古诺竞争的选址模型研究

在Paul提出的圆环形城市模型基础上,通过引入成本分布函数,扩展了Pal和Matsushima的模型,建立了一个新的带有成本因子的选址与产量竞争的双寡头竞争模型.结果表明:如果成本分布函数是常数,那么两企业均衡地分布于圆环形城市将达到完美的纳什均衡;如果成本分布函数是严格凸函数,当运输系数较小时,企业将在产品成本分布函数最小点处集聚,并各自达到利润最大化.

套期保值者策略性交易和市场多重均衡

金融市场中,投资者为规避风险经常采取套期保值策略,降低因资产价值波动带来的风险.从金融市场微观结构理论出发,通过分析知情交易者交易策略和做市商定价策略对套期保值者交易的影响,构建了套期保值者策略交易模型.从模型和数值分析得出,套期保值者的策略性交易使市场具有产生多重均衡的可能:一种为套期保值者数量多,流动性高的均衡;另一种为套期保值者数量少,流动性低的均衡.其形成过程为套期保值者进入(退出)市场会引起其他套期保值者进入(退出)市场,形成预期自我实现现象,导致不同流动性下的均衡.     

考虑IT基础设施作用的外部知识对企业流程创新影响的博弈模型

本文基于知识基础观理论和吸收能力理论,以两个异质性制造企业组成的寡头竞争市场为研究对象,参考经典研发竞争AJ模型和非对称研发模型,建立考虑IT基础设施作用的外部知识对企业流程创新影响的博弈模型。研究表明,对于异质性企业来说,成本和IT基础设施投入占优的企业通过流程创新将拥有更大的市场份额,且企业通过合作创新方式引入的外部知识量也随着初始生产成本差异和IT基础设施投入的变化而改变,总体来说,企业异质性是企业流程创新竞争不平衡性的重要原因。考虑IT基础设施作用的情况下,企业引入外部知识进行流程创新对均衡产量具有正向影响,对均衡利润的影响存在阈值,呈现先增加后降低的趋势。由于溢出效应的存在,两个企业的均衡利润随领先企业的IT基础设施投入的增加而增加,但领先企业的均衡利润随IT基础设施投入的增加幅度更大,且领先企业的均衡利润占优。本文进一步提出了加强IT基础设施建设,促进外部知识利用,提升企业流程创新能力的管理启示。

网络外部性条件下差异化双边平台买者参与问题

双边平台存在的基础是参与的用户,因此用户的分配是双边市场上各利益主体最关心的问题。为研究用户分配问题,本文在具有差异性的竞争双边市场上,建立了两阶段的双边平台竞争模型。第一阶段使用Rubinstein讨价还价模型对卖者的参与人数进行分配,利用讨价还价顺序描述卖者进入的先后顺序;第二阶段分别在平台利润最大化和社会福利最大化两种情况下,刻画买者对平台的规模偏好,并求均衡的市场份额。通过此模型分析竞争性平台差异化的情况下,网络外部性系数对平台均衡市场份额以及市场利益相关者利得的影响。研究表明:在考虑平台利润最大化的情况下,买者参与人数受卖者规模与网络外部性系数的影响,平台规模并非越大越好;在考虑社会福利最大化的情况下,买者的网络外部性系数与买者参与人数不相关,但与总社会福利正相关。

Insensitivity of multiclass systems with general dynamic preemptive resume queueing disciplines

We are concerned with the insensitivity of the stationary distributions of the system states inM/G/s/m queues with multiclass customers and with LIFO preemptive resume service disciplines. We introduce general entrance and exit rules into and from waiting positions, respectively, for the behaviour of waiting customers whose service is interrupted. These rules may, roughly speaking, depend on the number of customers in the system. It is shown that the stationary distribution of the system state is insensitive not only with respect to the service time distributions but also with respect to the general entrance and exit rules. As well as the insensitivity of the service scheme, our results are obtained for a special form of state and customer type dependent arrival and service rates. Some further results are concluded related to insensitivity like the formula for the conditional mean sojourn time and the property of transformation of a Poisson input into a Poisson output by the systems.     

