Learning from Failure: The Myths and Magic of Electronic Transportation Markets
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the past 20 years a variety of electronic markets have been set-up for the allocation of capacities in road transportation. Although, inefficiencies and cost pressures are high, the electronic markets have not succeeded so far. In this paper we will give an overview of the so-called electronic transportation exchanges and analyze the factors that were involved in the repeated failures. By using a multilayer framework which integrates established research approaches for interorganizational systems (IOS) we argue that the failures provide valuable insights for the configuration of electronic commmerce systems in general and in particular for the transportation exchanges that are currently emerging on the Internet.

متن کاملDevelopment of Reinforcement Learning Algorithm to Study the Capacity Withholding in Electricity Energy Markets
This paper addresses the possibility of capacity withholding by energy producers, who seek to increase the market price and their own profits. The energy market is simulated as an iterative game, where each state game corresponds to an hourly energy auction with uniform pricing mechanism. The producers are modeled as agents that interact with their environment through reinforcement learning (RL...
