Intra-household Resource Allocation: An Inferential Approach

Allocating Resources in Humanitarian Medicine
"... Fair resource allocation in humanitarian medicine is gaining in importance and complexity, but remains in-sufficiently explored. It raises specific issues regarding non-ideal fairness, global solidarity, legitimacy in non-governmental institutions and conflicts of interest. All would benefit from fu ..."

Fair resource allocation in humanitarian medicine is gaining in importance and complexity, but remains in-sufficiently explored. It raises specific issues regarding non-ideal fairness, global solidarity, legitimacy in non-governmental institutions and conflicts of interest. All would benefit from
Do conglomerate firms allocate resources inefficiently across industries? Theory and evidence
- JOURNAL OF FINANCE
, 2002
"... We develop a profit-maximizing neoclassical model of optimal firm size and growth across different industries based on differences in industry fundamentals and firm productivity. In the model, a conglomerate discount is consistent with profit maximization. The model predicts how conglomerate firms w ..."

will allocate resources across divisions over the business cycle and how their responses to industry shocks will differ from those of single-segment firms. Using plant level data, we find that growth and investment of conglomerate and single-segment firms is related to fundamental industry factors
Managing Energy and Server Resources in Hosting Centers
- In Proceedings of the 18th ACM Symposium on Operating System Principles (SOSP
, 2001
"... Interact hosting centers serve multiple service sites from a common hardware base. This paper presents the design and implementation of an architecture for resource management in a hosting center op-erating system, with an emphasis on energy as a driving resource management issue for large server cl ..."

by estimating the value of their effects on service performance. A greedy resource allocation algorithm adjusts resource prices to balance supply and demand, allocating resources to their most efficient use. A reconfigurable server switching infrastructure directs request traffic to the servers assigned to each
Resource Containers: A New Facility for Resource Management in Server Systems
- In Operating Systems Design and Implementation
, 1999
"... General-purpose operating systems provide inadequate support for resource management in large-scale servers. Applications lack sufficient control over scheduling and management of machine resources, which makes it difficult to enforce priority policies, and to provide robust and controlled service. ..."

coincide in the process abstraction. This coincidence prevents a process that manages large numbers of network connections, for example, from properly allocating system resources among those connections. We propose and evaluate a new operating system abstraction called a resource container, which separates
A Strategic Model of Social and Economic Networks
- CMSEMS Discussion Paper 1098, Northwestern University, revised
, 1995
"... We study the stability and efficiency of social and economic networks, when selfinterested individuals can form or sever links. First, for two stylized models, we characterize the stable and efficient networks. There does not always exist a stable network that is efficient. Next, we show that this t ..."

that this tension persists generally: to assure that there exists a stable network that is efficient, one is forced to allocate resources to nodes that are not responsible for any of the production. We characterize one such allocation rule: the equal split rule, and another rule that arises naturally from
Economic models for allocating resources in computer systems
- Market Based Control of Distributed Systems. World Scientific
, 1996
"... With the advances in computer and networking technology, thousands of heterogeneous com-puters can be interconnected to provide a large collection of computing and communication resources. These systems are used by agrowing and increasingly heterogeneous set of users. ..."

Explicit Allocation of Best-Effort Packet Delivery Service
, 1998
"... This paper presents the “allocated-capacity” framework for providing different levels of best-effort service in times of network congestion. The “allocatedcapacity” framework—extensions to the Internet protocols and algorithms—can allocate bandwidth to different users in a controlled and predictable ..."

Exokernel: An Operating System Architecture for Application-Level Resource Management
, 1995
"... We describe an operating system architecture that securely multiplexes machine resources while permitting an unprecedented degree of application-specific customization of traditional operating system abstractions. By abstracting physical hardware resources, traditional operating systems have signifi ..."

that includes Aegis, an exokernel, and ExOS, an untrusted application-level operating system. Aegis defines the low-level interface to machine resources. Applications can allocate and use machine resources, efficiently handle events, and participate in resource revocation. Measurements show that most primitive
Lottery Scheduling: Flexible Proportional-Share Resource Management
, 1994
"... This paper presents lottery scheduling, a novel randomized resource allocation mechanism. Lottery scheduling provides efficient, responsive control over the relative execution rates of computations. Such control is beyond the capabilities of conventional schedulers, and is desirable in systems that ..."
