The International Maritime Organization's initial strategy on reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from ships stipulates that the international shipping sector should assess the impacts on states prior to adoption of the mitigation measures included in the strategy. This assessment should be...

Facility location decisions play a critical role in designing logistics networks. This article provides some guidelines on how location decisions and logistics functions can be integrated into a single mathematical model to optimize the configuration of a logistics network. This will be...

Prominent financial stock pricing models are built on assumption that asset returns follow a normal (Gaussian) distribution. However, many authors argue that in the practice stock returns are often characterized by skewness and kurtosis, so we test the existence of the Gaussian distribution of...

This paper proposes a particular behavioral assumption to characterize the stochastic structure of intertemporal discrete choice models in the absence of state dependence. This assumption extends Luce's axiom; Independence from Irrelevant Alternatives, to the intertemporal context. Under certain...

In the general linear errors-in-variables model the main results have been derived under the assuption that the measurement errors are uncorrelated. However, as recognized by Bekker, Kapteyn and Wansbeek (BKW) (1997) and Lach (1993) this is often a problematic assumption to maintain in empirical...
