Metaheuristics for the Order Batching Problem in Manual Order Picking Systems
Henn, Sebastian; Koch, Sören; Doerner, Karl F.; … - In: BuR - Business Research 3 (2010) 1, pp. 82-105
In manual order picking systems, order pickers walk or drive through a distribution warehouse in order to collect items which are requested by (internal or external) customers. In order to perform these operations efficiently, it is usually required that customer orders are combined into (more...

Sales force deployment by genetic concepts
Sprecher, Arno - 1999
Sales force management decisions belong to the major issues considered in marketing research. Among others, the alignment of sales territories has been one of the main field of work for years. Recent results have reported a strong impact of the alignment of sales territories on profit, and,...

Cost Sharing under Uncertainty: An Algorithmic Approach to Cooperative Interval-Valued Games
Kimms, Alf; Drechsel, Julia - In: BuR - Business Research 2 (2009) 2, pp. 206-213
Recently, Branzei, Dimitrov, and Tijs (2003) introduced cooperative interval-valued games. Among other insights, the notion of an interval core has been coined and proposed as a solution concept for interval-valued games. In this paper we will present a general mathematical programming algorithm...

Finite sample correction factors for panel cointegration tests
Hlouskova, Jaroslava; Wagner, Martin - 2009
In this paper we present finite T mean and variance correction factors and corresponding response surface regressions for the panel cointegration tests presented in Pedroni (1999, 2004), Westerlund (2005), Larsson et al. (2001), and Breitung (2005). For the single equation tests we consider up...

Reproducible Econometric Simulations
Kleiber, Christian; Zeileis, Achim - 2011
Reproducibility of economic research has attracted considerable attention in recent years. So far, the discussion has focused on reproducibility of empirical analyses. This paper addresses a further aspect of reproducibility, the reproducibility of computational experiments. We examine the...

Standard and Shuffled Halton Sequences in a Mixed Logit Model
Staus, Alexander - 2008
. Simulation methods have been developed to approximate a solution for these integrals. This paper describes the Standard Halton … sequence and a modification of it, the Shuffled Halton sequence. Both are simulation methods which can reduce computational … effort compared to a random sequence. We compare the simulation methods in their coverage of the multi-dimensional area and …

Autonomously Interacting Banks
Lengwiler, Yvan; Maringer, Dietmar - 2011
The great financial turmoil that started 2007 has brought bank regulation back into the political debate. There is talk about imposing new regulations on banks and other financial intermediaries. Yet, we are not convinced that it is completely understood how the existing regulation affects...

Firms formation and growth in the model with heterogeneous agents and monitoring
Marko, Peter; Švarc, Petr - 2008
In this article we extend the agent-based model of firms' formation and growth proposed in [4]. In [4] the firms' creation, expansion or contraction results from the interaction of heterogeneous utility maximizers. While the original model was able to replicate the power law distribution in the...

Technology adoption and herding behavior in complex social networks
Švarcová, Natalie; Švarc, Petr - 2008
Using a simple computational model, we study consequences of herding behavior in population of agents connected in networks with different topologies: random networks, small-world networks and scale-free networks. Agents sequentially choose between two technologies using very simple rules based...
