ISIR Session at ASSA meeting 2014

Benesch — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 14:32:51 +0000

The International Society for Inventory Research (ISIR) sponsors a session each year at the ASSA meetings. The 2014 meetings will be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on January 3-January 5. This year the session is being organized by George Alessandria of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.

The ISIR encompasses research not just on inventories but also on related areas such as plant and equipment investment, or inventory-theoretic approaches to other areas of economics, including money and liquidity. Because your research has overlapped with these areas, we hope you will be interested in participating in the ISIR session next January. If you have (or expect to have) a paper that would be suitable for the session, please send an abstract or a draft of the paper by
May 24, 2013 to George at george.alessandria@phil.frb.org.

Electronic submission is preferred, but you may also send a hard copy to

11th ISIR Summer School on Research Trends in Inventory Management and Modeling

Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Neuchatel, Switzerland

August 19-23, 2013

IMPORTANT DATES:

April 30, 2013: Submission of extended abtstract and senior researchers? application

May 15, 2013: Notification on acceptance

June 15, 2013: Registration deadline

June 30, 2013: Submission of working papers

There are no doubts that inventory research has many intersections with other disciplines that open new research perspectives. Therefore, the idea of this summer school is to bring together researchers from the field of inventory management as well as inventory modeling. This will facilitate research in emerging areas, as for example, innovative inventory control, integrated demand and supply management, sustainable supply chain management, behavioral aspects of inventory management, coordinated decision making, reverse logistics, inventory management in service operations, and humanitarian logistics. The 11th ISIR Summer School is organized by ISIR and Prof. Gerald Reiner (University of Neuchatel, Faculty of Economics and Business).

Objective

The objective of the summer school is to provide a place for Ph.D. students to present their research work and to discuss various aspects with fellow students and senior researchers. For each presentation given by a Ph.D. student two participants – one Ph.D. student and one senior researcher – will act as discussants. In addition to the presentations of Ph.D. students, senior researchers will give talks and offer tutorials.

A detailed program of the summer school is available through the summer school’s web site (http://www2.unine.ch/isir-summer2013).

Application and Registration

We invite Ph.D. students to apply to participate in the summer school by submitting an extended abstract (about 400?500 words) of their working paper until April 30, 2013. Ph.D. students will be notified about the acceptance of their paper before May 15, 2013. Upon acceptance, Ph.D. students are asked to submit a complete working paper until June 30, 2013.

Senior researchers who would like to give a presentation or act as a discussant are asked to send a note before April 30, 2013. Senior researchers are encouraged to participate together with a Ph.D. student.

Ph.D. students and senior researchers have to register before June 15, 2013. The registration fee for the summer school is 190 EUR and includes lunches, an excursion, the social program and a gala dinner.

Location and Venue

The summer school will be held at the University of Neuchatel (http://www.unine.ch), located in the heart of the city of Neuchatel, Switzerland.
