advised that students should go through this material at the end of each class. As for general reading, the reader is advised to go according to the chapters. Chapters have been arranged in the order of higher complexity. So the initial chapters are very important. In this book, the statistical procedures have been implemented on SAS. The explanations of the codes have been from the perspective of a data modeler. For the perspective of a programmer, the students are advised to go

contribution of our paper, we propose a simulation-based approach to approximate transition function of output shocks between finite states, which is an indispensable step in discrete state dynamic programming. Comparing to Tauchen’s method, our approach is very flexible in transforming various econometric models to finite state transition function, so that our approach can be widely used in simulating different kinds of discrete state shocks.

Extension of the Snow Fun Ski Resort Problem Suppose that the operating cost of the snowmaking equipment is actually 30% higher than the owner had estimated, that is, $13,000 if the snowfall is heavy, $65,000 if it is moderate, and $117,000 if it is light. How will the increased operating cost affect the owner’s optimal decision? As shown above, the best decision now is to let the larger hotel run the ski resort and the profit is $45,000 Calculate the EVPI, and determine that maximum amount that

Case Study#2 The XYZ Company Katharine Rally is the vice president of operations for the XYZ Company. She oversees operations at a plant that manufactures components for hydraulic systems. Katharine is concerned about the plant’s present production capability. She has reduced the decision situation to three alternatives. The first alternative, which is fully automation, would result in significant changes in present operations. The second alternative, which is semi-automation, involves fewer
