Field Guide to Northern Tree-related Microhabitats: Descriptions and size limits for their inventory in boreal and hemiboreal forests of Europe and North America
A tree-related microhabitat (abbreviated as TreM) is a morphological feature present on a tree, which is used by sometimes highly specialised species during at least one part of their life cycle. These features may serve as shelters, breeding spots, or cru ...

Ralf Seifert, Anna Timonina-Farkas, Rachel Agnès Laetitia Rosemonde Marie Lacroix
Additive manufacturing (AM), originally used for prototyping, is increasingly adopted for custom final part production across different industries. However, printing speed and production volume are two barriers for the adoption of AM for product customizat ...
SPRINGER2022Industry 4.0 Technologies and Customer-centricity for Digital Supply Chains

Globalization, outsourcing and cost optimization have all contributed to increased supply chain vulnerability, yet our understanding of effective mitigation strategies remains limited. In our research, we study the effects of disruptions on supply chain ne ...
EPFL2021Managing inventory with proportional transaction costs
We solve the problem of optimal inventory management for a CARA market-maker who faces proportional transaction costs and marking to market. Our model accommodates inventory shocks following an arbitrary compound Poisson process. We show that the no-tradin ...

2020Frictional Intermediation in Over-the-Counter Markets
We extend Duffie et al.'s (2005) search-theoretic model of over-the-counter (OTC) asset markets, allowing for a decentralized inter-dealer market with arbitrary heterogeneity in dealers' valuations (or, equivalently, inventory costs). We develop a solution ...
