Stochastic Programming offers models and methods for decision problems wheresome of the data are uncertain. These models have features and structural properties which are preferably exploited by SP methods within the solution process. This work contributes to the methodology for two-stagemodels....

This book contains both a theoretical analysis of (supply) price stabilization on world agricultural markets and an econometric investigationof recent sugar market policies. The theoretical part explicitly considers the effects of protected domestic markets: It shows price stabilization to be...

This experimental study examines both spontaneous and strategically planned behavior of boundedly rational sub- jects in a dynamic duopoly situation. Spontaneous behavior is observed in game-playing experiments where students from the University of Bonn have played the dynamic duopoly game by...

These notes draw from the Theory of Cointegration in order to test the monetary model of exchange rate determination. Previous evidence shows that the monetary model does not capture the short run dynamics of the exchange rate, specially when assessed in terms of forecasting accuracy. Even...

This book describes both the latest research on transit vehicle and crew scheduling and the application of the methods by the transit industry. It also contains several papers on the use of technology and data collection methods for transit scheduling and planning. It has a section on the data...

This book contains 30 selected, refereed papers from an in- ternational conference on bootstrapping and related techni- ques held in Trier 1990. Thepurpose of the book is to in- form about recent research in the area of bootstrap, jack- knife and Monte Carlo Tests. Addressing the novice and the...

This book deals with the analysis of some formal problems involving operators in Euclidean spaces and their applications to economic modelling. It contains a set of new results on the solvability of complementarity problems and variational inequalities, and a number of applications to...

This is a proceedings volume of a workshop on "Computationally intensive methods in Simulation and Optimization". The purpose of the meeting was to review and evaluate newly developed methods for combining simulation andoptimization. These methods are used for decision problems about stochastic...

Experts in operations research and developers of software application systems have been treading separate paths for many years. It is urgently necessary to reset this course so that the demanding requirements of variousCIM concepts can be realized. This is specially relevant for computer-based...

This book contains a collection of 10 lectures about modern methods of optimization. Each of these lectures is devoted to a topic of current interest in optimization and gives an overview starting with the first ideasand leading to recent developments. It can serve as an introduction intonew...
