Design of an Econometric Module to Support the ODCSPER Strength Management Systems Redesign

This study assessed alternative approaches to incorporating an econometric module in ODCSPER's redesigned strength management system. It includes an examination of the operation of the strength management system and an assessment of the analytical needs of strength planners. The study also looked at available econometric methodologies and results available in the literature. These findings were integrated with an evaluation of the major management issues for individual Army personnel communities. Study findings include a recommendation on the module's design specification, with description of key module algorithms and identification of appropriate econometric models and parameters. Other results include an evaluation of existing empirical parameters and recommendations for future econometric research to provide the module with new and improved parameters.Human Resources Research Organization Alexandria VA is the author of 'Design of an Econometric Module to Support the ODCSPER Strength Management Systems Redesign' with ISBN 9781423562658 and ISBN 1423562658.
