We estimate the labor market consequences of corporate diversification using worker-firm matched data from the U.S. Census Bureau. We find evidence that workers in diversified firms have greater cross-industry mobility. Displaced workers experience significantly smaller losses when they move to...

We propose serial correlation robust asymptotic confidence bands for the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves estimated by quasi-maximum likelihood in the binormal model. Our simulation experiments confirm that this new method performs fairly well in finite samples. The conventional...

A sequential grouping heuristic (SGH) that supports parallel computing is presented for solving the two-dimensional cutting stock problem with pattern reduction, where a set of rectangular items with given demand are cut from rectangular stock plates of the same size, considering both...

Inventory managers often group inventory items into classes to manage and control them more efficiently. The well-known ABC inventory classification approach categorizes inventory items into A, B and C classes according to their sales and usage volume. In this paper, we present an optimization...

Cross-sectional analysis is problematic when examining the determinants of migration as well as its impacts. Panel data may potentially solve the problem by tracking households over different time periods. Using panel data from household surveys in six provinces in rural China over 1986 to 1999,...

Based on a five-letter model of the 20 amino acids, we propose a new 3-D graphical representation of protein sequence. Then we derive from the graphical representation, numerical indices called 3-D coupling numbers, to characterize protein sequences. The examination of the...

The pricing issue of supply chain options is generally considered in the Stackelberg game framework in the literature. Such a pricing scheme, however, is usually unacceptable to the follower in the game since it serves only the leader's interest. Different from the existing literature, we...
