The cyclical behavior of mark ups in U.S. manufacturing and trade: new empirical evidence based on a model of optimal storage
نویسنده
چکیده
An Euler condition for optimal inventory accumulation is used to obtain information on the behavior of mark ups of price over marginal cost in U.S. manufacturing and trade. Data at the two-digit SIC level are used. Mark ups appear to be procyclical in most of the two-digit SIC sectors. 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.

Although initially originated as a totally empirical relationship to explain the volume of trade between two partners, gravity equation has been the focus of several theoretic models that try to explain it. Specialization models are of great importance in providing a solid theoretic ground for gravity equation in bilateral trade. Some research papers try to improve specialization models by addi...
متن کاملAn EOQ model for non-instantaneous deteriorating items with two levels of storage under trade credit policy
A deterministic inventory model with two levels of storage (own warehouse and rented warehouse) with non-instantaneous deteriorating items is studied. The supplier offers the retailer a trade credit period to settle the amount. Different scenarios based on the deterioration and the trade credit period have been considered. In this article, we have framed two models considering single warehouse ...
