A service collaboration decision problem in a dual-channel supply chain is studied with the service level and the customer’s acceptance of the Internet channel is taken into consideration. Then the Stackelberg decentralized decision model and the centralized decision model are developed for two settings that the retailer provides the same service level in both channels or not. The conclusion implies that the system profits, the manufacturer’s optimal profit and retailer’s optimal profit are always higher when different services are provided than the same service, and the optimal service level for the direct channel is a little lower than that for the traditional channel under decentralized mode.

Does Immigration Promote the Investment of the Monopolistic Firm?

In the present paper, we examine the effect of increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth on the optimal timing of investment of a firm that has a monopolistic power over the labor market. It is revealed that when the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is more than a threshold level, increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth accelerates the optimal timing of firms’ investment and enhances the economic growth, even if the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is formulated by the geometric Brownian motion, which is in sharp contrast to the standard result that an increase in the uncertainty postpones the optimal timing. With an increase in the immigrants over the past ten years, workforces in the host countries have been growing significantly to the extent that the immigrants represent 70% of the increase in the workforce in Europe, and 47% in the United States as OECD indicates. In the present paper, we attempted to investigate the effect of increased uncertainty caused by the growi...
