In this paper three issues are pursued. First, a model of capacity constrained price competition is suggested. The basic feature of this model is that a pure strategy equilibrium exists for all price subgames. Second, this permits Cournot outcomes in heterogeneous markets to be interpreted as...

In this paper we consider a two periods model of cropping using irrigation. The farmer takes two kind of decisions, one related to the level of investment in irrigation capacity and the other one to the irrigation level in each period. In the first period, decisions are taken under uncertainty...

The "Capacitated lot sizing problem with setup carry-over" is based ort the well known "Capacitated lot sizing problem" and incorporates the possibility of preserving a setup-state from a period to the following. Sox and Gao [2] decompose their formulation of the first one (GCLP1) by Lagrangian...

Nicht in erster Linie der Stoff macht das Wesen eines Faches aus, sondern das in ihm gepflegte Denken. ... Die Pflege des betriebswirtschaftlichen Denkens ist nach meiner Meinung neben der Forschungsarbeit die wesentliche Aufgabe der akademischen Betriebswirtschaftslehre. Nach unserer Meinung...

This paper addresses a general class of nonpreemptive resource-constrained project scheduling problems in which activity durations are discrete functions of committed renewable and nonrenewabe resources. We provide a 0-1 problem formulation and stress the importance of the outlined model by...

This paper presents a new algorithm for the dynamic Multi-Level Capacitated Lot Sizing Problem with Setup Carry-Overs (MLCLSP-L). The MLCLSP-L is a big-bucket model that allows the production of any number of products within a period, but it incorporates partial sequencing of the production...

We present a stochastic version of the single-level, multi-product dynamic lotsizing problem subject to a capacity constraint. A production schedule has to be determined for random demand so that expected costs are minimized and a constraint based on a new backlog-oriented -service-level measure...

Two main approaches have been implemented in regional CO2 markets to address competitiveness and carbon leakage: output based allocation (Australia, California, New Zealand) and capacity based allocation (EU). This paper characterizes the best policy, given that auctioning with border adjustment...

We show in general that risky investments become more attractive asthe investment horizon (n) lengthens.Specifically, any investor's maximal expected utility directlyincreases with n, as well as the investor's willingness toallocate more capital to the risky assets if his optimal strategy...
