The uncertain nature of the demand for university parking has now created a major problem for university planners. From a facilities planning perspective, it is important to comprehend the probabilistic nature of the demand for parking and parking rules violations. Given this background, in our...

In this paper, we study the commuting behavior of citizens living in or near a city who must decide how to get to work. Such citizens can always use their own car and drive to work. However, they can also take public transport to work. The two public transport options we consider involve taking...

The scheduling problem faced by a firm (or by a government agency) that is responsible for providing transportation to tourists who would like to visit a particular location has received scant theoretical attention in the tourism literature. Therefore, we conduct a probabilistic analysis of the...

In this note, we provide answers to two hitherto unstudied questions in the tourism literature. Specifically, we first show how the theory of discrete-time Markov Chains (DTMCs) can be used to effectively model and analyze the problem of providing guided tours to tourists during the off-peak...

We provide the first strategic analysis of the interaction between a continuum of potentially green consumers and two firms in regional science. Firm 1 (2) sells new (remanufactured) toner cartridges. Each firm selects its price and a consumer purchases from the firm that offers her the highest...

Issues germane to the provision of guided tours for tourists wishing to visit a particular location during the slack season have received scant theoretical attention in the tourism literature. Therefore, we conduct a stochastic analysis of guided tours for tourists during the slack season. We...

The following is a description of the paper, and not the actual abstract as it appeared in the journal. In this paper we analyze the problem faced by an asymmetrically informed supra-national governmental authority (SNGA) who wishes to design an International Environmental Agreement (IEA). We...
