Summary; INDEX"This important book fills the need for a textbook on economic systems analysis and assessment, providing extensive coverage on various topics including microeconomic systems and assessment, cost effectiveness, cost estimation for software and systems, strategic investments, and valuation methods. It serves as an effective textbook for senior undergraduate and first-year graduate courses in economic systems analysis and assessment, as well as a valuable reference for engineers and managers involved in information technology intensive systems."--Provided by publisher."This book provides the fundamentals of economic systems analysis and assessment for engineers and managers concerned with systems engineering and management of systems. No prior background in mathematical programming or economics is assumed, although some exposure to undergraduate micro-economics is recommended. This pertinant discussion of engineering economic systems will be relevant for those who use the subject matter in their professional practice"--Provided by publisher.Wiley series in systems engineering and management ;54.MicroeconomicsSystem analysisElectronic books.Microeconomics.System analysis.338.501658.15TEC008000bisacshSage Andrew P13784Rouse William B491146MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910141009803321Economic systems analysis and assessment2134455UNINA04135nam 2200529 450 991082985220332120230126223040.01-119-25695-X1-119-25694-11-119-25742-5(CKB)4330000000009725(Safari)9781119256908(OCoLC)1031279435(MiAaPQ)EBC5123346(CaSebORM)9781119256908(EXLCZ)99433000000000972520171205h20182018 uy 0engurunu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAnalyzing multidimensional well-being a quantitative approach /Satya R. Chakravarty1st editionHoboken, New Jersey :Wiley,2018.©20181 online resource (1 volume) illustrations1-119-25690-9 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.“An indispensable reference for all researchers interested in the measurement of social welfare. . .” —François Bourguignon, Emeritus Professor at Paris School of Economics, Former Chief Economist of the World Bank. “. . .a detailed, insightful, and pedagogical presentation of the theoretical grounds of multidimensional well-being, inequality, and poverty measurement. Any student, researcher, and practitioner interested in the multidimensional approach should begin their journey into such a fascinating theme with this wonderful book.” —François Maniquet, Professor, Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium. A Review of the Multidimensional Approaches to the Measurement of Welfare, Inequality, and Poverty Analyzing Multidimensional Well-Being: A Quantitative Approach offers a comprehensive approach to the measurement of well-being that includes characteristics such as income, health, literacy, and housing. The author presents a systematic comparison of the alternative approaches to the measurement of multidimensional welfare, inequality, poverty, and vulnerability. The text contains real-life applications of some multidimensional aggregations (most of which have been designed by international organizations such as the United Nations Development Program and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) that help to judge the performance of a country in the various dimensions of well-being. The text offers an evaluation of how well a society is doing with respect to achievements of all the individuals in the dimensions considered and clearly investigates how achievements in the dimensions can be evaluated from different perspectives. The author includes a detailed scrutiny of alternative techniques for setting weights to individual dimensional metrics and offers an extensive analysis into both the descriptive and welfare theoretical approaches to the concerned multi-attribute measurement and related issues. This important resource: • Contains a synthesis of multidimensional welfare, inequality, poverty, and vulnerability analysis • Examines aggregations of achievement levels in the concerned dimensions of well-being from various standpoints • Shows how to measure poverty using panel data instead of restricting attention to a single period and when we have imprecise information on dimensional achievements • Argues that multidimensional analysis is intrinsically different from marginal distributions-based analysis Written for students...Social indicatorsEconomic indicatorsQuality of lifeStatistical methodsWell-beingStatistical methodsSocial indicators.Economic indicators.Quality of lifeStatistical methods.Well-beingStatistical methods.306Chakravarty Satya R.239019MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910829852203321Analyzing multidimensional well-being4033026UNINA
