Abstract

Weichun Chen, a Ph.D. student from College of Management and Economics, Tianjin University, China, who won first prize in China’s National Postgraduate Mathematical Contest in Modelling in 2014, is currently visiting the Luxembourg Center for Logistics and Supply Chain Management (LCL).

Weichun’s research focuses on green supply chains, remanufacturing, dynamic decisions as well as behavioral operations management. Inspired by the electric vehicle market, where governments around the globe offer different subsidy schemes, she is currently working with Prof. Benny Mantin on government’s policy making and supply chain members’ optimal production and pricing decisions. Specifically, a key question she is interested in, is whether government should commit to future subsidy path to incentivize consumers to purchase early and induce firms to progress faster along the production learning curve or set the subsidy dynamically over time.

Before visiting the LCL, Weichun explored lead time management in supply chains with risk-averse decision makers. Her research has been published in Journal of Cleaner Production and Managerial and Decision Economics.
