Carbon policies are often limited to certain regions. Consequently, unadjusted regions offer companies a higher degree of flexibility. However, carbon leakage leads to a shift in production locations to regions without carbon policies. To prevent carbon leakage, carbon tariffs are imposed on...

We propose a new model formulation for a three-echelon supply network design problem incorporating the concept of relocatable modular capacities. A robust supply network configuration must be determined based on uncertain demand. Furthermore, by incorporating the conditional value at risk...

We study the United Nations Organization's Kyoto Protocol nations to address two questions. First of all, what are the environmental production efficiency rankings of these nations? Secondly, is there a relationship between a nation's ratification status and its environmental production...

By sharing production resources, integrated firms have higher returns on investment for intangible knowledge-based assets in comparison to stand-alone firms (Markusen 1995). Building on a single-leader-multi-follower game, this paper considers business groups, where a parent firm (the leader)...

Coordinating contracts have been extensively researched in supply chain management. In this retrospect, we systematically review the profit allocation, decision sequence, and compliance aspects of these contracts. In addition to the existing concepts in the literature, we propose the notion of...

The extant data-driven newsvendor literature has not addressed the issue of incorporating individual-level data. We take up this issue and begin with learning a potential customer's buy/no buy pattern during each store visit, which depends on the interaction between individual features (such as...

We study a system with heterogeneous parallel servers, each with an infinite waiting room. Upon arrival, a job is routed to the queue of one of the servers. The objective is to find the routing policy that best utilizes the available state information to minimize the expected stationary queue...

Inventory management for a new product is challenging due to the lack of historical data, and sales data cannot fully capture the actual demand as excess demand is usually unobservable. Meanwhile, demand-related features are available in the era of big data. We study how to determine the...

Based on the conditional value at risk criterion (CVaR), this paper constructed the additional-ordering newsvendor model considering the degree of risk aversion, the lost sale penalty cost and the limit of additional ordering, gave the satisfying conditions of optimal ordering quantity, and...

Demand patterns for products with seasonality and or short life-cycles do not follow a clear discernible pattern (to allow predictive time-series modeling of demand) for individual sales events or seasons due to such factors as considerable demand volatility, product promotions, and unforeseen...
