Internalizing of external costs leads la a beller allocation of economic resources, and so to an improvement of welfare. However, if the external effects that can be quantified and monetized are added to the internal costs, the cost relations between different electricity generation systems are not necessarily changed. Of course, the underlying assumptions (like dose-response relationships) are...

A simulation model must be used to evaluate the impact of new operations policies, not only to validate the policies, but also as a tool to convince the decision-makers of the potential advantages in adopting the proposed enhancements in the management. Terminal resource allocation policies and ship loading/unloading policies are obtained by means of Operations Research techniques for the case ...

In this paper, a location allocation (LA) problem in construction and demolition (C&D) waste management (WM) is studied. A bi-level model for this problem under a fuzzy random environment is presented where the upper level is the governments who sets up the processing centers, and the lower level are the administrators of different construction projects who control C&D waste and the after treat...

Different uses of a simulation tool in an intermodal container terminal are presented. Initially, the simulation model of the container terminal of La Spezia (LSCT) in Italy is described. Then it is shown its calibration and validation. The resulting model is used as a tool to validate alternative management policies, such as resource allocation and ship loading and unloading policies. The term...

RÉSUMÉ. Nous considérons ici le problème d’allocation de ressources au sein d’un ensemble d’entités. Les approches centralisées souvent utilisées pour résoudre ce problème nécessitent par exemple que toutes les entités publient leurs préférences, ce qui nuit à la confidentialité de ces données. Alternativement, l’approche décentralisée proposée ici est plus flexible. Cette approche, basée sur d...

We consider a market where consumers mix goods offered by two firms differentiated a la Hotelling, and show how tariff structures affect consumers, profits, and location decisions. As compared to linear pricing, when firms charge two-part tariffs they make higher profits while consumers are worse off. The resulting allocation is not efficient since firms choose extreme locations and too little ...
