One of my research areas is modeling the impact of taxes, duties and transfer prices on the traditional single country or domestic supply chains. This work was conducted jointly with Prof. Carlos Vidal, who is currently a faculty member of the Universite del Valle, Cali, Colombia.

We presented some of our results at the INFORMS Conference, Salt Lake City, and the IERC Conference, Cleveland in the Spring of 2000. You can view or print a copy of the PowerPoint presentation materials in Adobe Acrobat 4.0 PDF format. This material is copyrighted and we reserve all rights.
