We propose a stochastic programming approach for quantitative analysis of supply contracts, involving flexibility, between a buyer and a supplier, in a supply chain framework.

We use a Ricardo-Viner model to study the determinants of the supply of outmigration in developing countries in a model with neterogenous households. We assume that heterogeneity and migration costs prevent households from total migration.

In this paper, we use the hedonic approach to estimate the value of a statistical life based on the 1995 Swiss Labour Force Survey (SLFS) and the 1994 Swiss Wage Structure Survey (SWSS). Roughly, the value of a statistical life in Switzerland ranges from CHF 10 to 15 million (6.5-9.5 million...

Cette etude analyse le lien entre la disparite regionale du chomage et la politique migratoire suisse a l'aide de la courbe de Beveridge (ou U-V). Cette derniere a ete largement utilisee par d'autres auteurs pour etudier l'effet du chomage de longue duree et les mismatchs notamment. Notre...

Pour que l'information tiree de la demande de monnaie soit fiable, il faut que cette relation soit stable dans le temps. Nous etudions la stabilite des demandes de monnaie pour M1, M2 et M3. Deux hypotheses principales sont testees. La premiere considere que l'omission du taux de change de la...

During the 80's, Microelectronical Systems (MEMS) have emerged as a new technological paradigm in the United States. From early one, some of Japanese private companies, who had already been engaged in a fierce technology race to develop semiconductors, decided to engage their R&D efforts in this...

L'objet de cet article est d'amnder le modele d'Ehrlich et Backer pour l'adapter aux problemes specifiques poses par les soins de sante en supposant que l'individu est a la fois averse aux risques de revenu et de sante. Nous derivons les proprietes d'une part de la demande de soins curatifs et...

In this paper, a spatial (circular) model is used to endogenously determine product locations and prices when consumers have an elastic (linear) demand with a finite reservation price. I show that a symmetric two-stage Bertrand-Nash equilibrium requires maximal product differentiation....
