We consider a model for a serial supply chain in which production, inventory, and transportation decisions are integrated, in the presence of production capacities and for different transportation cost functions. The model we study is a generalization of the traditional single-item economic...

In the process of regulatory reform in the electric power industry, the mitigation of market power is one of the basic problems regulators have to deal with. We use experimental data to study the sources of market power with supply function competition, akin to the competition in wholesale...

In this article we consider the efficient estimation of the tail distribution of the maximum of correlated normal random variables. We show that the currently recommended Monte Carlo estimator has difficulties in quantifying its precision, because its sample variance estimator is an inefficient...

We propose a new class of observation-driven time-varying parameter models for dynamic volatilities and correlations to handle time series from heavy-tailed distributions. The model adopts generalized autoregressive score dynamics to obtain a time-varying covariance matrix of the multivariate...

conditions have the nice interpretation of restricting the level, slope and curvature of the correlation surface. It is proven … that the Schoenmakers-Coffey correlation matrix also brings along such factors. Finally, we formulate and corroborate our … conjecture that the order present in correlation matrices causes slope. …

Typically, the correlation coefficients at long-run horizons are significantly … negative and the correlation coefficients at short-run horizons are substantially higher. Additionally, there is evidence of … positive correlation at short-run forecast horizons for some countries. …

A test for serial independence is proposed which is related to the BDS test but focuses on tail event probabilities rather than probabilities near the center of the distribution. The motivation behind this approach is to obtain a test more suitable for detecting structure in the tails, such as...
