This paper provides a survey of recent experimental work in economics focussing on social and economic networks. The experiments consider networks of coordination and cooperation, buyer-seller networks , and network formation.

We consider the problem of shipping a set of products from a single origin (the vendor) to a common destination (the buyer) with the objective of minimizing the sum of the inventory and transportation costs, when a set of shipping frequencies is given and products are assumed to be perishable. We provide a mixed integer linear programming model for the problem and propose the modification of kn...

Available resources can often be limited with regard to the number of demands. In this paper we propose an approach for solving this problem using the mechanisms of multi-item auctions for allocating the resources to a set of software agents. We consider the resource allocation problem as a market with vendor and buyer agents participating in a multi-item auction. The agents exhibit different a...

In this paper, we have strived to combine all the above mentioned factors into a single problem. We shall undertake to explore a two echelon supply chain, comprising of a vendor and a buyer. The whole environment of business dealings has been assumed to be progressive credit period, which conforms to the practical market situation. The whole combination is very unique and very much practical. T...

This paper considers a multi-period news-vendor problem with partially observed supply capacity information which evolves as a Markovian Process. The supply capacity is fully observed by the buyer when the capacity is smaller than buyer’s ordering quantity. With a dynamic programming formulation, we prove the existence of a unique optimal ordering policy. In a two-state Markovian capacity case,...

This paper presents an economic order quantity (EOQ) inventory model for imperfect quality items with receiving a reparative batch and overlapping in dense fuzzy environment Here, the are identified by screening divided into either scrap or reworkable items. The kept store until next received. Afterwards, returned to supplier be reworked. Also, discount on purchasing cost is employed as offer o...
