Engineering colleges pioneer in teaching and research, creating two sub-processes within engineering education.

Unlike the conventional DEA models, where the system is treated as a black box, this work attempts to independently assess the impact of each parallel sub-process so that it is possible to identify specific changes in the respective processes to improve the overall efficiency. In particular, our study analyzed the efficiency of engineering colleges based on the National Institute Ranking Framework (NIRF) data. Further, the comparison of the efficiency scores from teaching and research indicates that, on average, the institutes are more efficient in teaching than researching. The current study helps policymakers set priorities and course corrections for performance improvement programs of engineering colleges in India.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":22033,"journal":{"name":"Socio-economic Planning Sciences","volume":"89 ","pages":"Article 101708"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48541820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meanwhile, the population reacts very sensitively to even minor shortages. The selection of locations of distribution sites and modes for relief items is a critical part of any public sector response. This is especially challenging in urban areas, where a scarcity of empty buildings leads to the need to spontaneously convert (public) buildings or places into points of distribution. However, determining an efficient distribution strategy in terms of using the right mode at the right place is challenging. While large-scale distribution through public buildings offers a high throughput of beneficiaries, off-site distribution from trucks offers the chance to deliver goods in areas where Points of Distribution utilization is expected to be low. Therefore, we develop an approach to select modes and identify locations for the distribution of goods and apply it to a hypothetical case study in Berlin, Germany. Thereby, we identify that a combination of all modes is most effective. In a city like Berlin, the relevance of individual modes seems to depend primarily on the distance beneficiaries are willing to walk rather than on the magnitude of the disaster. Moreover, we show that the presented approach is particularly valuable in situations where a high level of service for beneficiaries is desired. Therefore, the present study yields several interesting managerial insights into a yet largely unexplored problem, contributing to an increase in resilience towards future crises.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":22033,"journal":{"name":"Socio-economic Planning Sciences","volume":"89 ","pages":"Article 101670"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49177697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This will be particularly disastrous if the grid is unprepared for the climate-induced shifts in electricity demand that will result from increased temperatures. Recently, the use of data-driven modeling has emerged as a way to predict these climate-induced changes in electricity demand, however, much of the work has focused on entire sectors or regions. Here, we focus on the impact of climatic variables on hourly household electricity use for air conditioning. Our goal was to determine the best model for predicting the air conditioning use based on climate variables, as well as use that model to extract insights related to the household-level climate-electricity nexus. Using smart meter data from three US cities (Austin, Texas, Ithaca, New York, and San Diego, California), we tested seven different models of varying complexity. Ultimately, Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) was selected as the best model across all three cities (NRMSE ranged between 0.085 and 0.250). Additionally, we found that while the majority of the climate variables were important, relative humidity was the most important variable in each city. Given that air conditioning tends to drive non-base electricity demand in the summer, understanding these nuances in the climate-electricity nexus as it applies to air conditioning is critical for building a resilient grid.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":22033,"journal":{"name":"Socio-economic Planning Sciences","volume":"89 ","pages":"Article 101664"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44943795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Incorporating real conditions and the perspective of decision-makers in the analysis is crucial to enhance the practical value and managerial implications. Although it is known that implementation can be hindered by the lack of practitioner input in the structure of the model, its priorities, and the practicality of solution times, the way these aspects have been introduced in humanitarian optimization models has not been investigated. This study looks at the way research has involved practitioners in different aspects of the design of optimization models to promote implementation. It investigates the aspects affecting the implementation of the models and opportunities to guide future optimization contributions. The article introduces a systematic literature review of 105 articles to answer the research questions. The results are contrasted with a multi-criteria decision analysis using responses from Mexican practitioners. The study found that only 10% of the articles involved practitioners for modelling decisions, which was confirmed by a major gap between the objectives used in the literature and the priorities of Mexican practitioners. In terms of swift decision-making, fewer than 22% of the articles surveyed introduced new solution methods to deliver results in a sensible time. The study also identified very limited inclusion of environmental concerns in the objective functions even though these are a priority in the global agenda. These findings are discussed to propose research directions and suggest best practices for future contributions to promote the implementation of humanitarian logistics models.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":22033,"journal":{"name":"Socio-economic Planning Sciences","volume":"89 ","pages":"Article 101669"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46927830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These indices proxy the (scale of) negative <em>Mafia</em>-type values that permeate a local society and that are likely to hinder educational achievements, distorting the incentives of both the youngsters (and/or their parents) to invest in human capital and the local firms to employ those who decide to make this investment. Furthermore, combining contemporary individual-level educational outcomes with historical data on <em>Mafia</em> infiltration, we control for endogeneity concerns through an IV strategy. We provide evidence that the presence of organised crime at local level significantly decreases the scores achieved by primary school students, undertaking the INVALSI test for literacy in Southern Italy.

In general, the hypercube model is extended by relaxing one or more of its limiting assumptions. We present different extended hypercube models of the literature, also motivated by our own experience with practical applications, pointing out the basic characteristics of these models. These extensions incorporate unique dispatching policies such as multiple dispatch hypercube models with identical and differentiated servers, dispatching policies using server reservation (cut-off model) to increase the availability of servers to high priority calls, hypercube models considering distinct priority policies to queued users, and hypercube models considering cross-trained servers that can provide two different kinds of emergency services (e.g., medical and fire control).
