Consumer Mobility, Offline and Online Regional Trade: Evidence From High‐Frequency Transaction Data

open access: yesInternational Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The shift from offline to online purchasing is reshaping trade patterns: a weaker effect of distance has been observed in digital transactions. This study analyzes these dynamics at an unprecedented scale and granularity, using interregional gravity models estimated from billions of geolocated French card transactions.

Exact and metaheuristic approaches to minimizing makespan in parallel machine scheduling with conflicting jobs

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract We address the scheduling conflicting jobs on parallel identical machines problem with makespan minimization, a classical and computationally challenging variant of parallel machine scheduling. We develop and evaluate three distinct solution methodologies: a novel constraint programming (CP) formulation, and two metaheuristics: a multi ...
