OBS

Chow, Fiona, 2002, "Hidden aspects of urban planning, surface and underground development", Prepared as part of the European COST C7 Initiative with input from the RTPI, Thomas Telford Ltd.

OBS

In the special field of underground works and alongside traditional projects such as tunnels, underground power stations and various pilot tunnels, CFE has been involved in the development of underground town planning. For instance, it is enviably placed as one of the most highly skilled metro builders.

Domaine(s)
  • Aménagement souterrain (Urbanisme)
CONT

Dans le plan horizontal l'urbanisme souterrain diffère peu, quant à ses principes, de la surface. Il n'en est pas de même pour la répartition des diverses fonctions dans le plan vertical. L'urbaniste de la surface a rarement l'occasion de superposer les diverses fonctions urbaines et de les répartir verticalement en zones : c'est ce que devra faire l'urbaniste souterrain, d'où apparition pour la première fois du «zoning vertical» ou du «zoning de coupe».

Subject field(s)
  • Econometrics
CONT

Although it is not necessary for the coefficients of equations such as(1) to(5) to be econometrically stable to show that profits can be made, it is interesting to note that with one-month data and division at the middle of the sample period, a Chow test does not reject the equality of coefficients in the two sample halves for equation(1)...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Économétrie
CONT

Même s'il n'est pas nécessaire que les coefficients des équations (1) à (5) soient stables sur le plan économétrique pour démontrer qu'il est possible de faire un profit, il est intéressant de noter que, si l'on divise la période en deux parties égales, le test de Chow ne conduit pas, pour l'échéance d'un mois, au rejet de l'hypothèse de l'égalité des coefficients dans les deux moitiés de l'échantillon pour l'équation (1); [...]
