Forecasting sales of slow and fast moving inventories
Traditional computerised inventory control systems usually rely on exponential smoothing to forecast the demand for fast moving inventories. Practices in relation to slow moving inventories are more varied, but the Croston method is often used. It is an adaptation of exponential smoothing that 1) incorporates a Bernoulli process to capture the sporadic nature of demand and 2) allows the average...
متن کاملSlow Moving Capital
Unlike textbook arbitrageurs who instantaneously trade when prices deviate from fundamental values, real world arbitrageurs must overcome various frictions. For example, they often invest other people’s money, resulting in a principal/agent problem that is exacerbated in market downturns. Rather than increasing investment levels when prices dip below fundamental values, arbitrageurs may, in the...
متن کاملHand preference in fast-moving versus slow-moving actions in capuchin, Sapajus spp., and squirrel monkeys, Saimiri sciureus
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2014.09.008 0003-3472/© 2014 The Association for the Study of A Among the many hand preference studies on nonhuman primates, several have demonstrated the effect of diverse action demands on the direction and magnitude of hand preference. However, few studies have assessed hand preference in the natural repertoire of motor behaviours in nonhuman primates, esp...
متن کاملAdverse Selection, Slow Moving Capital and Misallocation∗
Adverse selection is commonly used to explain trade inefficiencies in many markets. In this paper, we embed an informational asymmetry into a decentralized economy with heterogeneous capital and study its implications for aggregate dynamics in a general equilibrium environment. We show that the information friction leads to slow moving capital and persistent misallocation of resources. The mode...
