As in agriculture uncertainties have increased due to extreme weather events and yield variations, a critical examination of crop rotation strategies is needed. This study analyses the relationship between risk and crop rotation planning, addressing the challenges posed by an increasing yield...

This paper argues that the common practice of Bayesian estimation in applied macroeconomic DSGE modeling can lead to severely biased results when the imposed prior beliefs are misspecified. We demonstrate, through controlled Monte Carlo experiments on two canonical DSGE models (a Real Business...

Background: The vehicle routing problem (VRP) is of great importance in the Industry 4.0 era because enabling technologies such as the internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and geographic information systems (GISs) allows for real-time solutions to versions of the...

Background: Rapid helicopter air ambulance (HAA) response is a cornerstone of emergency medical logistics, yet the "time-to-care" metric remains highly sensitive to uncertainties in base posture, readiness, and operational disruptions. This study evaluates how these factors jointly influence...

We present the R package MSTest, which implements hypothesis testing procedures to determine the number of regimes in Markov switching models. These models have wide ranging applications in economics, finance, and many other fields. MSTest provides several testing frameworks, including Monte...
