A Theory of Power Structure and Institutional Compatibility: China vs. Europe Revisited
TL;DR: Li et al. as mentioned in this paper used a game-theoretical model to analyze how the power structure can shape the stability of an autocratic rule and showed that a more symmetric Elite-People relationship can stabilize autocratic rules.
Theoretical implications of institutional, environmental, and technological changes for capacity choices of water projects
Yang Xie,David Zilberman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for determining the optimal capacities of water projects, including, but not limited to, diversion dams, flood control dams, water transfer projects, and rainwater harvesting systems, is presented.

The Economics of Water Project Capacities and Conservation Technologies
Yang Xie,David Zilberman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for determining the optimal capacities of diversion dams or water transfer projects is proposed, and the model incorporates stochastic inflows to the dams and the role of the dam capacity in reducing overflows and gives a closed-form expression of the marginal benefit of capacities.
