In multi-item inventory with very large number of items in retail sale stores, purchase dependency in demand amongst the items can be described by association rules mined from sale transaction data. With the knowledge of association rules, inventory replenishment policy can be designed which will result in low inventory cost and better profitability. The relevant inventory costs include the cos...

We propose an equilibrium model to study the impact of short-sale constraints on market prices and liquidity in imperfectly competitive markets where market makers have significant market power and are averse to inventory risk. We show that shortsale constraints decrease bid because of the market power and increase ask because of the risk aversion. Our model can therefore help explain why short...

Metacomputing refers to the coordinated use of a pool of geographically distributed high-performance computers. The EU projects PHASE and MICA, presented in this paper, are settled in the eld of application speciic metacomputing combining high-performance computing expertise and industrial requirements.

This paper argues that the introduction of a short-sale constraint in the ArrowRadner framework invalidates standard definitions of complete and incomplete markets. In this constrained set-up, two threshold values with familiar properties arise. The case of a zero short-sale bound set on some security fulfills the standard definition of “incomplete” financial markets. Beyond a particular level ...

one of the most important dimention of the industrial structure is the concentration. in order to determine concentration in iranian industries from 2000 to 2005, the 5-firm concentration ratio is used in terms of sale value, production, value added and employment variables. the results indicate high correlation among concentration ratios in terms of sale, employment, value added and production...

Conventional credit card transactions are not consistent with Islamic principles, as exemplified by the Islamic banking system and the ‘Murabaha sale’. On the other hand, EMV-compliant IC (Integrated Circuit) cards have been developed to secure traditional Point of Sale (POS) transactions. Thus, if Islamic principles are to be applied to card payments, a new and secure card payment process is r...
