The purpose of this paper is to consider a partial equilibrium model for a sustainable infrastructure investment in a labor-production economy. We consider an inter-temporal Stackelberg game in a "capital primitive" economy where all capital investments are made by a Central Agency (a...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce and construct a state dependent counting and persistent random walk. Persistence is imbedded in a Markov chain for predicting insured claims based on their current and past period claim. We calculate for such a process, the probability generating...

The purpose of this paper is to study the mean, the variance, the probability distribution and the hazard rate of the inverse range process of an a-priori unknown volatility random walk. Motivation for this process arises when it is necessary to obtain statistics that pertain to a process...

This paper considers an individual's problem and effects on savings for retirement. We show using a deterministic model, a linear utility function and assuming an individual can benefit from a tax break in savings, that under reasonable circumstances, there is only one switch from not saving to...

We consider a manufacturer's dual distributions channels consisting on the one hand of a virtual (online) channel operated directly by a manufacturer and on the other hand of a real (offline) channel operated by an intermediate retailer. Customers are assumed heterogeneous in their virtual...
