We track 38,916 production facilitiesā€”including plantations, livestock farms, and factoriesā€”in war-torn Colombian regions; we also collect the data of 5,138 attacks performed by the two rebel groups involved in Colombiaā€™s civil war. To obtain exogenous variation in the conflict intensity, we use a difference-in-differences model that hinges on the peace process between the government and one of the guerrilla groups. We find that when the conflict intensity increases by one order of magnitude, inventory decreases by up to 10.38%. Firms, however, barely reduce finished inventory during war; they mainly reduce raw and work-in-process inventory. To offset this inventory reduction, firms increase their cash holdingsā€”that is, they shift their working capital from physical inventory to liquid assets. The location of the facility moderates the effect of war: when a facility is close to a distribution centerā€”hence, inventory travels short distancesā€”the firm responds to violence by aggressively reducing inventory; when a facility is far from a distribution center, the firm reacts less aggressively to war.</p> <p> Fri, 13 Nov 2020 17:02:37 +0000 julie.lapalme@affiliate.mcgill.ca 76594 at /desautels /desautels/channels/news/charging-electric-vehicle-sharing-fleet-331575 <p>Electric vehicle (EV) sharing programs rely on publicly available charging infrastructure. Yet often there simply isnā€™t enough infrastructure to go around, creating a major barrier to success. In 2016, the vehicle sharing company Car2Go sold off its fleet of EVs in San Diego largely because the city<span>ā€™s charging infrastructure couldn<span>ā€™t keep pace with demand. Or so it seemed. With too many vehicles being dropped off at a few charging points in high-use areas, delays grew. </span></span></p> Wed, 16 Jun 2021 20:37:43 +0000 julie.lapalme@affiliate.mcgill.ca 80915 at /desautels /desautels/channels/news/delve-converting-commuters-carpoolers-320995 <p>Congestion pricing policies, carpool lanes, and new light rail train or subway infrastructure are all expensive, long-term ways for governments to battle traffic. A simpler solution, focused on human behaviour more than infrastructure, is convincing people to carpool.</p> Wed, 04 Mar 2020 19:29:10 +0000 julie.lapalme@mcgill.ca 75576 at /desautels /desautels/channels/news/professor-maxime-cohens-work-recognized-2019-informs-conference-302128 <p><big>At the 2019 INFORMS Annual Meeting, Professor <a href="/desautels/maxime-cohen"><strong>Maxime Cohen</strong></a>, with co-authors Ruben Lobel and Georgia Perakis, was awarded the Best Operations Management Paper in Management Science Award within the past three years for their paper ā€œThe Impact of Demand Uncertainty on Consumer Subsidies for Green Technology Adoptionā€.
