Emerging market demonstrates four constraints, namely wealth-related constraint, skill-related constraint, access-related constraint and time-related constraint. The distinguishing features of emerging market customers are their low per capita income, consequently, they expect to pay below average price on commercial products with good-enough quality and services. High-quality low-price commodi...

Due to the inherent non-linearity and non-stationary characteristics of financial stock market price time series, conventional modeling techniques such as the Box–Jenkins autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) are not adequate for stock market price forecasting. In this paper, a forecasting model based on chaotic mapping, firefly algorithm, and support vector regression (SVR) is propo...

This paper considers a risk-based approach for indifference valuation of contingent claims in the context of a continuous-time stochastic volatility model. Since the market in the model is incomplete there is more than one arbitrage-free price of an option. We adopt a risk-based approach to select a seller’s and a buyer’s indifference price for the option contract. A convex risk measure is used...

An economic driven JRRM algorithm is introduced in a multicell scenario based on guaranteeing a certain user acceptance probability of a given service while at the same time increasing the network provider revenue. It includes both service price and user utility and allows an operator to envisage the price impact on the final revenue attained. The paper focuses on two profiles, namely consumer ...

This paper studies a location–routing–inventory problem in a multi-period closed-loop supply chain with multiple suppliers, producers, distribution centers, customers, collection centers, recovery, and recycling centers. In this supply chain, centers are multiple levels, a price increase factor is considered for operational costs at centers, inventory and shortage (including lost sales and back...
