Abstract:

Remanufacturing is an industrial process that makes used products reusable. Remanufacturing is a way to establish a closed-loop supply chain. One of the important aspects in both reverse logistics and remanufacturing is pricing of returned and remanufactured products (called cores) that it has been noticed in this paper. In addition, in this paper the researchers have tried to present a mathematical model that indicates prices and inventories in a closed-loop supply chain in an exclusive market. This model has argued on acquisition price of cores and remanufactured cores. Also, in the following the researchers essay discuss about acquisition price of cores in the competitive market via fuzzy rules. Numerical results demonstrate that appropriate values of the prices are obtained by these models.

a study on rate making and required reserves determination in reinsurance market: a simulation

reinsurance is widely recognized as an important instrument in the capital management of an insurance company as well as its risk management tool. this thesis is intended to determine premium rates for different types of reinsurance policies. also, given the fact that the reinsurance coverage of every company depends upon its reserves, so different types of reserves and the method of their calc...

Supra-Competitive Prices and Market Power in Posted-Offer Experiments

This paper reports the results of a series of posted-offer experiments designed to examine the effects of static market power on prices, when other factors such as excess supply, the number of sellers, and dynamic incentives are held constant. Static market power results in a dramatic price increase in posted-offer triopolies with complete demand information. The effects of market power are not...

Competitive Quality Choice and Remanufacturing

W e consider an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) who faces competition from an independent remanufacturer (IR). The OEM decides the quality of the new product, which also determines the quality of the competing remanufactured product. The OEM and the IR then competitively determine their production quantities. We explicitly characterize how the OEM competes with the IR in equilibrium. Spec...

Existence of Competitive Equilibrium with a system of Complete Prices

In classical equilibrium analysis it is assumed that consumers may purchase a given amount of good in any fraction he (she) wishes from any of a xed number of rms. Sometimes, as with ski-lifts, at any one time it is only possible for consumers to purchase from one rm. An equilibrium price system is a complete price system. In this paper, a complete price system is a system of prices that varies...
