Multiproduct firms and outward foreign direct investment
This paper investigates the relationship between internationalisation of firms and the firm's domestic product scope. The investigation is applied to Indian firms. Thus, the insights of a new dataset is added to the growing (but still infant) literature in this field. Indian firms that invest …

Operational decisions and learning for multiproduct retail
We study multi-product revenue management problems, focusing on the role of uncertainty in both the seller and the customer decision processes. We begin by considering a logit model framework for personalized revenue management problems where utilities are functions of customer attributes, so that …

Multiproduct Pricing Management and Design of New Service Products
In this thesis, we study price optimization and competition of multiple differentiated substitutable products under the general Nested Logit model and also consider the designing and pricing of new service products, e.g., flexible warranty and refundable warranty, under customers' strategic claim …

Multiple interactive competition among multiproduct firms: Theoretical and empirical analysis
This research attempts to observe competitive behaviors in a multiple reaction-multimarket setting. Competition is treated as the game of exerting price and product decision variables in several markets. The products sold in the markets are partial substitutes for each other. The interaction …

Diversification and Economies of Scope: A Theory of the Multiproduct Firm
Recent theoretical studies of multiproduct firms discuss such firms from the viewpoint that they already exist. One topic that is missing from the theory of multiproduct firms is how they came into being. This dissertation puts forth a theory of diversification which seeks to explain how …

Conglomerate Mergers and the Pursuit of Economies of Scope (Multiproduct, Q Ratio, Capm, Risk)
… break even. This dissertation integrates the multiproduct theory of Baumol, Panzar, and Willig with the CAPM to build a theory of conglomerate mergers consistent with the neo-classical profit-maximizing axioms. The relationships among product market, capital market, and the market for …

Multiproduct Nonconstant and Time -Varying Hedge Ratio Estimation by Locally Polynomial Kernel Applied to the Hog Complex
Multiproduct hedge ratios generated by locally polynomial kernel are recommended to use when the futures market is utilized to manage price risks because they are found to take account of more information inflow on prices than GARCH-type models. Estimated hedge ratios using past information might …

Economies of scale and scope in multiproduct industries : a case study of the regulated U.S. trucking industry
Thesis (Ph.D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1982.

A performance analysis of model based inventory policies for procurement of direct material items
… effectiveness of the lot size model for use in a multiproduct MRP production system having a specific product structure. Measures of effectiveness with respect to cost categories including shortage frequency, material costs and holding costs will be obtained based on a range of demand patterns and …

Cost synergies in the commercial banking industry: An econometric examination
… in the production of banking services. Using the multiproduct cost economies approach, the existence of overall and product-specific economies of scope and scale were investigated. The major model contains three equations--a cost function and two share equations. A generalized translogarithmic …

Efficient Bundling and Unbundling of Hospital Services: An Examination of Scale and Scope Economies in the Hospital Industry
… involves the estimation of three separate multiproduct cost functions (the translog, the hybrid translog, and the CES translog) as measured over eight output groups defined by the DRG classification scheme. The results support the unbundling of such services as diseases and disorders of the …

Product Differentiation, Collusion, and Empirical Analyses of Market Power
… throughout the literature. In Chapter 3, a multiproduct oligopoly model admitting product differentiation and a discrete choice demand model are proposed and estimated to determine if patterns of anti-competitiveness exist across distinct segments of the European car market. This chapter …

Essays on Networks and Industrial Organization
… --- We study how demand interactions incentivize multiproduct oligopolists to reduce their variable production costs. Our starting point is an equivalence between multimarket competition over dependent products and single-market competition over independent bundles from which we derive three …

Comparison of Scheduling Algorithms for a Multi-Product Batch-Chemical Plant with a Generalized Serial Network
Despite recent advances in computer power and the development of better algorithms, theoretical scheduling methodologies developed for batch-chemical production are seldom applied in industry (Musier & Evans 1989 and Grossmann et al. 1992). Scheduling decisions may have significant impact on …
