I would like to thank Hong and Luparello (2024) for their effort in replicating, as well as partially extending, the results in Orr (2022). This replication report makes what I believe to be three key points: 1. The replication package of Orr (2022) is computationally reproducible (up to two...

Dieser Leitfaden beleuchtet mithilfe einer fiktiven KMU die Herausforderungen der Integration und Digitalisierung der Supply Chain. Er zeigt auf, wie diese Herausforderungen von KMU erfolgreich bewältigt werden können. Tauchen Sie ein in die Geschichte der Schäubli AG. Erfahren Sie, wie das...

The Holt and Laury (2002) task is arguably the most widely employed method for eliciting individual risk attitudes in economics. However, although around 15% of standard experimental subjects fail to complete the task consistently, this fraction increases to an alarming 60-70% in the case of...

Many governments struggle with how to efficiently, effectively, and equitably allocate medical supplies and equipment. Medical supplies and equipment can be expensive and prone to mismatches in use, context, and the level of expertise needed to operate them. Optimizing allocation is particularly...

Although Machine Learning (ML) in supply chain management (SCM) has become a popular topic, predictive uses of ML in SCM remain an understudied area. A specific area that needs further attention is the prediction of late deliveries by suppliers. Recent approaches showed promising results but...

The machinery industry is a very difficult sector to develop in the short term. It is also not easy to drastically shorten the developmental period. Therefore, it is necessary for developing countries to thoroughly review Korea’s policy trends when designing machinery industry policies. This...

The World Economic Forum held in Davos, Switzerland in January this year raised a global issue by suggesting a new subject, “Mastering of the Fourth Industrial Revolution”. Compared to the previous subjects which were general economic issues such as low economic growth rate, interregional...

The authors emphasized that the development of the agricultural machinery industry is inextricably linked with the development of agricultural production, and consequently, changes in land use forms and the development of agricultural science, which, in turn, are conditioned by the current...

Being technology and knowledge-intensive and high valued, the engineering industry enhances the competitiveness and productivity of related industries. Moreover, recent economic circumstances continue to raise the significance of the engineering realm, not only along with the spread of...

The COVID-19 pandemic and its concomitant impact on businesses and markets are a set of challenges for the engineering industry-problems that may worsen relying on the duration or severity of the critical situation in the United States and around the world. Ambiguity about the severity and...

Using the example of the German Mechanical and Plant Engineering Association (Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbau, VDMA), this paper examines the viability of corporate history approaches in the history of the associations. The VDMA, one of the largest trade associations in the Federal...

This paper presents a comparative analysis of productivity growth in the U.S. and Japanese electrical machinery industries in the postwar period. This industry has experienced rapid growth in output and productivity and high rates of capital formation in both countries. A substantial amount of...

This paper investigates the relative cyclical behavior of the pay of piece workers and hourly paid workers. It uses a unique data set of blue-collar workers in British engineering between 1926 and 1966. The statistics are obtained from the payrolls of firms belonging to the Engineering Employers...

On their intensive margins, firms in the British engineering industry adjusted to the severe falls in demand during the 1930s Depression by cutting hours of work. This provided an important means of reducing labour input and marginal labour costs, through movements from overtime to short-time...

Die Studie untersucht die globale Umweltinanspruchnahme des deutschen Maschinenbausektors inkl. der gesamten vorgelagerten Lieferkette. Dies umfasst Treibhausgasemissionen, Luftschadstoffe, Wasserverbrauch sowie den Einsatz von ausgewählten Rohstoffen. Die Quantifizierung der Umweltbelastungen...

Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (including 3D printing) and Advanced Materials are the advanced technologies with the highest innovation potential embedded in machinery. The use of online applications in the machinery industry has been increasingly growing, which opens an array of advantages...

A brief expert report by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy for the IMPULS Foundation analyzes the effects of the law on corporate due diligence in supply chains, which was passed by the German parliament in June 2021. Key findings are that suppliers from developing countries may be...
