Utility computing models have long been the focus of academic research, and with the recent success of commercial cloud providers, computation and storage is finally being realized as the fifth utility. Computational economies are often proposed as an efficient means of resource allocation, however adoption has been limited due to a lack of performance and high overheads. In this paper, we address...
In some retail contexts, retailers can often stimulate product sales by offering a price discount or allocating more shelf or display space. The retailer's shelf-space and pricing decisions can affect not only the retailer's profitability but also the supplier's profitability. This paper investigates the impact of revenue sharing contracts on the retailer's shelf-space and pricing decisions. Consider...
In this paper, we extend Kliger and Levikson's approach for pricing insurance contracts by considering the influence of level of capital held on the price of insurance contracts, and we discuss determination of optimal capital level for an insurer. The results of our analysis show that the optimal number of insured, the maximum value of expected profit increase, optimal premium (price), and the optimal...
By means of game theory, this paper analyzes the model of benefits allocation of supply chain which consists of a manufacture and a vendor and is dominated by the former. We discuss the preconditions of the model and give a simple and practical allocation method, gaining benefits not only according to contribution but also chain status.
RAROC method is a kind of integrate pricing method based on risk capital and probability default. It summarizes the model of loan pricing and new development and the RAROC method application. It analyses the status quo of our country' s commercial bank loan pricing. It decomposes probability default, loss given default, non-expected loss and risk capital etc, than compute RAROC value directly. Analyzing...
It is well known that retailers can often increase product sales by offering a price discount or allocating more shelf or display space. The retailer's shelf-space and pricing decisions affect not only the retailer's profitability but also the manufacturer's profitability. This research studies how a manufacturer can use revenue sharing contracts to influence the retailer's shelf-space and pricing...
The acquisition of remote IT resources via grid or cloud computing for a certain amount of time, instead of setting up a proprietary IT infrastructure, has attracted much attention during the last years, as technical obstacles are overcome. In order to reduce their maintenance cost of internal IT clusters, many hard- and software providers reconsider to offer these resources in grid and cloud markets...
Due to the unique characteristics of electricity markets, the traditional methods to futures contracts pricing, which have been widely used to common commodity, can not be applied directly. This paper presents a Cournot game model for equilibrium pricing of futures electricity contracts. In the game, each Genco optimizes a generation asset allocation problem between monthly futures contracts and the...
While grid market schedulers have recently received a lot of attention and have been accepted not only in economic but also in purely computer science areas as well, technical grid schedulers are being modified to support advance reservation of resources, too. This prompts questions on how to model grid markets and how to handle grid resource reservation in a reasonable economic fashion. This paper...
