    In modern economic literature, the most common measure of a taxpayer's loss from a distortionary tax, such as a tax on bicycles, is the equivalent variation, the maximum amount that a taxpayer would be willing to forgo in a lump sum to avoid the tax. The deadweight loss can then be interpreted as the difference between the equivalent variation ...

    A common position in economics is that the costs in a cost-benefit analysis for any tax-funded project should be increased according to the marginal cost of funds, because that is close to the deadweight loss that will be experienced if the project is added to the budget, or to the deadweight loss removed if the project is removed from the budget.

    Let's say the utility function is the Cobb-Douglas function (,) =, which has the Marshallian demand functions [2] (,) = (,) =,where is the consumer's income. The indirect utility function (,,) is found by replacing the quantities in the utility function with the demand functions thus:

  7. Dynamic lot-size model - Wikipedia

    The dynamic lot-size model in inventory theory, is a generalization of the economic order quantity model that takes into account that demand for the product varies over time. The model was introduced by Harvey M. Wagner and Thomson M. Whitin in 1958.

  8. Hodrick–Prescott filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodrick–Prescott_filter

    Noise in data is approximately normally distributed. Analysis is purely historical and static (closed domain). The filter causes misleading predictions when used dynamically since the algorithm changes (during iteration for minimization) the past state (unlike a moving average ) of the time series to adjust for the current state regardless of ...
