Numerically stable and accurate stochastic simulation approaches for solving dynamic economic models

Judd, Kenneth; Maliar, Lilia; Maliar, Serguei - Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Económicas (IVIE) - 2011

We develop numerically stable and accurate stochastic simulation approaches for solving dynamic economic models. First, instead of standard least-squares methods, we examine a variety of alternatives, including least-squares methods using singular value decomposition and Tikhonov regularization,...

Setting Inventory Levels of CONWIP Flow Lines via Linear Programming

Helber, Stefan; Schimmelpfeng, Katja; Stolletz, Raik - In: BuR - Business Research 4 (2011) 1, pp. 98-115

This paper treats the problem of setting the inventory level and optimizing the buffer allocation of closed-loop flow lines operating under the constant-work-in-process (CONWIP) protocol. We solve a very large but simple linear program that models an entire simulation run of a closed-loop flow...

Impacts of Promoting Perennial Crops in the French Agriculture

Fradj, Nosra Ben; Jayet, Pierre-Alain - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2011

This paper is devoted to a quantitative analysis of the introduction of perennial crop in a short-term supply model. The analysis provides assessment of impacts regarding land use and N-input demand. We show that a variation in yield or the subsidy amount of miscanthus leads to a significant...

Limiting the Nitrogen Losses by N-tax and Bioenergy Support: A Quantitative Analysis of Environmental Policy Mix Impacts in the North of France

Fradj, Nosra Ben; Bourgeois, Cyril; Clodic, Melissa; … - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2011

This paper is devoted to assessment of policy mix impacts regarding nitrogen pollutants. The analysed policy combines a tax on the nitrogen input and incentives promoting perennial crops assumed to be low input ones. We show that perennial crop subsidy increases significantly the tax efficiency,...

OPTIMIZATION OF PRODUCTION PROBLEMS USING MATHEMATICAL PROGRAMMING

Szopa, Romuald; Marczyk, Bogdan - In: Polish Journal of Management Studies 4 (2011) 1, pp. 1-238

In production activity, starting manufacturing of a new product involves taking a particular risk. Therefore, the need arises for investigating the rational basis for starting such projects. This process should begin from the verification of the opportunities of reaching the expected effects of...

Alternative Production Models in Economic Theory

Dlouhý, Martin - In: Acta Oeconomica Pragensia 2011 (2011) 5, pp. 34-47

In the paper, marginal analysis and linear programming are described and then compared as two independent theoretical … approaches to production theory. Although marginal analysis dominates economic literature, we argue that linear programming is an … capacities of production factors. On the other hand, linear programming describes production as a combination of a finite number …
