Contribuições para o controle preditivo com compensação de atraso robusta
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia de Automação e Sistemas, Florianópolis, 2011Algoritmos de controle preditivo baseado em modelo se destacam pela capacidade de lidar com aspectos relevantes, os quais estão presentes em grande parte dos problemas de controle avançado. Entre estes aspectos pode-se ressaltar a capacidade de tratar restrições nas variáveis envolvidas e a possibilidade de lidar, de forma natural, com sistemas não lineares, sistemas multivariáveis e processos com atraso. Particularmente com relação ao efeito do atraso, este é tratado implicitamente devido à utilização de predições e à obtenção do sinal de controle que otimiza um critério baseado nestas predições. Desta forma, a compensação do atraso é realizada no contexto do problema de otimização. No entanto, o atraso pode dificultar a obtenção de elementos que garantem estabilidade e/ou robustez. Além disso, sabe-se que estratégias tradicionais como o GPC (do inglês Generalized Predictive Control) e o DMC (do inglês Dynamic Matrix Control) apresentam problemas de robustez que estão relacionados ao tamanho do atraso. Neste trabalho será considerado o problema da compensação de atraso robusta para controladores preditivos. O principal objetivo é discutir a maneira pela qual o atraso afeta a robustez no contexto de controladores preditivos para sistemas lineares com atraso e restrições. Desta maneira, é possível garantir estabilidade e satisfação robusta de restrições para um sistema com atraso, utilizando estratégias de controle preditivo baseadas em modelos sem atraso
Education and Intergenerational Mobility: Evidence from a Natural Experiment in Purerto Rico
No full textThe existence of intergenerational spillovers to public investments in schooling is often assumed in policy discussions regarding economic development. However, few studies to date have forwarded convincing evidence that externalities exist for developing countries. In this paper, we address this issue using the arguably exogenous schooling consequences of a major hurricane strike on Puerto Rico in the 1950s. Using data from the US. Census of Population for Puerto Rico, we first find that individuals on to margin of school entry at the time of the storm and residing in the most exposed regions of the island had significantly lower levels of education as adults than their counterparts in less exposed regions. Using the interaction of wind speed and age at the time of the storm as an instrument, we then find that maternal education is related to the probability that a child speaks English. Our estimates imply an additional year of education raise the probability that a child speaks English by between 4.3 and 4.5 percentage points, c approximately 24 to 28 percent. We find no conclusive evidence that parental education increases the probability that a child is enrolled, literate, or in an age-appropriate grad, On balance, these findings suggest that education is responsible at least in part for the persistence of human capital across generations.education, intergenerational mobility, natural experiment, hurricane
The Dynamic Effects of Information on Political Corruption: Theory and Evidence from Puerto Rico
No full textDoes the disclosure of information about corrupt activities induce a sustained reduction in corruption? We use publicly released routine audits of municipal governments in Puerto Rico to answer this question. We first develop a political agency model where voters re-elect incumbents based on their performance while in office. We show that, because voters cannot directly observe incumbents’ actions, an incumbent whose reputation improved in the previous term is likely to engage in more rent-seeking activities in a future term. Guided by this model, we use longitudinal data on audit results to examine the long-term consequences of providing information to voters on levels of political corruption. We find that municipal corruption levels in subsequent audits are on average the same in municipalities audited preceding the previous election and those not audited then. In spite of this, mayors in municipalities audited preceding the previous election have higher re-election rates, suggesting that audits enable voters to select more competent politicians. We conclude that short-term information dissemination policies do not necessarily align politicians’ long-term actions with voter preferences as politicians exploit their reputational gains by extracting more rents from office.corruption; information; political agency; dynamic incentives
