Strategic capacity choice under uncertainty: the impact of market structure on investment and welfare
Grimm, Veronika; Zoettl, Gregor - 2008
We analyze a market game where firms choose capacities under uncertainty about future market conditions and make output choices after uncertainty has unraveled. We show existence and uniqueness of equilibrium under imperfect competition and establish that capacity choices by strategic firms are...

Capacity Choice under Uncertainty with Product Differentiation
Behrens, Christiaan; Lijesen, Mark - 2012
This article analyses the capacity-then-price game for a duopoly market. We add to the literature by explicitly taking product differentiation into account. We study the impact of capacity costs, demand uncertainty, and vertical and horizontal product differentiation on equilibrium capacities,...

Hedonic price equilibria, stable matching, and optimal transport: Equivalence, topology, and uniqueness
Chiappori, Pierre-André; McCann, Robert J.; Nesheim, Lars - 2007
Hedonic pricing with quasilinear preferences is shown to be equivalent to stable matching with transferable utilities and a participation constraint, and to an optimal transportation (Monge-Kantorovich) linear programming problem. Optimal assignments in the latter correspond to stable matchings,...

Vertical integration and operational flexibility
Moretto, Michele; Rossini, Gianpaolo - 2008
The main aim of the paper is to highlight the relation between flexibility and vertical integration. To this purpose, we go through the selection of the optimal degree of vertical disintegration of a flexible firm which operates in a dynamic uncertain environment. The enterprise we model enjoys...

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,...

CapSys: A tool for macroscopic capacity planning of IBM mainframe systems
Tilev, Milen; Müller-Clostermann, Bruno - 2008
Capacity planning for large-scale systems like mainframe installations is typically based on rather coarse historical workload data. Hence, it is advisable to employ techniques and tools that use the same macroscopic (high-level) view of the overall system. We follow the classic approach known...
