The Impact of Government Policy on Food Pricing Using Game Theory

In this research, a model based on the theory of competitive games using Nash equilibrium and in the presence of a retailer for the purpose of food pricing was presented in terms of state competition and policy. Considering the effects of government competition and policy on the issue, we are trying to make a model more in line with real-world conditions and used by managers and practitioners in the food industry. Ultimately, the sensitivity analysis plant production costs were taken and the effect of changes in parameters on the variables of the research was measured.

Investigating the Impact of Multiple Competition on Producer Pricing in the Food Industry

Pricing is one of the most important and strategic decisions in the supply chain and can be called as one of the leading management arts. Pricing can have a huge impact on the sale of goods or services. One of the product pricing branches is the pricing of food products, which is of particular importance due to the particular circumstances of this market. Food products have a significant sensitivity due to the nature of corruption, the highly competitive nature of the industry, and the direct relationship with different consumer groups with different levels of income.In this study, two producers and two retailers were considered, one of these producers having a monopolistic market and the other having a multi-competitive market. The producer who has a monopolistic market only sends products to his retailer and the manufacturer with multiple competitive send goods to both retailers. In addition, the two scenarios are defined in a way that the first scenario is without green service and the second scenario applied green service. The first manufacturer only has the market of the first retailer and second-manufacturer hasboth the first and second-party retailers. Then the model was solved for different strategies and optimal strategies for each side of the chain were identified. Finally, numerical issues were presented, solved and analyzed in different dimensions. Keywords: pricing, food products, competition, government policy, game theory.

Some structure theorems on locally convex cones of linear operators

In this paper we investigate the structure of C(P,Q) (the cone of all continuous linear operators from locally convex cone (P,U) into locally convex cone (Q,W), when (P,U) or (Q,W) are inductive or projective limit locally convex cones. We consider some special convex quasiuniform structures on C(P,Q), and prove some structure theorems

Bornological Locally Convex Cones

In this paper we define bornological and b-bornological cones and investigate their properties. We give some characterization for these cones. In the special case of locally convex topological vector space both these concepts reduce to the known concept  of bornological spaces. We introduce and investigate the  convex quasiuniform   structures U_{tau}, U_{sigma}(P,P*) and \U_{beta}(P,P*) on locally convex cone (P,U)

Atomic and nonatomic Operator-Valued Measures in Locally Convex Cones

The operator valued measures and integrals for cone-valued functions have been investigated in [W. Roth, Operator-valued measures and integrals for cone-valued functions, Lecture Notes in Mathematics, vol. 1964, 2009, Springer Verlag, Heidelberg-Berlin-New York].  In this paper, we define atomic and nonatomic operator valued measures in locally convex cones and investigate their properties. We prove that every operator valued measure can be written as the sum of an atomic  and a nonatomic measures

Some notes on bornological and nonbornological locally convex cones

Bornological and b-bornological locally convex cones have studied in [D. Ayaseh and A. Ranjbari, Bornological Locally Convex Cones, Le Matematiche, Vol. LXIX (2014) Fasc. II, pp. 267-284]. In this paper, we obtain new results on bornological locally convex cones and present an example of nonbornological locally convex cone. We show that the projectivelimit of bornological cones is not bornological in general. Also, we present a bornological locally convex cone which is not b-bornological

An Assessment of the Impact of Reducing Implicit and Explicit Energy Subsidies in Iran; Using a Computable General Equilibrium Model Based on a Modified Micro Consistent Matrix

This paper identifies two types of implicit and explicit energy subsidies in Iran. Using a computable general equilibrium model, we analyze the impacts of reducing implicit and explicit energy subsidies. The model is based on a Modified Micro Consistent Matrix of MOE (the Ministry of Energy) which includes implicit subsidies. The model consists of 36 commodity groups and 18 economic activities. Our findings suggest that overall economic activity and consumer welfare will be reduced following the reduction of energy subsidies. Energy exports would increase and nonenergy exports decline. Economic activity will decline across all sectors except for upstream energy activities. Domestic energy demand by households and producers would decline as well
