Text of Note

"An important issue in engineering design is a system's design lifetime. Economists study durability choice problems for consumer goods, but seldom address lifetime problem(s) of complex engineering systems. The issues for engineering systems are complex and multidisciplinary and require an understanding of the "technicalities of durability" and the economic implications of the marginal cost of durability and of value maximization, commonly the design lifetime for infrastructure is set between 30 and 70 years, with limited rationale. Satellite lifetimes are also assigned with limited analysis. This book provides a systemic Qualitative and Quantitative approach to these problems, addressing first the technicality of durability, second the marginal cost of durability, and third the durability choice problem for complex engineering systems with network externalities (competition and market uncertainty) and obsolescence effects (technology evolution). Because the analyses are system-specific, a satellite example is used to illustrate the essence and provide a quantitative application of these analyses."--Jacket.
