Automatic payment systems (APS) play an important role in the productive activity of the passengers transport companies. The companies using APSs profit from an improved security and commercial speed and their clients from a reduction in the trip cost. We describe how to apply the ubiquitous paradigm in order to improve APSs and present an APS model that allow clients to use different mobile de...

This paper proposes a simple model that formalizes a variant of Ohanian's (2001) conjecture explaining the productivity declines observed in the Great Depression. If a large payment shock like an asset-price collapse renders many firms insolvent, other economic agents become exposed to a higher risk of not being paid (payment uncertainty). The payment uncertainty causes endogenous disruptions o...

While mobile payment is easy and time save, the operation and security of mobile payment must ensure that the payment is fast, convenient, reliable and safety in order to increase the users’ satisfaction. Therefore, this study based on technology acceptance model to explore the impact of external v...

This paper examines an extended double auction model where market clearing is restricted by temporal constraints. It is found that the allocation problem in this model can be effectively transformed into a weighted bipartite matching in graph theory. By using the augmentation technique, we propose a Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) mechanism in this model and demonstrate the advantages of the paymen...

This article describes research related to the design of a payment model for specialty oncology services for possible testing by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Cancer is a common and costly condition. Episode-based payment, which aims to create incentives for high-quality, low-cost care, has been identified as a promising a...

In project management, most manufacturers (project managers) offer no delayed payment contracts under which each supplier (contractor) will receive a pre-specified payment when she completes her task. However, some manufacturers impose delayed payment contracts under which each supplier is paid only after all suppliers have completed their tasks. In this paper, we investigate whether or not the...
