A dynamic general equilibrium model for tax policy analysis in Colombia

The paper documents a dynamic general equilibrium model for Colombia based on national accounts from 1999. The paper is part of a project intended to develop a capacity for the the design, specification, and application of computable models within the Colombian Ministry of Finance and Department of National Planning. Our analytical framework includes both forwardlooking expectations and Harris-Todaro labor markets. In the present paper we compare numerical results from the dynamic model with simpler static and steady-state formulations to highlight the importance of transitional effects in evaluating tax policy reform. Our applications include measurement of the marginal cost of funds from different tax bases and the evaluation of discrete changes in tariff structure. The structure of the labor and intermediate credit markets have important implications for the ranking alternative tax reform proposals

Cathodic delamination of modelled sea cable connector assemblies

Cathodic delamination failure is believed to be caused by the production of OH- at the polymer/metal interface via oxygen reduction reactions. In cable connector assemblies, the use of manufacturing processes and materials that are resistant to cathodic delamination failures is highly desirable. Also, there is a need for an accelerated testing regime for assessing the resistance of polymer-to-metal composites to cathodic delamination failures. Cable connector assemblies are employed in marine environments for structural terminations and circuit interconnection of electrical power and signal cabling systems. They are found on offshore sea beds, ROV’s, vessels and submarines and are prone to cathodic delamination related failures particularly when the cable assemblies are coupled to dissimilar metal appurtenances in seawater, e.g., zinc anodes. The resistance to cathodic delamination failures of selected metal substrates and polymeric materials used in the manufacture and sealing of cable connector assemblies have been investigated. Materials and methods of surface preparation by grit blasting to enhance polymer-to-metal adhesion, thus increasing the service life-time expectation of cable connector assemblies have been elucidated. Methods of accelerated testing of polymer/metal bond durability using salt spray test and the validation of the results in seawater immersion tests and potentiostatic experiments have been described. Also, a novel accelerated test chamber for cathodic delamination tests was designed and manufactured. Applied potential was observed to be the factor that had the most negative effect on test samples while silicon carbide grit was found to produce the most effective surface cleanliness and roughness combination required for durable polymer-to-metal bonds.EThOS - Electronic Theses Online ServiceGBUnited Kingdo
