Doctrinal analysis of IIAs explains little about the convergence in contents yet divergence in forms of IIAs. The evolutionary paradox of IIAs regime demands the political analysis of international legal Process. As a complex system, the long term evolution of IIAs regime is oriented by shift of...

The pivotal intermediate CHx(x=1-3) are commonly regarded as the reaction species involving in the conversion of syngas to hydrocarbons over the Co- and Ni-based catalysts. Here the DFT calculations and microkinetic modeling are employed. This work illustrates the new mechanism of CHx(x=1-3)...

We examine the launch of a mobile outpatient appointment app in China to study the effect of information provision and a streamlined appointment process on hospital operations and the alignment of healthcare supply and demand. Using a longitudinal dataset on hospital operations and a...

Problem Definition:This paper studies the sourcing of a monopoly firm that procures from multiple unreliable suppliers to meet its deterministic/price-dependent demand. The suppliers' production processes are unreliable and are modeled by correlated proportional random yields. Academic/Practical...

This paper develops a tractable model for the computational and empirical analysis of infinite-horizon oligopoly dynamics. It features aggregate demand uncertainty, sunk entry costs, stochastic idiosyncratic technological progress, and irreversible exit. We develop an algorithm for computing a...
