| | Social Cost of Alternative Land Dvelopment Scenarios (SCALDS) |
| | The model was developed under contract with Parsons Brinckerhoff, Quade and Douglas Inc. (PB), building on three areas of research - least cost planning which has been used by utilities for a number of years, full cost of travel studies, and cost of service/cost of sprawl research. | | | The full cost accounting framework uses average cost data, derived from a variety of national studies, as the default values for the calculation of costs. | | | A "full cost of development" model provides one approach for comparing the cost of different land use scenarios. |

| | Microbicides HIV/AIDS-Related Research at NIH |
| | Acceptability studies should be performed in parallel with the development of microbicidal products, and issues related to acceptability should be addressed for both users and their partners. | | | Although microbicide products will not be used solely by women, results from acceptability studies conducted in developed and developing countries have clearly showed that women feel an urgent need for prevention technologies that they can control and that they would be very interested in using a microbicide. | | | To facilitate some of these important microbicide-related activities, the plan suggests the establishment of a standing, multidisciplinary, multisectoral coordinating group with international representation to identify research gaps and funding issues, develop strategies to accelerate development of promising products, and highlight existing promising agents and products. |

| | Third World Economic Development, by Clive Crook: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty |
| | Numerous studies have shown that the economic returns to spending on primary education, especially for girls, are extremely high. | | | The essential elements of a development strategy based on orthodox economics are macroeconomic stability, foreign trade, and strictly limited intervention in the economy. | | | A common argument is that many developing countries will be condemned to economic stagnation, regardless of the economic policies their governments pursue, by two factors beyond their control: their insupportable debts and their lack of home-grown entrepreneurs. |
