Integrated energy systems (IES) can help achieve greater efficiency, and then ultimately promote a climate-neutral economy by utilizing local renewable resources. Demand-side energy-saving measures reduce operational costs associated with usage. Most existing IES models, however, focus on supply-side optimization, while the demand-side potential its impacts whole-system performance are still no...

Transportation networks are often subject to fluctuations in supply-side parameters such as capacity and free-flow travel time due to factors such as incidents, poor weather, and bottlenecks. In such scenarios, assuming that network arcs exist in a finite number of states with different delay functions with different probabilities, a marginal cost pricing scheme that leads to a socially optimal...

In industries like health care, consumer goods and agriculture, shortages are widely observed and the consequences can be costly. One of the main drivers of such shortages is the uncertain nature of supply and demand. To reduce uncertainties, sufficient information about supply and demand can be obtained by gathering relevant data (e.g., auditing suppliers and conducting market research). In th...

We use structural scenario analysis to show that the climate policy mix—supply-side versus demand-side policies—can lead different oil price paths with diverging distributional consequences in a netzero emissions scenario. When emission reduction is driven by policies, prices would decline around 25 USD per barrel 2030, benefiting consuming countries. Vice versa, supply-side policies aimed at c...

We have developed a stochastic mathematical formulation for designing a network of multi-product supply chains comprising several capacitated production facilities, distribution centres and retailers in markets under uncertainty. This model considers demand-side and supply-side uncertainties simultaneously, which makes it more realistic in comparison to models in the existing literature. In thi...

Supply chains are subject to various types of uncertainty. According to Geary et al. (2002), these types of uncertainty can be classified in four categories: demand, process, supply, and control uncertainty. In this presentation, we propose and discuss an integrated hierarchical planning approach for supply chains that generates plans which are robust to two particular types of uncertainty, nam...

This paper empirically examines the impact of environmental uncertainty, IT enablers and interorganizational relationships on supply chain flexibility and supply chain integration. Based on the data collected from 196 organizations, multiple regression analyses are used to test the factors impacting supply chain flexibility and supply chain integration respectively. It was found that commitment...

My answer to the question—Is “supply-side economics” enough?— is simply that it is both too much and too little. This paper will elaborate the sense in which “supply-side economics” is an exaggerated answerto current economic problems, and the sense in which it falls short of providing an adequate solution to our economic ills. I shall contend that “supply-side economics,” as defined by the med...
