If I estimated working 10 hours a week doing paid labor that earned me at most $300 and, say, another 15 hours a week without pay marketing my availability, traveling to conferences, reading up on new developments in my field, or trying to arrange engagements for next year -- as any entrepreneur knows, an impossibly low time commitment -- that's not change enough.
If I estimate myself to be 'highly competitive', I expect to derive high utility from actions that lead to me doing better than others, even if my material returns are somewhat lower than under some other outcome (e.g., where I come second).
For example, I estimated that if this borrower made all payments on time for 2 years, and assuming no change in the general market, he might be able to refinance an 11% loan into a 7-8% loan.
Still, using some pretty complex math, I estimated that even if I ate feasts like this every night, I would only be emptying the bin every 4.3 days.
Looking at a map, I estimated where I'd be on Saturday if I started on Wednesday: Big Sur.
I estimate that if carried out, this should do the job in about a month.
After careful calculation, I estimate that, if this rate of consumption be steadily maintained, our present stock will last us an infinite number of years".
I estimate that if investors who use the EAFE benchmark reallocate assets into Canada in proportion to its share of the world equity market, an extra $120 billion or so will flow in -- equivalent to more than 20percentt of the market capitalization of the companies in Morgan Stanley's Canada index.
I estimate that if Medicare were to demand a 30percentt volume discount, the savings over a ten-year period could total a trillion dollars.
My colleagues and I estimate that if all households with one or more non-citizens gave up the SNAP and WIC benefits to which their U.S. citizen children are entitled, more than 500,000 of the children could fall into poverty, and more than 200,000 of them could fall into deep poverty (below 50percentt of the Supplemental Poverty Measure threshold).
If low-frequency variants are ignored, I estimate α to be between 44%61%% (and the 95% confidence intervals do not overlap zero, Table 3).
