Several emerging studies have focused on the pricing issue of bandwidth sharing between Wi-Fi and WiMAX networks; however, most either concentrate on the design of collaborated protocols or figure out the issue without the overall consideration of consumer preferences and contract design. In this study, we explore a wireless service market in which there are two wireless service providers opera...

This paper assesses the impact of sharing customers’ channel preference information on pricing and performance in a dual channel supply chain, where the supplier opens a direct channel and a traditional retailer owns a retail channel. Both the supplier and the retailer perform their forecasting demands based on the ratio of consumers’ preferences in the direct channel when we consider the chara...

P management is a crucial component of information security management. An important problem within this context from a vendor’s perspective is to determine how to release patches to fix vulnerabilities in its software. From a firm’s perspective, the issue is how to update vulnerable systems with available patches. In this paper, we develop a game-theoretic model to study the strategic interact...

In this paper we study delegated portfolio management when the manager’s ability to short-sell is restricted. Contrary to previous results, we show that under moral hazard, linear performance-adjusted contracts do provide portfolio managers with incentives to gather information. The risk-averse manager’s optimal effort is an increasing function of her share in the portfolio’s return. This resul...

This paper models individual medical care consumption over an insurance year, explicitly accounting for variations in the effective price of medical care due to several characteristics of the health insurance contract.
