We embed the principal–agent model in a model of spatial differentiation with correlated consumer preferences to investigate the competitive implications of personalized pricing and quality allocation (PPQ), whereby duopoly firms charge different prices and offer different qualities to different consumers, based on their willingness to pay. Our model sheds light on the equilibrium productline p...

This paper presents a study that characterizes, formulates, and solves the reverse logistic network design. A Mixed Linear Program model is formulated that systematically minimizes reverse logistics operating costs for the strategic problem facility location of collection sites, cannibalization and recycling. The facility location is a central issue of the logistics networks. In this paper we a...
