Domestic Monopoly, Quotas & Contestable Rents, William Rieber Sep 1993

Domestic Monopoly, Quotas & Contestable Rents, William Rieber

William Rieber

In this article, a specific example is given to illustrate that rent seeking can raise welfare under full seeking in general equilibrium: an import quota is levied in the presence of domestic monopoly in the import competing industry. An import quota is considered instead of an import tariff since a tariff confers no market power on the local monopolist.

The Relative Significance Of Forecast Errors In Multistage Manufacturing, L. Ritzman, Barry King Dec 1992

The Relative Significance Of Forecast Errors In Multistage Manufacturing, L. Ritzman, Barry King

Barry E. King

It is intuitive that controlling forecast errors should result in better customer service and lower inventories. But forecast errors come from various sources. Multistage manufacturing experiences supply and lead-time uncertainties as well as demand uncertainties, and manufacturing has more than one lever to pull when addressing these uncertainties. The relationship of forecast errors to manufacturing performance is not clear. Furthermore, the pursuit of forecast accuracy may not be the best use of managerial resources. In this study, using a many-factored manufacturing simulation, we examine two components of forecast errors, the mix of special and standard products, lot-sizing, and buffering policies …
