Recent empirical research found that the strong short-term relationship between monetary aggregates and US real output and inflation, as outlined in the classical study by M. Friedman and Schwartz, mostly disappeared since the early 1980s. In the light of the B. Friedman and Kuttner (1992)...

In addition to containing stable information to explain inflation, state-local expenditures have also a larger share of the forecast error variance of US inflation than the Federal funds rate. Non-defense federal expenditures are useful in predicting real output variations and, starting from the...

In an upstream supply chain dedicated to the mass production of customized products, many sources create production instability: the level and structure of production in the final assembly line, variability of lead times, quality issues, packaging and loading constraints on transportation,...

Dans une chaîne logistique - amont orientée vers la production de masse de produits diversifiés, de nombreuses sources d’instabilité de la production et des approvisionnements existent : le niveau et la structure de la production de l’assemblage final, la variabilité des délais...

In an upstream supply chain (USC) dedicated to the mass production of customized products, decentralized management is possible and performing in the steady state, if all the links that precede the final assembly line use periodic replenishment policies. These policies require appropriate safety...

Extreme meteorological events have increased over the last decades and it is widely accepted that it is due to climate change. Some of the extremes, like drought or frost episodes largely affect agricultural outputs and risk management becomes crucial. The goal of this work it is to analyze...
