International trade in a model with heterogeneous trade costs, parallel imports and non-homothetic preferences∗
I incorporate heterogeneous trade costs into the model of Foellmi, Hepenstrick, and Zweimüller (2013) to analyze another reason for export zeros, additional to arbitrage constraints resulting from per capita income differences. In my model, high trade costs may be responsible for export zeros. The level of tariffs and transportation costs are crucial for patterns of international trade. I find ...
متن کاملFlexible flow shop scheduling with uniform parallel machines
We consider the multistage flexible flow shop scheduling problem with uniform parallel machines in each stage and the objective of minimizing makespan. We develop a general class of heuristics for this strongly NP-hard problem that extend several well-known heuristics for the corresponding embedded serial flow shop problem, and obtain absolute performance guarantees for heuristics in this class...
متن کاملWholesale Price Discrimination and Parallel Imports
We develop a model of vertical pricing in which an original manufacturer sets wholesale prices in two markets integrated at the distributor level by parallel imports (PI). In this context we show that if competition policy requires uniform wholesale prices across locations it would push retail prices toward convergence as transportation costs fall. However, these retail prices could be higher t...
متن کاملTowards flexible I/O support in parallel and distributed systems
This paper presents an outline for a general I/O subsystem whose main objective is flexibility and customizability. It is based on the concept of frameworks, a technology that has proven to be extremely applicable in the operating systems area. We present our two-step model for application development, which separates the inherent computation of an application from platform specific performance...
متن کاملA fixed and flexible maintenance operations planning optimization in a parallel batch machines manufacturing system
Scheduling has become an attractive area for artificial intelligence researchers. On other hand, in today's real-world manufacturing systems, the importance of an efficient maintenance schedule program cannot be ignored because it plays an important role in the success of manufacturing facilities. A maintenance program may be considered as the heath care of manufacturing machines and equipments...
