Recent Evidence on the Muted Inventory Cycle
Inventories play an important role in business cycles. Inventory build-ups add momentum to the economy during expansions, while inventory liquidations sap economic strength during recessions. In addition, because inventory fluctuations are notoriously difficult to predict, they present considerable uncertainty in assessing the economic outlook. The role of inventories in shaping the current out...
متن کاملUnderstanding the glacial methane cycle
Atmospheric methane (CH4) varied with climate during the Quaternary, rising from a concentration of 375 p.p.b.v. during the last glacial maximum (LGM) 21,000 years ago, to 680 p.p.b.v. at the beginning of the industrial revolution. However, the causes of this increase remain unclear; proposed hypotheses rely on fluctuations in either the magnitude of CH4 sources or CH4 atmospheric lifetime, or ...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Mood-dieting Cycle
This paper develops a behavioral model in food consumption choices that illuminates observed patterns of weight gain and dieting. Particularly it addresses the important role of willpower and mood stability in dieting behavior and hence consumption decisions. Built on previous research of the “dual-process” model (see Jonathan, 2005 and Loewenstein & O’Donoghue, 2005) in which a person’s behavi...
متن کاملThreshold results for the inventory cycle offsetting problem
In a multi-item inventory system, given the order cycle lengths and unit volumes of the items, the determination of the replenishment times (i.e. “cycle offsets”) of items, so as to minimize the resources needed to store the items, is known as the inventory cycle offsetting problem. In this paper we show that so long as the cycle times and inventory unit volumes satisfy certain mild constraints...
متن کاملAn evolutionary approach for the offsetting inventory cycle problem
In inventory management, a fundamental issue is the rational use of required space. Among the numerous techniques adopted, an important role is played by the determination of the replenishment cycle offsetting which minimizes the warehouse space within a considered time horizon. The NP-completeness of the Offsetting Inventory Cycle Problem (OICP) has led the researchers towards the development ...
