Automated Response Surface Methodology for Stochastic Optimization Models with Unknown Variance
Nicolai, Robin P.; Dekker, Rommert - 2005
Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is a tool that was introduced in the early 50's by Box and Wilson (1951). It is a …. Applications of RSM can be found in e.g. chemical, engineering and clinical sciences.

Inventor mobility, knowledge diffusion, and growth
Koike-Mori, Yasutaka; Maruyama, Toshitaka; Okumura, Koki - 2024
This paper develops an endogenous growth model that incorporates a frictional inventor market and examines the allocation of inventors across firms, knowledge diffusion, and its impact on growth. In our model, inventors play dual roles: they engage in in-house R&D and transfer knowledge from...

Absorptive capacity and post-acquisition inventor productivity
Hussinger, Katrin - 2010
Inventors often experience a low productivity after their company has been subject to a merger or acquisition (M&As). It is of central managerial interest to identify factors facilitating the integration of new inventive staff and thereby counteracting innovation declines after M&As. This paper...

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...
