The paper deals with the analysis of a special dynamic production and inventory model. In this model logical …

This note explores the relationship between the price elasticity of demand and the R&D intensity of the product. We … cost of production. Within this framework, sectors with a higher R&D intensity show a lower price elasticity of demand …. This proposition is confirmed by an empirical investigation of export demand for manufactured goods from major …

This paper presents a meta-analysis of variations in price and income elasticities of residential water demand ….Information on the determinants of consumer demand is of pivotal importance for the efficiency and efficacy ofpublic and private … policy-making. It is also crucial for effective water demand management. We focus on theapplication of statistical methods to …

Demand for first-generation wireless services was highly elastic and the welfare gains to an … (early) adopter moderate. Pricing and taxation of wireless services had a large suppressing effect on demand …

In this paper we first show that the gains achievable by integrating pricing and inventory control are usually small … for classical demand functions. We then introduce reference price models and demonstrate that for this class of demand … functions the benefits of integration with inventory control are substantially increased due to the price dynamics. We also …

In this paper an inventory model with several demand classes, prioritised according to importance, is analysed. We … consider a lot-for-lot or (S-1,S) inventory model with lost sales.For each demand class there is a critical stock level at and … below which demand from that class is not satisfied from stock on hand. In this way stock is retained to meet demand from …

In most multi-item inventory systems, the ordering costs consist of a major cost and a minor cost for each item … included. Applying for every individual item a cyclic inventory policy, where the cycle length is a multiple of some basic … discussed in this paper. It is shown that this algorithm can be used for deterministic multi-item inventory problems, with …
