We study logistical investment flexibility provided by modular processing technologies for mitigating risk. Specifically, we propose a multi-stage stochastic programming formulation that determines optimal capacity expansion plans that mitigate demand uncertainty. The formulation accounts for multi-product dependencies between small/large units and for trade-offs between expected profit and risk. The formulation uses a cumulative risk measure to avoid timeconsistency issues of traditional, per-stage risk-minimization formulations and we argue that this approach is more compatible with typical investment metrics such as the net present value. Case studies of different complexity are presented to illustrate the developments. Our studies reveal that the Pareto frontier of a flexible setting (allowing for deployment of small units) dominates the Pareto frontier of an inflexible setting (allowing only for deployment of large units). Notably, this dominance is prevalent despite benefits arising from economies of scale of large processing units.

Whereas maintenance has been recognized as an important and effective means for risk management in power systems, it turns out to be intractable if cascading blackout risk is considered due to the extremely high computational complexity. In this pape
r, based on the inference from the blackout simulation data, we propose a methodology to efficiently identify the most influential component(s) for mitigating cascading blackout risk in a large power system. To this end, we first establish an analytic relationship between maintenance strategies and blackout risk estimation by inferring from the data of cascading outage simulations. Then we formulate the component maintenance decision-making problem as a nonlinear 0-1 programming. Afterwards, we quantify the credibility of blackout risk estimation, leading to an adaptive method to determine the least required number of simulations, which servers as a crucial parameter of the optimization model. Finally, we devise two heuristic algorithms to find approximate optimal solutions to the model with very high efficiency. Numerical experiments well manifest the efficacy and high efficiency of our methodology.
The fundamental principle in Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) is based on the quantification of the portfolios risk related to performance. Although MPT has made huge impacts on the investment world and prompted the success and prevalence of passive inv
esting, it still has shortcomings in real-world applications. One of the main challenges is that the level of risk an investor can endure, known as emph{risk-preference}, is a subjective choice that is tightly related to psychology and behavioral science in decision making. This paper presents a novel approach of measuring risk preference from existing portfolios using inverse optimization on the mean-variance portfolio allocation framework. Our approach allows the learner to continuously estimate real-time risk preferences using concurrent observed portfolios and market price data. We demonstrate our methods on real market data that consists of 20 years of asset pricing and 10 years of mutual fund portfolio holdings. Moreover, the quantified risk preference parameters are validated with two well-known risk measurements currently applied in the field. The proposed methods could lead to practical and fruitful innovations in automated/personalized portfolio management, such as Robo-advising, to augment financial advisors decision intelligence in a long-term investment horizon.
This paper proposes a methodology for designing decision support systems for visualising and mitigating the Internet of Things cyber risks. Digital technologies present new cyber risk in the supply chain which are often not visible to companies parti
cipating in the supply chains. This study investigates how the Internet of Things cyber risks can be visualised and mitigated in the process of designing business and supply chain strategies. The emerging DSS methodology present new findings on how digital technologies affect business and supply chain systems. Through epistemological analysis, the article derives with a decision support system for visualising supply chain cyber risk from Internet of Things digital technologies. Such methods do not exist at present and this represents the first attempt to devise a decision support system that would enable practitioners to develop a step by step process for visualising, assessing and mitigating the emerging cyber risk from IoT technologies on shared infrastructure in legacy supply chain systems.
This paper analyzes a class of infinite-time-horizon stochastic games with singular controls motivated from the partially reversible problem. It provides an explicit solution for the mean-field game (MFG) and presents sensitivity analysis to compare
the solution for the MFG with that for the single-agent control problem. It shows that in the MFG, model parameters not only affect the optimal strategies as in the single-agent case, but also influence the equilibrium price. It then establishes that the solution to the MFG is an $epsilon$-Nash Equilibrium to the corresponding $N$-player game, with $epsilon=Oleft(frac{1}{sqrt N}right)$.
In this paper, we study an irreversible investment problem under Knightian uncertainty. In a general framework, in which Knightian uncertainty is modeled through a set of multiple priors, we prove existence and uniqueness of the optimal investment pl
an, and derive necessary and sufficient conditions for optimality. This allows us to construct the optimal policy in terms of the solution to a stochastic backward equation under the worst-case scenario. In a time-homogeneous setting - where risk is driven by a geometric Brownian motion and Knightian uncertainty is realized through a so-called k-ignorance - we are able to provide the explicit form of the optimal irreversible investment plan.
