The Cost

The well-chosen inventory policy has a great impact on the performance of production and logistics processes, because it can influence not only the reliability, the cost efficiency, and the sustainability of the processes and resources, but packaging system can force the quality of products and processes. Within the frame of this article an exchange curve-based analysis method of packaging related inventory policy is described. This analysis method makes it possible to highlight the problems in inventory policy and find an improve solution in both macro- and micro-level. The computation method is based on the exchange of annual order cost and average inventory investment, especially in the case of economic order quantity-based packaging order policies.

Divisible Goods

Search-theory has become the main paradigm for the micro-foundation of money. But no comprehensive business cycle analysis has been undertaken yet with a search-based monetary model. This paper extends the model with divisible goods and divisible money of Shi (JET, 1998) to allow for capital formation, analyses the monetary propagation mechanism and contrasts the model's implications with US business cycle stylized facts. The propagation mechanism based on a feedback between increased search intensity and depleted inventories only survives in the presence of non-negligible capital adjustment costs. With intermediate adjustment costs the model is able to replicate fairly well the volatility and cross-correlation with output of key US time series, including sales and inventory investment.
