In the case of employer discrimination, the employer's steady-state utility, given the tied-salary/hours offer, is expressed as: [ρ j (H) − S]l m (v m, F m ) for men, and [ρ j (H) − S − d ER ]l f (v f, F f ) for women.
A study of patients in nine European countries found an unemployment rate of 50%% among patients of working age with an EDSS score of 3.0, and also found a steady decline in utility score [calculated from the 5-dimension European Quality of Life (EuroQol) questionnaire] with increasing EDSS score [ 5].

Now, it is the traditional strength of a utility, the steady streams of small cash payments from a large number of individual customers, come boom or recession, that attracts attention.
Our meta regression showed steady growth of health utility scores over the stable period of ART, however many side-effects of ART, including lipodystrophy, sleep disturbance, and sexual functioning, have negative effects on patients' quality of life and should be reflected in HRQL measures [ 12, 13, 76, 77].

Next, the salary is chosen to maximize the steady-state profit (or utility) flow, given ( {H}_j^ ) and ( {theta}_j^ ): {pi}_j=underset{(S)}{ max}left[{rho}_jleft({H}_j^right -Sright]{l}^mleft(S+{xi}^mpH}_j^right -Srightt),{F}^mright)+left[{rho}_jleft({H}_j^right)-S-{d}^{ER}right]{l}^mleft(S+{xi}^mphi left({H}_j^right),{F}^mright).
