This paper analyzes the stochastic inventory control problem when the demand distribution is not known. In contrast to … previous Bayesian inventory models, this paper adopts a non-parametric Bayesian approach in which the firm’s prior information … information about demand and it permits the accommodation of fixed order costs. As information on the demand distribution …

open-end funds are priced. Alternative pricing rules (known as swing pricing) adjust funds' net asset values to pass on …, we show that swing pricing eliminates the first-mover advantage arising from the traditional pricing rule and … significantly reduces redemptions during stress periods. The positive impact of alternative pricing rules on fund flows reverses in …

When the exchange rate fluctuates and the market exhibits hysteresis, planning horizons of domestic and foreign competitors will matter in determining pass-through as well as relative market shares of these firms. Using the Cournot duopoly model, it is shown that if the foreign exporter is a...

Our model shows that the elasticity of demand perceived by exporters decreases with a real … depreciation and with quality, leading to more pricing-to-market and to a smaller response of export volumes to a real depreciation … for higher quality goods.
