We consider a firm which sells a product with a limited inventory over a finite sales horizon. In addition to the inventory level and time, the firm also sets its prices based on customer signals, which are quantified scores of relevant information about the customers and are correlated with customers’ reservation prices. We investigate the properties of “ideal” customer signals, i.e., signals ...

This paper proposes a method of distinguishing between the effect of anticipated and unanticipated changes in oil prices and oil inventories on the US gasoline prices. I show that gasoline price adjustments are faster and stronger for anticipated changes in oil prices and inventory levels than for unanticipated changes. The dynamics of the gasoline price response depends on the relative importa...

In this study we present and compare four different approaches to inventory management in supply chains: the decomposition approach, where each company optimizes its own production and inventories without considering how this affects its partners’ situation; the integrated approach, which assumes complete trust between the partners who minimize the total production and logistic cost throughout ...

Research in science education has documented achievement gaps between men and women in math and physics that may reflect, in part, a response to perceived stereotype threat. Research efforts to reduce achievement gaps by mediating the impact of stereotype threat have found success with a short values-affirmation writing exercise. In biology and biochemistry, however, little attention has been p...

BACKGROUND Monitoring and managing carbon stocks in forested ecosystems requires accurate and repeatable quantification of the spatial distribution of wood volume at landscape to regional scales. Grid-based forest inventory networks have provided valuable records of forest structure and dynamics at individual plot scales, but in isolation they may not represent the carbon dynamics of heterogene...

Activity concentrations, inventories and activity ratios of (137)Cs, (238)Pu, (239 + 240)Pu and (241)Am in soil profiles were surveyed in the dry tundra and the adjoining proglacial zones of glaciers at a High Arctic site on Svalbard. Vertical profiles of radionuclide activities were determined in up to 14-cm-thick soil sequences. Additionally, soil properties (pH, organic matter, texture, mine...

Personality inventories are common in employment practice but the Enneagram offers nurses a way to see how they can grow and also get the best out of their colleagues.
