This means the engineer should strive to do the best job he can on each estimate, and apply adequate factors to keep the cost conservative. All project costs seem to grow as the project matures. Few projects reduce in scope or cost as more information is developed. A Rand Corporation study documents these cost increases as plans mature (Reference 1).

The experiment conducted by the Rand Corporation in the late 1970s, designed as a large-scale experiment in order to overcome this methodological difficulty, is already a classic in the field of health economics.22 It consisted in allocating 16 different 3-5-year health insurance schemes at random to a broad sample of people distributed geographically in six different areas of the USA. The co-payment rates varied from 0 per cent to 95 per cent, depending on the scheme and the services provided. The data supplied by the...

Empirical work about the liability system utilizes several famous data sets. The Insurance Service Office, a research arm of the insurance industry, randomly sampled product liability claims in 1976 and 1977, but the universe represents only claims. Viscusi (1986,1988,1989b) has extensively used these data. The Rand Corporation has assembled the results of all civil jury trials held in federal and superior state courts in Cook County, Illinois, and San Francisco, California, from 1959 through 1984 and issued a series of studies (Peterson 1986).

Study by the Rand Corporation found that every dollar spent in drug treatment saves society seven dollars in crime, policing, incarceration, and health services. 

One of the pioneers of the network security and reliability who investigated large communication networks in 1960s was Paul Baran from the RAND Corporation [1],Another pioneer was Leonard Kleinrock. At about the same time the famous mathematical genius Paul Erdos and his collaborator Alfred Renyi investigated random networks.

A 2002 study by Arthur D. Little Inc. on the energy consumption of office and telecommunications equipment came to a conclusion similar to that of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.14 So did a 2002 study by the Rand Corporation.151 am unaware of a single independent study that supports the original Mills-Huber analysis.
