Technological improvements affect these costs in different ways, which leads to different duration of sequential replacement cycles of the same asset. Therefore, a firm should optimize a chain of consecutive asset replacements using available information about future costs. We offer a novel multi-cycle algorithm for making such replacement decisions and prove that it converges to the infinite-horizon solution when the number of cycles increases. Important qualitative properties of the obtained optimal non-equal-life replacement strategies are derived, and practical recommendations are discussed.","PeriodicalId":49210,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Economist","volume":"65 1","pages":"339 - 362"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0013791x.2020.1716126","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42804989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the deregulation of electricity markets, TEP projects currently face multiple uncertainties. These uncertainties often cause traditional project valuation methods to recommend sub-optimal investment decisions. Additionally, to incorporate the effects of uncertainties on the valuation of TEP projects, current literature rely on some critical simplifications that do not fit well with the real operations of a power market. This paper models the power market in a realistic way by combining an equilibrium model, to assess the power market equilibrium that the TEP project will generate, with a valuation model based on real options, to incorporate the value of flexibility. The methodology is applied to determine the value of adding capacity expansion flexibility to a portion of the rigid TEP project that connects the main two interconnected systems in Chile since 2018. Our results show that, in this case, adding flexibility increases the net expected social welfare by $14.03 million. Several sensitivity analyses confirm that this flexibility has more value when uncertainty is higher and/or investment costs are lower.","PeriodicalId":49210,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Economist","volume":"65 1","pages":"288 - 320"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0013791x.2020.1712509","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47889315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this research is to provide a solution for incorporating industry-based selected soft data in the project ranking process. The process is illustrated with a case study.

Several interrelated decision problems such as order acceptance/rejection, short-term capacity planning, due date assignment, and order scheduling need to be studied simultaneously in order to manage revenues effectively in MTO manufacturing systems. Both the producer’s and customer’s requirements need to be taken into account through some negotiation mechanisms that are sensitive to the service-level reputation of the manufacturing companies. In this article, we propose a new dynamic bid price–based revenue management model that considers all of the aforementioned decision problems simultaneously. A simulation optimization approach is utilized in order to determine the best possible values of control parameters for bid price, due date assignment, and price increment/reduction mechanisms. The performance of the proposed integrated revenue management model is tested on both a hypothetical example and a real problem of a bridal gown company. The computational results show that the proposed model provides significant improvements in total revenue compared to other static and dynamic bid price policies.","PeriodicalId":49210,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Economist","volume":"65 1","pages":"27 - 65"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0013791X.2019.1571145","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41596535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A government-subsidized PPI project comprises three financing sources: government subsidy, equity, and debt. For government-subsidized PPI projects, the government subsidy level must be determined before the optimal debt ratio can be determined. A government subsidy level that is too low may lead to the project being non-bankable for financial institutes and a level that is too high may result in high excess returns for project investors. This paper develops cooperative game models, which are multiple–variable game models, to determine optimal solutions for four major decision variables – the government subsidy, tariff, debt ratio, and interest rate for project negotiation for PPI projects. This three–party game model is developed to identify terms and conditions that optimize the total benefits of financially non-viable PPI projects, which can lead to successful PPI project negotiations. The Kaohsiung cable car project in Taiwan is used for demonstration purposes. The results of the analysis show that optimal solutions for the three financing sources - government subsidy, equity, and debt - can be determined by the models.","PeriodicalId":49210,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Economist","volume":"65 1","pages":"321 - 338"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2019-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0013791x.2019.1707923","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41501197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the framework of the approach, we calculate the expected value of the rate of return. We extend the deterministic Endpoints and Modified Dietz rate of return models by viewing the investments transaction timings as random variables. Our main working assumption is that the transaction timings are uniformly distributed in a certain time interval. We study a series of new rate of return models that have a wide range of practical applications. Our results generalize some well-known rate of return formulas, including the renowned Modified Dietz formula. The models introduced in this paper provide one-period rates of return compliant with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) requirements. They can be used for GIPS-compliant calculations.","PeriodicalId":49210,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Economist","volume":"65 1","pages":"363 - 380"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2019-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0013791x.2019.1680784","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47893881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
