which are conventional activated sludge (CAS), conventional activated sludge with pre-denitrification (CAS-N) and membrane bioreactor (MBR) for ...
Estimation of cost of equity is required for many financial applications such as capital budgeting and performance evaluation using EVA. A common procedure is to use the Capital Asset Pricing Model [CAPM] which involves estimation of an expected risk premium equal to beta times the expected risk ...
