The Typical Competitive Problem Sample Clauses

The Typical Competitive Problem. Consider a representative competitive insurer purchasing medical care from a competitive goods market selling at marginal cost, and providing insurance within the informational structure outlined above. The firm chooses a co-payment and premium that maximizes consumer utility, subject to a break-even constraint, and incentive compatibility for the consumer. The insurer knows the quantity of medical care demanded by consumer h , given the co-payment and income, according to q(W − I , m, h) . In this case of heterogeneous consumers, we adopt the simplifying convention that consumers either purchase one unit of the medical good, or none at all. That is, consumers vary along the extensive margin only. The firm’s optimization problem can be written as: max 1 u(W − I − mq* , q* , h)dh I ,m≤ MC ∫ s.t. I + (m − MC)E(q* ) ≥ 0 and q* = q(W − I , m, h)

  • Workforce Development MPC’s technical training program is having a major impact in the region. Online modules, short courses, webinars, and on site/videoconferencing events are reaching state and local transportation department employees and tribal transportation planners. By harnessing the capabilities of the four LTAP centers located at the MPC universities and the multimedia capabilities of the Transportation Learning Network (which was founded and is partly funded by MPC) more than 76 technical training events were offered in the second half of 2015. These training modules and short courses are critical to transportation agencies that need to improve or renew the skills of engineering technicians and other frontline workers. Many MPC courses or training events result in the certification of workers. Even when certification is not required, TLN’s online learning management systems allow employees and employers to set learning goals and monitor progress towards these goals. MPC is making another major impact in workforce development. Altogether, 57 graduate students are working on MPC research projects under the tutelage of faculty researchers. These graduate students represent the researchers and technical analysts of tomorrow. Without the MPC program and the stipend funds that it provides, these students may not be specializing in transportation; but, instead would be seeking career opportunities in other fields. The MPC research program allows faculty to mentor graduate students while allowing the students to work on projects for federal and state transportation agencies—thereby, gaining valuable practical experience.
