This paper applies a model in which a local market served by high-speed rail (HSR) and an airline is connected with an international market serving two different airlines. Our aim is to assess the necessity for a ban on short-haul flights from an economic policy standpoint and to investigate the potential for market self-regulation to…
Improving the mathematics performance of school children is an objective for many policy makers around the world. It is obvious that mathematics teachers may have a key role to play in this process; however, robust examination of the teacher characteristics and practices of teachers that help to raise pupil mathematics achievement is relatively sparse, particularly…
We study how university economics teaching addresses sustainability. The priority of the topic has been evidenced in publications calling for a critical analysis of university programmes (Bowles, Carlin, 2020; Ansari, Landin, 2023; Prillaman, 2023). We analyse how sustainability is addressed in introductory economics courses for the degrees in Economics, Business Administration, and Law at public…
This paper investigates the implications of airline corporate social responsibility (CSR) uptake in the air transport industry. Then, we extend the analysis considering the impact of parallel airline alliances on CSR of airlines. The results suggest that airports play a crucial role in shaping the CSR practices of airlines and that this impact should be…
Abstract The coordination of actions and the allocation of profit in supply chains under decentralized control play an important role in improving the profits of retailers and suppliers in the supply chain. We focus on supply chains under decentralized control in which noncompeting retailers can order from multiple suppliers to replenish their stocks. The goal…
A lot of research has been dedicated to solving combinatorial optimization problems during past decades, both in the Operations Research field and in Artificial Intelligence. As a result, researchers and/or practitioners are able to choose between a wide range of both exact and approximate techniques when faced with an optimization problem of that type. Nevertheless,…
Las variables de contexto o ambientales suelen desempeñar un papel importante en la mayoría de los procesos productivos, condicionando en gran medida tanto la estimación de los niveles de eficiencia de las unidades evaluadas como posibles factores explicativos de las ineficiencias detectadas en la mayoría de los estudios empíricos. Sin embargo, cuando se analizan los…
The tariff rate quota (TRQ) is a common market access instrument in global agricultural trade that allows a predetermined quantity of a product to be imported at a lower tariff rate than the rate typically applied to that product. In this study, we examine the design and administration of TRQ systems from an operations management…
Abstract In an era when the decision-making process is often based on the analysis of complex and evolving data, it is crucial to have systems which allow us to incorporate human knowledge and provide valuable support to the decision maker. During this talk, statistical modelling and mathematical optimization paradigms merge to address the problems of,…
Abstract Topic: Revisit the extant literature on the growth of Spanish banks in Latin America through the analysis of the processes of IT integration. We explore the technological and management issues around the implementation of global platforms (developed by either third parties or at head office) which replaced, interfaced or co-existed with pre-existing local IT…
