However, overseas production comes with yield uncertainty. This study examines optimal environmental regulations and firms’ responses under three production scenarios. The government’s objective is to maximize social welfare by selecting the type and intensity of regulatory instruments, while firms seek to optimize profits by adjusting their optimal production quantities. Our analysis finds that price and quantity regulation instruments have similar impacts on social welfare, but firms prefer quantity instruments despite price instruments being more beneficial for consumers. Furthermore, both pollution damage coefficient and yield uncertainty are important factors affecting social welfare and firms’ location choice and there exist win–win situations that benefit the government, firms, and consumers. Additionally, offshoring tends to be more environmentally friendly to the local environment. To further validate the main model, we examine various extensions. Results show that the hybrid instrument does not significantly enhance social welfare, but it does offer flexibility in adjusting firms’ production transfer motivations. Additionally, factors such as positive production and fixed costs, as well as multi-market issues, do not alter the government’s preference for regulatory instruments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8215,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Operations Research","volume":"344 1","pages":"413 - 456"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142913067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has led to the emergence of stakeholder-based multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) frameworks. However, traditional MCGDM frequently overlooks the interactions and trade-offs among different actors and criteria. The Multi-actor Multi-criteria Analysis (MAMCA), developed in 2000, provides a transparent decision-making process explicitly considering these interrelationships. It allows diverse stakeholder groups to represent their priorities, thereby enhancing their understanding of their own and others’ positions. Over the past two decades, MAMCA has seen a significant rise in popularity and has been widely applied in diverse contexts, proving valuable as both a decision-making and stakeholder engagement tool. However, our analysis of publications on cases in which MAMCA was applied over the years shows that considerable variation exists in the overall process approach, contingent upon the specific goals and context. To address these variations, this paper proposes a modularized MAMCA structure, complemented by systematic application guidelines, to aid future users in navigating the process steps and identifying the most suitable methods for each step. Additionally, future research directions are suggested for potential enhancements to the MAMCA framework by integrating varied methodologies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8215,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Operations Research","volume":"343 1","pages":"313 - 348"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10479-024-06357-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142789277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But, for unknown reasons, his substantial contributions to utility theory are less well-known. Daniel Bernoulli is widely renowned for explaining the Saint Petersburg paradox. Most people recognize Adam Smith as being the father of capitalism. Some people are aware that Carl Menger (1840–1921) was one of the first to discuss (in German) diminishing marginal utility. Jules Dupuit (1804–1866) distinguished between total utility and marginal utility and, in the process, he went on to discover the consumers’ surplus. Although it is not widely recognized, Herman Heinrich Gossen (1810–1858) was the first economists to explain that the fundamental principle of marginal utility theory is that a person maximizes his utility when he distributes his available money among the various goods so that he obtains the same amount of satisfaction from the last unit of money spent on each different commodity. After explaining the Saint Petersburg paradox earlier in his career comma, Daniel Bernoulli later brought many utility suggestions together into one tidy package, and even went on to suggest that decision-maker’s decisions can probably be best represented by the logarithmic utility function. Each one of the previous contributions to utility theory constitutes a significant improvement in the previous theory. But in 1952 Harry Markowitz published several suggestions that each represented a significant advancement to the existing utility theory. The value of Markowitz’s suggestions was acknowledged in 1979 and 1992 by two psychologists named Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky when they introduced their prospect theory. These co-authors list and discuss several of Markowitz’s contributions to expected utility theory in their 1979 prospect theory paper.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8215,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Operations Research","volume":"346 1","pages":"113 - 125"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143638241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prior studies suggest that adopting blockchain technology can enhance supply chain visibility, thus facilitating access to supply chain finance (SCF). In this study, we compare the traditional SCF mode with the blockchain-enabled SCF mode within the framework of a dual-channel closed-loop supply chain (CLSC). Our analysis incorporates both prepayment financing and accounts receivable financing or purchase order financing into the analytical model. Our main findings are as follows. Firstly, adopting blockchain technology leads to a reduction in the interest rate, enabling the manufacturer and the retailer to raise their buy-back prices. This increase in buy-back prices subsequently encourages greater recycling of used products. Secondly, in a context marked by high cross-price elasticity, we observe abrupt pricing fluctuations in both online and offline sales channels. However, adopting blockchain technology can effectively mitigates these fluctuations, thus ensuring the sustained stability of demand in both sales channels. Thirdly, in the blockchain-enabled mode, equilibrium wholesale price, offline sales price, manufacturer’s buy-back price, and retailer’s buy-back price are higher compared to those in the traditional mode. Conversely, the equilibrium direct sales price is lower in the blockchain-enabled mode than in the traditional mode. Fourthly, changes in interest rates and cross-price elasticity have analogous impacts on pricing dynamics in both the traditional and blockchain-enabled modes. Fifthly, adopting blockchain technology leads to an all-win outcome for participants in SCF arrangements only when the benefits of blockchain-enabled traceability and reduced interest rates outweigh the costs associated with hosting and access.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8215,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Operations Research","volume":"343 1","pages":"87 - 124"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142789387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
