Agent-Based Model of Competitive Strategy

An agent-based model of competitive strategy represents firms as autonomous, heterogeneous, adaptive agents whose decision rules and local interactions generate emergent industry-level dynamics that no single firm designs. Davis, Eisenhardt, and Bingham's 2007 roadmap for developing theory through simulation places thi

Aspect-Based Review Mining

Aspect-based review mining is a natural-language-processing technique that turns large volumes of consumer reviews into feature-level opinion summaries useful for product and brand insight. Rather than scoring a review as merely positive or negative overall, it identifies the specific product features, or aspects, that

Board Interlock Network Analysis

Board interlock network analysis treats the corporate economy as a network in which two firms are tied whenever they share a director, and studies how these interlocking directorates channel information, influence, and the diffusion of practices among companies. Mizruchi's 1996 Annual Review of Sociology synthesis crys

Carr-Madan FFT

The Carr-Madan Fast Fourier Transform (1999) is a highly efficient method for computing option prices across a range of strikes using characteristic functions and FFT. It enables rapid pricing of European options under any model with a known characteristic function (Heston, Merton jumps, Variance Gamma), with computati

Computable General Equilibrium

A computable general equilibrium (CGE) model is a numerical simulation of an entire economy in which optimizing producers and consumers interact through markets that all clear simultaneously. Building on Walras's general-equilibrium theory and a benchmark social accounting matrix, a CGE model is calibrated to reproduce

Crank-Nicolson Pricing

The Crank-Nicolson method is a widely-used implicit finite difference scheme for solving PDEs in option pricing. It provides second-order accuracy in both space and time, unconditional stability, and can efficiently price derivatives with early exercise features (American options) or complex boundary conditions.

Cross-Impact Analysis

Cross-impact analysis is a forecasting technique that models how a set of possible future events influence one another, so that forecasts account for the fact that real events are interdependent rather than isolated. Theodore Gordon and H. Hayward introduced the cross-impact matrix method in their 1968 Futures paper, m

Destination Network Analysis

Destination network analysis treats a tourism destination as a network of interconnected stakeholders, firms, public agencies, intermediaries, and community actors, and studies its structure with the tools of social network analysis. The approach was consolidated by Noel Scott, Rodolfo Baggio, and Chris Cooper, whose 2

Longstaff-Schwartz Method

The Longstaff-Schwartz method (2001) is a Monte Carlo algorithm for pricing American options and Bermudan swaptions by approximating the optimal exercise boundary via least-squares regression. It has become the industry standard for pricing path-dependent derivatives where analytical solutions do not exist.

Organizational Network Analysis

Organizational network analysis studies the informal web of relationships — who goes to whom for advice, who is friends with whom, who works with whom — that runs alongside the formal org chart and often determines who actually gets things done. Daniel Brass's 1984 study of a newspaper publishing company showed that an

Patent Citation Analysis

Patent citation analysis uses the references that patents make to earlier patents as quantitative traces of innovation value and the flow of technological knowledge. The approach was given its empirical foundation by Adam Jaffe, Manuel Trajtenberg, and Rebecca Henderson, whose 1993 Quarterly Journal of Economics study

Price Fairness Scale

The Price Fairness Scale (PFS), developed by Xia, Monroe, and Cox (2004), measures customer perception of whether a charged price is fair and reasonable relative to value received and market comparison. Price fairness assessment differs from absolute price satisfaction: customers may perceive a price as high but fair i

System Dynamics Business Strategy Modeling

System dynamics business strategy modeling represents a firm's strategy as a system of stocks, flows, and feedback loops with delays, then simulates the resulting nonlinear behavior to understand why strategies succeed, fail, or backfire over time. Jay Forrester's 1961 Industrial Dynamics founded the field, showing tha

Tourism CGE Modeling

Tourism computable general equilibrium (CGE) modeling simulates how a change in tourism — a surge in inbound visitors, a major event, a new tax, or a demand collapse — ripples through an entire economy when prices, wages, exchange rates, and resources are free to adjust. Unlike input-output analysis, which assumes fixe

TripAdvisor Review Sentiment Mining

TripAdvisor review sentiment mining applies opinion mining and sentiment analysis to the large volumes of online reviews that travellers write about hotels, restaurants and attractions on platforms such as TripAdvisor. Grounded in the opinion-mining methodology surveyed by Pang and Lee (2008), it uses lexicon-based or

Value at Risk

Value at Risk is a financial risk measure that estimates the maximum loss a position or portfolio could suffer over a fixed holding period at a given confidence level. It is the standard benchmark in risk management and regulatory capital calculations, developed in the textbook tradition of Jorion (2007) and the Basel

Wavelet Financial Analysis

Wavelet financial analysis decomposes a financial time series into different frequency bands (time scales) so short- and long-term relationships can be studied at the same time. Drawing on the treatments of Gençay, Selçuk and Whitcher (2001) and Aguiar-Conraria and Soares (2014), wavelet coherence then visualises how t
