The food industry faces complex challenges in managing supply chains, significantly affecting operational performance and costs. This paper explores the critical factors influencing the efficiency of food supply chains, such as product perishability, seasonality, climate change, and high...

This paper characterizes the short- and long-run Cournot equilibrium with heterogeneous firms and stochastic technological change. In our model, firms have different technologies with heterogeneous fixed and variable costs and various degrees of markups. In a framework with homogeneous firms,...

Companies across industries seek to assess the costs of complying with environmental regulations and meeting voluntary emission targets. This paper develops a carbon abatement cost model for firms operating a portfolio of assets with differing cost or load profiles. The resulting abatement cost...

This paper addresses the problem of cost minimization in a dynamic production environment where total costs depend not only on the production amount but also on production speed-a factor often overlooked in traditional production models. Unlike previous studies that focus solely on production...
