Wireless network capacity management: A real options approach

This paper applies financial option valuation methods to new wireless network capacity investment decision timing. In particular, we consider the case of network capacity for cellular telephone service. Given a cluster of base stations (with a certain traffic capacity per base station), we determine when it is optimal to increase capacity for each of the base stations contained in the cluster. We express this in terms of the fraction of total cluster capacity in use, i.e. we calculate the optimal time to upgrade in terms of the ratio of observed usage to existing capacity. We study the optimal decision problem of adding new capacity in the presence of stochastic wireless demand for services. A four factor algorithm is developed, based on a real options formulation. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate various aspects of the model.     

广告分担、价格折扣与供应链的纵向合作广告

研究了生产商和零售商的纵向合作广告问题。分别在广告分担和价格折扣策略下，探讨了双方的均衡结果和利润。当生产商的边际利润较小时，生产商的最优决策是不采取任何一种策略。当生产商的边际利润达到一定范围时，广告分担策略是双方共同的最优选择。而无论在什么样的条件内，价格折扣策略都不会使双方同时满意。为了增加双方的收益，供应链成员应该在广告上集成决策。最后给出了系统集成的可行最优解的范围和Nash讨价还价解。     

收入管理的MMV动态拍卖机制研究

随着互联网上交易的增多,多单位同质产品销售的拍卖机制成为了一个新的研究方向.针对易逝性服务产品的收入管理问题,提出将产品销售分为多个拍卖期的MMV(Multi-period and Multi-unit Vickrey(Auction with Reserve Pricing)动态拍卖机制,给出每期最优拍卖单位数和保留价格的确定方法,证明了最优拍卖单位数分别关于剩余存量和销售时间单增的性质,以及保留价格关于剩余存量的单降性.最后证明MMV机制的每期实际成交价格将高于Vulcano(2002)提出的MSP(Modified Second-Price)机制,根据易逝性服务产品的需求特点得到MMV机制优于MSP机制的结论.     

Demand sensitivity to space-price competition with Manhattan and Euclidean representations of distance

This paper provides extensive evidence from a simulation model supporting our claim that it is not appropriate to use the Euclidean metric in a competitive system where the Manhattan metric would provide a more accurate representation of distances. The Euclidean metric has the property of biasing firms' demands by a distortion of their sensitivity to competitive strategies and, therefore, generates an excessive level of competition.

Effects of a Degeneracy in the Competition Model: Part II. Perturbation and Dynamical Behaviour

This is the second part of our study on the competition model where the coefficient functions are strictly positive over the underlying spatial region Ω except b(x), which vanishes in a nontrivial subdomain of Ω, and is positive in the rest of Ω. In part I, we mainly discussed the existence of two kinds of steady-state solutions of this system, namely, the classical steady-states and the generalized steady-states. Here we use these solutions to determine the dynamics of the model. We do this with the help of the perturbed model where b(x) is replaced by b(x)+ε, which itself is a classical competition model. This approach also reveals the interesting relationship between the steady-state solutions (both classical and generalized) of the above system and that of the perturbed system.     

中小企业的发展策略

分析中小企业的发展过程可以发现其许多存在已久的弊病，它们已成为阻碍企业继续发展的重要因素。在加入WTO后，一些保护性政策将逐渐取消，国内中小企业原有的许多优势将与国外竞争对手所共有，原先不被重视的知识产权等问题的重要性却在逐步增加，所有这一切都要求中小企业必须要有新的思想和发展策略来应对即将到来的新的竞争。     

寡头竞争中的价格空间歧视研究

本先建立空间连续的价格歧视模型，得出竞争厂商进行价格空间歧视将得到更大利润占有更多的消费剩余。接着讨论了空间连续的价格歧视模型的局限性，为了增强可操作性提出价格空间歧视离散化。得出在空间差异竞争市场中，市场细分将增加竞争厂商的利润，同时得出竞争厂商价格空间歧视最大化均衡利润的条件。
