An Economic Order Quantity Stochastic Dynamic Optimization Model in a Logistic 4.0 Environment [PDF]
This paper proposes a stock dynamic sizing optimization under the Logistic 4.0 environment. The safety stock is conceived to fill up the demand variability, providing continuous stock availability. Logistic 4.0 and the smart factory topics are considered.

The Economic Recovery Act of 1981 led to the largest postwar decline in effective tax rates on capital. The legislation also had its most significant effect on rates in 1982 due to the rapid decline in inflation. Although some of the tax cut was rescinded in 1982, effective corporate tax rates on plant and equipment, measured as the difference between ...

Determining Optimal Levels of Nitrogen Fertilizer Using Random Parameter Models [PDF]
The parameters of yield response functions can vary by year. Past studies usually assume yield functions are nstochastic ‘‘limited’’ stochastic. In this study, we estimate rye– ryegrass yield functions in which all parameters are random.

Considerations on the stochastic approach in economics
This paper presents several views on stochastic aspects in economic modeling. The authors analyzed the necessity of stochastic approach in economics, they described the specificity of stochastic models in this field and they presented the premises of ...
