U a consignment contract with revenue sharing, a supplier decides on the retail price and delivery quantity for his product, and retains ownership of the goods; for each item sold, the retailer deducts a percentage from the selling price and remits the balance to the supplier. In this paper we show that, under such a contract, both the overall channel performance and the performance of individu...

With the development of deregulated power systems and increase of prices in some hours of day and increase fuel price, demand response programs were noticed more by customers. demand response consists of a series of activities that governments or utilities design to change the amount or time of electric energy consumption, to achieve better social welfare or some times for maximizing the benefi...

Rangeland ecosystems provide a wide range of services such as gas regulation function whose economic value has not been understood. The present study aimed to estimate the economic value of CO2 absorption and oxygen generation services using unit price in Sheikh Musa Rangeland, Mazandaran Province, Iran. In the study area, clipping and weight and photosynthesis methods were applied to estimate ...

Challenges in forecasting fleet development and deployment are in part due to fuel price uncertainty. To address this issue, a recent study developed an aircraft-specific Leontief technology operating cost model (LM) to compare aircraft costs under fuel price uncertainty. This model considers individual aircraft types to be Leontief technologies, such that the key drivers of cost must be used i...

In cloud computing, provisioning an optimal resource to consumer gets more and more crucial. Cloud computing consumers are able to use the set of computing resources by net. Cloud providers will receive some amount for these computational resources depending on usage of cloud resource. The provisional resource plans are reservation and also on demand. The computing resources will be provided ba...

BACKGROUND Bevacizumab is used extensively in the treatment of cancer, including advanced ovarian cancer, for which results of the International Collaborative Ovarian Neoplasm (ICON) 7 trial have been recently reported. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence's (NICE's) recent decision not to recommend bevacizumab for advanced ovarian cancer was not based on evidence related to th...

This paper introduces price sorting into a consumer search model. Either ascending or descending price sorting can be applied before the sampling process. Consumers search sequentially for products with two types of qualities. We allow a fraction of consumers to have zero search costs, and all other consumers have the same positive search cost. Price dispersion exists in the unique symmetric eq...

We study a bilateral trading relationship in which one agent, the seller, can make a non–recoverable investment in order to generate potential gains from trade. Afterwards, the seller makes a price offer that the buyer can either accept or reject. Economic theory predicts that if agents are selfish, neither the level of investment cost nor the buyer’s information about costs should affect the o...
