The Demand for Military Spending in Egypt

Egypt plays a pivotal role in the security of the Middle East as the doorway to Europe and its military expenditure reflects its involvement in the machinations of such an unstable region, showing considerable variation over the last 40?years. These characteristics make it a particularly interesting case study of the determinants of military spending. This paper specifies and estimates an econometric model of the Egyptian demand for military spending, taking into account important strategic and political factors. Both economic and strategic factors are found to play a role in determining military burden/spending, with clear positive effects of lagged military burden, suggesting some sort of institutional inertia, plus negative output and net exports effects. The strategic effect as a result of the impact of Israel’s military burden is mostly positive and significant, though its impact is reduced when the impact of important strategic events are taken into account. The military spending of Egypt’s allies Jordan and Syria generally seems to have had no effect on Egypt’s spending. These results are consistent over a range of econometric techniques.     

One size does not fit all: personalized incentives in military compensation

A critical element in implementing a compensation scheme including nonmonetary incentives (NMIs) is recognizing that preferences vary widely across Service members. There are at least three sources of variability: across different population classes, across individuals within a population class, and across NMI packages for a particular individual. Surveys across different military communities, ranks, and years of Service show the difficulty of identifying any NMI that has significant value for even 50% of the active duty force. At the same time, approximately 80% of the surveyed Service members expressed a significant positive value for at least one NMI. Therefore, one-size-fits-all incentive packages will not be nearly as effective as more personalized incentive packages. The authors discuss variability in Service member NMI preferences and outline an approach to implementing personalized NMI packages in military compensation through a sealed-bid reverse auction, where Service members select individual NMIs from a “cafeteria-style” menu of options.

基于FLAC^3D的岩土边坡施工效应研究

采用FLAC3D对预应力锚索框架梁支护的岩土边坡施工过程进行数值模拟,围绕施工中坡体位移场与应力场的变化以及下级边坡施工对上部已完成的支挡结构受力影响进行研究.结果表明坡体开挖引起的松弛区呈圆弧状,且位移由临空面向坡体内逐渐减小,坡体弹性模量与其变形呈非线性递减关系;预应力锚索框架梁能有效抑制坡体变形,从坡顶到坡脚锚索轴力依次增大,故工程设计中宜对其分别设计,做到“强腰固脚”;下级边坡与上级边坡的支挡结构相互约束,共同承担滑坡推力,形成一种“联合支挡结构”.
