Abstract The term “circular economy” is currently gaining a lot of attention and refers to sustainable economic model that aims conserve resources for longer period by reducing waste pollution, recycling reusing existing products materials, regenerating the natural environment. Therefore, consumers are those who have an important role play in driving transition such economy making purchasing de...

Do active secondary markets aid or harm durable goods manufacturers? We build a dynamic equilibrium model of durable goods oligopoly, with consumers who incur lumpy costs when transacting in the secondary market, and calibrate it to U.S. automobile industry data. By varying transaction costs, we obtain a direct measure of the competitive pressure that secondary markets create on durable goods m...

Problem definition: We study the sales planning problem of a producer who sells new and remanufactured versions durable good over finite life cycle. investigate whether slowing down product diffusion by choosing to partially satisfy demand might be profitable for producer. Academic/practical relevance: provide insights into management in closed-loop supply chains uncovering role key market char...

Densely aligned CoS2 nanowires (NWs) on chemically durable stainless steel fibers felt (SSF) substates were synthesized by thermal sulfuring Co3O4 NWs, which oxidized from hydrothermal Co(OH)y(CO3)(1?0.5y)·nH2O NWs precursors. The effect of sulfuration temperature the composition, morphology, and HER performance products was studied in detail. results show that high purity together with enlarge...
