We study a dynamic model of coordination with timing frictions and payoff heterogeneity. There is a unique equilibrium, characterized by thresholds that determine the choices of each type of agent. We characterize equilibrium ...

Background: Cancer cells evolve and constitute heterogeneous populations that fluctuate in space and time and are subjected to selection generating intratumor heterogeneity. This phenomenon is determined by the acquisition ...

In this paper, we consider a real-life heterogeneous fleet vehicle routing problem with time windows and split deliveries that occurs in a major Brazilian retail group. A single depot attends 519 stores of the group ...

In this work was investigated the catalytic potential of a new heterogeneous catalyst of stoichiometry Ca0.5K0.5TiCu0.25O3, with double perovskite structure, in the preparation of biodiesel via ethylic route. The catalyst ...

In times of rethinking production processes and consumption habits to minimize the effects of global warming, it is crucial to find alternatives that lead to replacing fossil fuels by renewable materials. The development ...

This article develops a double selection model in order to test whether part-time workers are excluded from full time jobs (underemployed) or choose to put themselves into distinct labour market segments. Results show ...

Commercially pure grade 2 titanium in sheet form was processed by equal channel angular sheet extrusion (ECASE) up to two passes at room temperature. The ECASE process generated a heterogeneous state of deformation, mainly ...

The main objective of this paper is to measure the welfare costs related to permanent and transitory shocks for heterogeneous consumers. We use data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CEX) and compute the average ...