On the complexity of simultaneous price-quantity adjustment processes

While the Walrasian price tâtonnement represents the traditional dynamic process in the general equilibrium context with and without production, Walras and other classics designed the process exclusively for pure exchange economies. In productive economies, the short-run output adjustment of existing firms and the entry/exit of firms should be modeled as well. So-called cross-dual processes which represent the classical approach to the dynamics of productive economies are discussed and extended. Complex motion can emerge in a discrete-time version of the original two-dimensional system when the aggregate demand function has a non-standard shape. A simultaneous process of price and short-run quantity adjustment with free entry and exit of competitive firms in a single market with a continuum of firms can generate closed orbits via a Hopf bifurcation when the slope of the demand function is positive at equilibrium. When the continuum economy is replaced by an economy with a finite number of firms, noisy limit cycles and complicated behavior can be observed.     

Electricity market near-equilibrium under locational marginal pricing and minimum profit conditions

This paper provides a tool to determine the near-equilibrium of an electric energy market. This market works under locational marginal pricing, i.e., generating units and demand loads are paid and pay, respectively, the locational marginal prices corresponding to the nodes they are connected to. The near-equilibrium is defined as the energy transaction levels for which generating companies maximize their respective profits and consumption companies maximize their respective utilities. An independent system operator clears the market maximizing the social welfare. Conditions that ensure minimum profit for generating units can be included. However, these conditions may render a generating unit uncompetitive and expel it from the market. Demands are taken to be non-constant and values are determined as part of the solution. The near-equilibrium is obtained through the solution of a mixed-integer quadratic problem equivalent to a mixed linear complementarity problem that includes the minimum profit conditions. It is important to note that the near-equilibrium concept presented in this paper does not solve a market equilibrium when indivisibilities such as start up costs or the like are present. Lastly, we validate the proposed model on a case study using data from the IEEE Reliability Test System.     

固定投资回报型合同节水管理项目收益分配模型

合同节水管理(WSMC)是一种用节约的水费支付改造成本并获取收益的节水模式,主要涉及用户与节水服务公司两个参与方。本文研究用户无法观测节水服务公司行动条件下固定投资回报型WSMC中的收益分配问题,该模式优先偿还投资,其次分享收益的特征需要激励机制诱使节水服务公司增加节水收益。首先,选取改造成本和节水量作为激励因素,设计用户对节水服务公司的激励合同,并构建节水量产出函数。其次,以用户的期望效用最大化为目标,建立用户对节水服务公司的激励模型并采用逆推法求解模型。再次,对均衡结果进行分析,结果表明:节水服务公司的最优成本分享比例和最优节水量分享比例与风险规避程度、努力成本系数和项目不确定性负相关;此外,最优节水量分享比例与综合能力正相关。最后,通过数值分析探讨分享比例和努力程度随合同参数的变化情况。     

多寡头市场下领先者、追随者和竞争者的市场绩效比较分析

根据"结构-行为-绩效"的SCP分析框架,分析了企业在多寡头产量竞争的Cournot市场结构、多寡头价格竞争的Bertrand市场结构、1个领先者和多个追随者的Stackberg市场结构下,分别采取自主创新、跟踪新产品开发和引进模仿等不同的产品开发战略的市场绩效.结果表明,在同质产品多寡头市场上的产量竞争中,企业采取领先者、竞争者和追随者3种行为的企业均衡产量和企业利润依次递减;多寡头Stackberg市场结构在总产量、消费者剩余和社会福利上表现更佳;多寡头Cournot市场结构在市场价格和行业总利润上更高.在异质产品多寡头市场上的Bertrand价格竞争中,互补品市场的均衡价格和均衡产量相对于替代品都提高;当替代程度较大时,寡头数目较少,同时每个寡头的均衡产量和均衡价格都上升.     

