Price competition and store competition: Store brands vs. national brand

Choi, Sungchul; Fredj, Karima - In: European Journal of Operational Research 225 (2013) 1, pp. 166-178

This paper studies pricing strategies in a market channel composed of one national brand manufacturer and two retailers who, each, carry their own store brand and a national brand products. The model accounts for product competition between store brands and the national brand products, as well...

Bricks vs. clicks: Which is better for marketing remanufactured products?

Yan, Wei; Xiong, Yu; Xiong, Zhongkai; Guo, Nian - In: European Journal of Operational Research 242 (2015) 2, pp. 434-444

The economical and environmental benefits are the central issues for remanufacturing. Whereas extant remanufacturing research focuses primarily on such issues in remanufacturing technologies, production planning, inventory control and competitive strategies, we provide an alternative yet...

Generalized analytic network process

Zhu, Bin; Xu, Zeshui; Zhang, Ren; Hong, Mei - In: European Journal of Operational Research 244 (2015) 1, pp. 277-288

The analytic network process (ANP) is a methodology for multi-criteria decision making used to derive priorities of the compared elements in a network hierarchy, where the dependences and feedback within and between the elements can be considered. However, the ANP is limited to the input...

Worst-case robust Omega ratio

Kapsos, Michalis; Christofides, Nicos; Rustem, Berç - In: European Journal of Operational Research 234 (2014) 2, pp. 499-507

formulation of the Omega ratio requires perfect information for the probability distribution of the asset returns. In this paper …, we investigate the problem arising from the probability distribution of the asset returns being only partially known. We … introduce the robust variant of the conventional Omega ratio that hedges against uncertainty in the probability distribution. We …

Testing inference in heteroskedastic fixed effects models

Uchôa, Carlos F.A.; Cribari-Neto, Francisco; Menezes, … - In: European Journal of Operational Research 235 (2014) 3, pp. 660-670

This paper considers the issue of performing testing inference in fixed effects panel data models under heteroskedasticity of unknown form. We use numerical integration to compute the exact null distributions of different quasi-t test statistics and compare them to their limiting counterpart....
