stochastic forecast of the Financial Sustainability of basic pension in china
Sustainability, 2016Co-Authors: Yuehong Tian, Xianglian ZhaoAbstract:The paper focuses on the stochastic forecast of the Financial Sustainability ofbasic pension, based on predictions for the population of China. The population was calculated iteratively by using Leslie matrix. An auto-regressive moving average model was adapted for the predictions of the fertility rates and the mortality rates. The Monte Carlo stochastic method was adapted for the projections of the dynamic process of the Financial Sustainability of the basic pension from 2013 to 2087 by 5000 times simulation. The forecasting results show that the imbalance of basic pension will occur in 2026. If the statutory retirement age is postponed by five years, the occurrence of the Financial gap of the basic pension may be delayedby about 20 years, and the median deficit of basic pension will be reduced by about 64.25% in 2087.

assessing factors that influence waste management Financial Sustainability
Waste Management, 2018Co-Authors: Francesca Bartolacci, Antonella Paolini, Anna Grazia Quaranta, Michela SoverchiaAbstract:This article examines the Financial Sustainability of waste management activities to understand whether and how choices oriented toward environmental protection and contextual factors influence waste management companies' revenues and costs, which, in turn, affect their Financial Sustainability and, thus, their ongoing viability. To achieve this purpose, a three-year empirical analysis on 880 Italian municipalities was conducted. Financial Sustainability was evaluated with reference to waste management companies working in these territories, and a set of quantitative and qualitative data was considered to investigate possible influencing factors. The results show that separate waste collection may positively influence companies' Financial performance, while municipalities' territorial extension negatively impacts profitability. Lastly, there is no evidence of a relationship between companies' Financial Sustainability and the potential presence of waste disposal plants or the geographical areas in which they operate. For the analyzed companies, thus, it seems that it would be more convenient to expand business by boosting separate waste collection activities than by enlarging the territories served. These findings can support firms' decisions regarding environmental and Financial issues, both of which are crucial for long-term Sustainability. It can also help policy makers detect appropriate tools to support companies in implementing European Union waste management targets.

strategies for Financial Sustainability of immunization programs a review of the strategies from 50 national immunization program Financial Sustainability plans
Vaccine, 2008Co-Authors: Lidija Kamara, Julie B Milstien, Maria Patyna, Patrick Lydon, Ann Levin, Logan BrenzelAbstract:Financial Sustainability plans (FSPs) were developed by over 50 of the world's poorest countries receiving funding support from the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) to introduce new and underused vaccines, injection safety and immunization service support between 2000 and 2006. These plans were analysed with respect to the strategies selected to promote Financial Sustainability, allowing classification of FSP strategies in three areas: (1) mobilizing additional resources, (2) increasing the reliability of resources, and (3) improving program efficiency. Despite some country successes and the magnitude of planned Financial Sustainability strategies, huge funding gaps remain for these countries due to the initial underlying assumptions of the GAVI and Financial Sustainability plan model.

introducing new vaccines in the poorest countries what did we learn from the gavi experience with Financial Sustainability
Vaccine, 2008Co-Authors: Patrick Lydon, Lidija Kamara, Julie B Milstien, Logan Brenzel, Ruth Levine, Marty Makinen, Violaine Mitchell, S LandryAbstract:This paper reviews the experience of the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) in introducing hepatitis B and Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccines in the poorest countries, and explores how financing for immunization has changed since GAVI Fund resources were made available during its first wave of support between 2000 and 2006. The analysis of Financial Sustainability Plans in 50 countries allowed for some of the original funding assumptions of the GAVI approach to be tested against the realities in a wide set of countries, and to highlight implications for future immunization efforts. While the initial GAVI experience with Financial Sustainability has proved successful through the development of plans, and many countries have been able to both introduce new vaccines and mobilize additional financing for immunization, for future GAVI supported vaccine introduction, some country co-financing of these will be needed upfront for the approach to be more sustainable.
