We popose a calculation method by which we can estimate the value of the loss of pressure along the pipeline, the loss of pressure per length meter of network and the cost of the pneumatic energy loss in the case of the horizontal and vertical pneumatic network. The proposed method is validated...

Firms are heterogeneously endowed with two types of capabilities that jointly determine the trade-off within firms between managing a large portfolio of products and producing at low marginal cost. The model can explain many of the...

This paper reports data from a laboratory experiment on two-period moral hazard problems. The findings corroborate the contract-theoretic insight that even though the periods are technologically unrelated, due to incentive considerations principals can benefit from offering long-term contracts...
