Journal Article
ANSARIPOOR, A.H. and OLIVEIRA, F.S. 2018. Flexible lease contracts in the fleet replacement problem with alternative fuel vehicles: a real-options approach. European journal of operational research [online], 266(1), pages 316-327. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejor.2017.09.010

We study the use of flexible lease contacts in the fleet portfolio management problem of a firm that aims to minimize its cost and risk (Recursive Expected Conditional Value at Risk), simultaneously, in a stochastic multi-period setting by deciding w...

Strategic procurement in spot and forward markets considering regulation and capacity constraints. (2017)
Journal Article
OLIVEIRA, F.S. 2017. Strategic procurement in spot and forward markets considering regulation and capacity constraints. European journal of operational research [online], 261(2), pages 540-548. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejor.2017.01.052

With the generalization of business-to-business electronic exchanges, online spot markets have become an important component of suppliers' procurement strategies in their aim to increase flexibility and reduce transaction costs. In this article we an... Read More about Strategic procurement in spot and forward markets considering regulation and capacity constraints..