总量控制和交易环境下考虑随机需求的企业决策分析

总量控制和交易(Cap-and-Trade, C&T)给排放企业运营决策带来了新的挑战。本文提出一个非线性优化模型分析C&T环境下的企业最优产量,并在绿色改进和碳权交易之间有效权衡。模型不仅考虑了随机需求和碳价波动,还考虑了绿色改进的边际递减效果和实施绿色生产的风险。理论分析证明了最优解的存在性,并给出了排放企业的最优决策及C&T环境下企业新的生产条件。解析分析表明:与非C&T环境相比,新的最优产量更低,实际排放下降;碳配额虽然影响企业利润和碳权交易量,但不影响最优产量和最优改进投资;碳价和绿色改进系数越大,越有利于促进企业实施绿色改进减少排放;企业利润随绿色改进系数和碳配额的增加而上升,随单位产品碳排放的增加而下降。数值分析验证了理论模型及其分析结果;蒙特卡洛模拟揭示利润波动受需求风险、绿色改进风险和碳价波动的影响,但需求风险对利润波动的影响更为显著。     

产能分享对设备制造商和用户企业的影响研究

本文建立Stackelberg博弈模型比较了传统制造模式与产能分享模式下设备制造商和设备用户企业的利润,发现设备用户企业总是从产能分享模式中受益,但是订单需求增量不同的企业受益大小不同;平台制定的设备租赁价格对设备制造商的利润和设备用户企业的购买决策都将产生影响,对于任意固定价格的设备,平台的制定的最优租赁价格是唯一的,并且平台的最优利润是设备价格的倒U型函数;产能分享业务的出现对设备制造商产生了损益影响,当平台采取最优的定价策略时,价格相对比较高的设备的购买需求增加,设备制造商从产能分享业务中受益,价格相对比较低的设备的购买需求降低,设备制造商在产能分享业务中利益受损。最后通过算例分析对上述结果进行了验证。     

Supply chain networks,electronic commerce,and supply side and demand side risk

In this paper, we develop a supply chain network model in which both physical and electronic transactions are allowed and in which supply side risk as well as demand side risk are included in the formulation. The model consists of three tiers of decision-makers: the manufacturers, the distributors, and the retailers, with the demands associated with the retail outlets being random. We model the optimizing behavior of the various decision-makers, with the manufacturers and the distributors being multicriteria decision-makers and concerned with both profit maximization and risk minimization. We derive the equilibrium conditions and establish the finite-dimensional variational inequality formulation. We provide qualitative properties of the equilibrium pattern in terms of existence and uniqueness results and also establish conditions under which the proposed computational procedure is guaranteed to converge. We illustrate the supply chain network model through several numerical examples for which the equilibrium prices and product shipments are computed. This is the first multitiered supply chain network equilibrium model with electronic commerce and with supply side and demand side risk for which modeling, qualitative analysis, and computational results have been obtained.     

Risk-Based Integration of Strategic and Tactical Capacity Planning

We consider capacity management with a long-term strategic choice, such as the number of production lines to install before demand is known, and short-term tactical decisions relating to production, inventory, and subcontracting (recourse actions made after demand is known). We present an integrated scenario-based mathematical modeling and solution framework. For a single-product environment, we examine properties of total profit as a function of demand and the long-term capacity z. We investigate two measures of risk (profit variance and mean downside risk) and their corresponding profit-risk frontiers. Computational experiments are used to illustrate parameter sensitivity results obtained from the model.     

A Multi-Objective Production Inventory Model with Backorder for Fuzzy Random Demand Under Flexibility and Reliability

In this paper, an Economic Production Quantity (EPQ) model is developed with flexibility and reliability consideration of production process in an imprecise and uncertain mixed environment. The model has incorporated fuzzy random demand, an imprecise production preparation time and shortage. Here, the setup cost and the reliability of the production process along with the backorder replenishment time and production run period are the decision variables. Due to fuzzy-randomness of the demand, expected average demand is a fuzzy quantity and also imprecise preparation time is represented by fuzzy number. Therefore, both are first transformed to a corresponding interval number and then using the interval arithmetic, the single objective function for expected profit over the time cycle is changed to respective multi-objective functions. Due to highly nonlinearity of the expected profit functions it is optimized using a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA). The associated profit maximization problem is illustrated by numerical examples and also its sensitivity analysis is carried out.
