Monotone Forecasts

چکیده
In this paper we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the distribution of demand in the future to be stochastically increasing in the demand that has been observed in the past. We base our analysis on the multiperiod inventory model examined by Eppen and Iyer (1997). In the process of establishing the necessary and sufficient conditions we develop a new property called the sequential monotone likelihood ratio property.

Coordination in Supply Chains When Demand Forecasts Are Not Common Knowledge: Theory and Experiment
We study the coordination problem of a two-firm supply chain in which firms simultaneously choose a capacity before demand is realized. We focus on the role that (a lack of) common knowledge of demand forecasts has on firms’ ability to align their capacity decisions. When forecasts are not common knowledge, there are at most two equilibria: a complete coordination failure or a monotone equilibr...
متن کاملAligning Capacity Decisions in Supply Chains When Demand Forecasts Are Private Information: Theory and Experiment
We study the problem of a two-firm supply chain in which firms simultaneously choose a capacity before demand is realized. We focus on the role that private information about demand has on firms’ ability to align their capacity decisions. When forecasts are private information, there are at most two equilibria: a complete coordination failure or a monotone equilibrium in which firms earn positi...

We introduce a new concept of general $G$-$eta$-monotone operator generalizing the general $(H,eta)$-monotone operator cite{arvar2, arvar1}, general $H-$ monotone operator cite{xiahuang} in Banach spaces, and also generalizing $G$-$eta$-monotone operator cite{zhang}, $(A, eta)$-monotone operator cite{verma2}, $A$-monotone operator cite{verma0}, $(H, eta)$-monotone operator cite{fanghuang}...
متن کاملNon Parametric Learnability of Income-Lipschitz Demand Functions
A sequence of prices and demands are rationalizable if there exists a concave, continuous and monotone utility function such that the demands are the maximizers of the utility function over the budget set corresponding to the price. Afriat [1] presented necessary and sufficient conditions for a finite sequence to be rationalizable. Varian [30] and later Blundell et al. [5, 6] continued this lin...
متن کاملSome results on $L$-complete lattices
The paper deals with special types of $L$-ordered sets, $L$-fuzzy complete lattices, and fuzzy directed complete posets.First, a theorem for constructing monotone maps is proved, a characterization for monotone maps on an $L$-fuzzy complete lattice is obtained, and it's proved that if $f$ is a monotone map on an $L$-fuzzy complete lattice $(P;e)$, then the least fixpoint of $f$ is meet of a spe...
