We consider the problem of designing a 2-stations Automated Guided Vehicle System (AGVS). The AGV System consists of a pool of vehicles that transports products from one station to the other station through an unidirectional guidepath.

based on Chari and Jagannathan (1988), this paper models information-induced and "pure-panic"runs in an environment of risk-aves agents. In this framework, deposits are needed to provide insurance against investors'unexpected demand for liquidity and therefore, a role for financial intermediary...

The notion of disapprobation is defined. It is designed to capture some features of misspecification in a decision-theoretic framework. Moreover, it is a sample-based notion so it is well-suited for the study of misspecification in Bayesian contexts. Some elementary examples of disapprobation...

We study the effects of a decrease in trade costs on the spatial distribution of industry in a multi-regional economy, when a rise in the regional population of workers generates higher urban costs. We show that high and low trade costs imply that all regions involve a positive share of the...

The Nash equilibrium concept for strategic form games is based on the assumption of expected utility maximization. Reference dependant utility functions (in which utility is determined not only by an outcome, but also by the relationship of the outcome to a reference point) area better predictor...

In an example with two objects and four bidders, some of which have superadditive values, we characterize the equilibria of a simultaneous ascending auction and compare the revenue and efficiency generated with ones generated by the sequential , the one-shot simultaneous, and the...
