Asymmetric sanctions and corruption: Theory and practice in China
Economic Inquiry, EarlyView.Abstract Asymmetric punishment of partners in crime, intended to incentivize whistle‐blowing, may increase detection and deterrence. The idea is age‐old but its use against corruption is not frequent. We study a 1997 Chinese reform that strengthened such asymmetries for some forms of bribery.

Pairwise Imitation and Tournament Graphs
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates strategic dynamics under the behavioral rule of pairwise interact and imitate (PII), which requires minimal information and emphasizes outperforming opponents in pairwise interactions. We characterize PII using weak tournament graphs and, for a broad class of dynamics, establish a one‐shot stability result for ...

Multi‐period optimal bidding strategy with energy storage
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract We consider a setting where a wind power producer (WPP) bids in a multi‐period ahead electricity market. The new elements we take into account are (i) the integration of electricity storage devices, (ii) the extension from single‐period to multi‐period optimal bidding, (iii) the implementation of a short‐sighted strategy versus a far‐sighted ...

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract In response to the increasing complexity of modern products, dynamic markets, and intensified competition, project‐based organizations are actively seeking methodologies to efficiently manage their expanding project portfolios. This paper analyzes the project portfolio selection problem in uncertain environments. Despite recent advances in the

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract Despite increasing demands for resilient and sustainable supply chains, inventory management often relies on outdated single‐criterion analyses. While multi‐criteria ABC (MCABC) analyses provide a theoretically mature assessment of resilience‐sustainability‐benefit trade‐offs in inventory, their adoption remains limited due to fragmented ...

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 ...

Vessel arrival planning with full information
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract Planning efficiency and timely arrival of vessels is crucial to smooth operations of maritime transport networks, ensuring optimal utilization of resources and minimizing operational costs. Coordination between vessel operators and terminals has the potential to reduce costs, fuel consumption, and waiting time.

Multi‐objective maritime vessel routing with safety considerations
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract The routing of maritime vessels is a challenging optimization problem that involves finding an adequate balance between conflicting and multiple objectives. This paper proposes a methodology based on inverse optimization to find appropriate objective weights that account for conflicting objectives. To formulate the inverse optimization problem,
