Contribution of aggregate and sectoral shocks to the dynamics of inventories: an empirical study with French and American data

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to examine structural shocks that influence the dynamics of sectoral inventories. The forecasting error variance decomposition was analyzed using the American and French time series of aggregate production, sectoral production and sectoral inventories. Results indicated that sectoral inventories are affected in the short term by the idiosyncratic demand shock. In the long run, they are influenced by the supply shock.

Inventories cycle in an augmented RBC model

Article Abstract:

The derivation of a modified version of the RBC inventory model developed by Christiano takes into account factors such as government spending and monetary shocks that may influence the fluctuation and timeliness of inventories. Sales is likewise considered and is actually observed to be a major determinant of inventory cycle changes. Furthermore, a delay in the observation of such demand shocks is observed to affect inventory level.

Segregating space allocation models for container inventories in port container terminals

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to analyze the allocation of storage space for import containers. In line with this, cases where the arrival rate of import containers is constant, cyclic and dynamic were examined. Spaces were assigned for each arriving vessel to reduce the anticipated total number of rehandles. In addition, a formula representing the association between stack height and the number of rehandles was developed.
