We propose a model to assess the value of a distributor in a dynamic stochastic cooperative advertising supply chain in which a manufacturer wholesales its product to the distributor who in turn sells it to a retailer. Moreover and importantly, the distributor also intermediates the pricing and...

We consider continuous-review, single-product, production-inventory systems with a constant replenishment rate, Lévy demand, and general inventory holding cost and lost-sales penalty. The Lévy demand encompasses various demand dynamics used in the inventory literature. We obtain the optimal...

We consider a dynamic Stackelberg game between a manufacturer and a retailer facing a randomly changing market environment over time modeled as a Markov process. The manufacturer announces the wholesale price and a cooperative (co-op) advertising subsidy, and the retailer sets the retail price...

In this paper, we solve a continuous-time portfolio choice problem of an investor under a Markov jump linear system that effectively captures stochasticity in asset returns, price impacts, and market resilience. Specifically, the investor chooses his portfolio to maximize the expected excess...
