Over the past fifty years, various studies have attempted to document the alleged loss of literacy and numeracy skills afflicting dropouts from primary schools in Least Developed Countries (LDCs). These...
The paper considers the problem of determining the parameters in equality-constrained neoclassical economic models in which the decision variables are also constrained to be non-negative. Such problems...
This paper considers the problem of determining the parameters in equality-constrained neoclassical models frequently encountered in economic analysis. These include the utility-maximizing household, subject...
The paper considers the problem of formulating and calibrating a general neoclassical prototype model for the supply of tree crops. Previous approaches to the problem are reviewed and various agronomic...
The paper addresses the problem of calibration of the parameters in a macroeconomic model in the situation, which is typical of LDCs, where the time series data are incomplete. A three-stage systems approach...
The paper proposes a new approach to econometric modeling and parameter estimation which permits the construction of macro-econometric models from general microeconomic-foundations. It provides, inter-alia...
The paper develops general econometric methods for the treatment of modelling decision-making under conditions of uncertainty and risk. The problem of modelling fertilizer use and crop response in the...
The paper proposes a new approach to econometric modeling and parameter estimation which permits the construction of Macro econometric models from general Microeconomic foundations. It provides, inter...
Educational systems characterized by high dropout rates are said to incur 'educational wastage,' implying that resources expended on students who drop out are entirely wasted if the student lapses into...
