Análisis no paramétrico de eficiencia en presencia de outputs no deseables

Sancho, Francesc Hernández; Tadeo, Andrés José Picazo; … - Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Económicas (IVIE) - 1997

In this work a non parametric approach is used in order to evaluate the relative efficiency of a sample of firms producers of wooden goods, in presence of non desirable outputs. As main results, we find that the consideration of several restrictions on the expansion of non desirable outputs...

Rebiasz, Bogdan - In: Operations Research and Decisions 3 (2009), pp. 95-117

A new algorithm for selecting an effective investment project portfolio from a collection of projects developed by a …-objective optimization problem. The algorithm is suited for enterprises with multistage production cycles, e.g. enterprises in the … interdependencies existing among projects. Upon choosing projects the algorithm takes into account twp criteria: maximization of the …

Tackling the Retailer Decision Maze: Which Brands to Discount, How Much, When and Why?

Tellis, Gerard J.; Zufryden, Fred S. - In: Marketing Science 14 (1995) 3, pp. 271-299

We propose a model that seeks the optimal timing and depth of retail discounts with the optimal timing and quantity of the retailer's order over multiple brands and time periods. The model is based on an integration of consumer decisions in purchase incidence, brand choice and quantity with the...

Wind Power: The Economic Impact of Intermittency

van Kooten, Gerrit Cornelis - Department of Economics, University of Victoria - 2009

Wind is the fastest growing renewable energy source for generating electricity, but economic research lags behind. In this study, therefore, we examine the economics of integrating large-scale wind energy into an existing electrical grid. Using a simple grid management model to investigate the...

Decoupling and prices: determinant of dairy farmers’ choices?

Lelyon, Baptiste; Chatellier, Vincent; Daniel, Karine - In: Review of Agricultural and Environmental Studies - … 92 (2011) 1, pp. 47-68

In this paper, we discuss the cross-effects on the productive strategy of French dairy farms due to the decoupling and to price variation. A model based on mathematical programming has been developed to determine how dairy farmers might re-evaluate their systems to identify an optimal production...
