In the current competitive and dynamic market, customer demands and interests are changing continuously, and hence, risk of disruption in the supply chain is also increasing. To be successful in this scenario, supply chain of a firm should be resilient. Most of the firms realize that with a specific end goal to develop a resilient supply chain, there is a need for assessment of performance. The...

This paper investigates some of the man~estations and major forces driving the emergence of the new economy. A model of the virtual enterprise is proposed and investigated in the context of a virtual industry value chain. The transition to the virtual economy is definitely technology driven but is also shaped by social, economic, institutional forces. As such, it raises a number of significant ...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of silicone remover on tensile bond strength of eight silicone-resilient denture liners to a denture base resin. Durability of bond strength of resilient denture liner to denture base resin was also examined by thermal cycling test. Materials and Methods: Eight commercial silicone resilient denture liners were used. The specimens...

This article formalizes investor rationality and irrationality, exuberance and apprehension, to consider the implications of belief formation for the fragility of an economy’s financial structure. The model presented generates a financial structure with portfolio linkages that make it susceptible to contagious financial crises, despite the absence of coordination failures. Investors forecast th...

| This paper studies resilient functions which have applications in fault-tolerant distributed computing, quantum cryptographic key distribution and random sequence generation for stream ciphers. We present a number of new methods for synthesizing resilient functions. An interesting aspect of these methods is that they are applicable both to linear and to nonlinear resilient functions. Our seco...

We study a general equilibrium model in which trade is driven by institutional di erences (di erences in environmental distortions) and di ering factor endowments (di erences in production-related environmental stocks). The endogenous evolution of environmental stocks depends on the trade regime and on the extent of environmental distortions in the two countries. The economy can have multiple s...

Uncertainty is pervasive in economic policy-making. Modern economies share similarities with other complex systems in their unpredictability. But economic systems also differ from those in the natural sciences because outcomes are affected by the state of beliefs of the systems' participants. The dynamics of beliefs and how they interact with economic outcomes can be rich and unpredictable. Thi...
