International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract In this paper, we address the problem of routing a fleet of electric vehicles (EVs) to serve a set of customers, geographically distributed, within their time windows. We assume that EVs may also be recharged en route, and the amount of energy recharged at a recharging station (RS) is a decision variable itself, that is, partial recharges are ...

An iterated greedy‐based metaheuristic with local search for the rank pricing problem
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract The rank pricing problem involves determining optimal prices for a set of products while accounting for customers' budgets and preferences. This study develops an iterated greedy‐based metaheuristic to efficiently solve this problem. The core idea is to generate a sequence of solutions by iteratively applying destruction and reconstruction ...

A spectral analysis extension to DEMATEL for strategic leverage points identification
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract Efforts to intervene in complex systems often emphasize influential factors, yet system behavior is equally shaped by the relationships among them. Methods such as Decision‐Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) map causal structures but remain descriptive and do not identify which relationships provide the greatest leverage for ...

Semantic Non-Negative Matrix Factorization for Term Extraction
Big Data and Cognitive ComputingThis study introduces an unsupervised term extraction approach that combines non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) with word embeddings. Inspired by a pioneering semantic NMF method that employs regularization to jointly optimize document–word and word–

Product Positioning and Incentives to Innovate
Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper shows that product positioning affects the incentives to invest in process innovation. The result is found using a model of price competition with three firms under horizontal product differentiation—and then extended to a more general Bertrand triopoly.

Monetary Policy and Wealth Effects: The Role of Risk and Heterogeneity
The Journal of Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study the role of asset revaluation in the monetary transmission mechanism. We build an analytical heterogeneous‐agents model with two main ingredients: (i) rare disasters and (ii) heterogeneous beliefs. The model captures time‐varying risk premia and precautionary savings in a setting that nests the textbook New Keynesian model.
