Investigating the Effects of Debt Convergence of Companies on the Speed of Capital Structure Adjustment Considering the Time Horizon by Sayed Mojtaba Ahmadi, Mehdi Agha Beik Zadeh, Afsaneh Soroushyar

“…IntroductionExtensive research has examined the speed at which companies adjust their financial leverage towards an optimal capital structure. The idea is that there exists an optimal debt-to-equity ratio that maximizes a company's value and when companies deviate from this optimal level, they will make adjustments to return to the target capital structure. …”

Design an intelligent model for suppliers productivity evaluation in sustainable supply chain by Majid Yarahmadi, Saeedeh Sakiniya

“…Then, to measure the productivity in the presence of environmental uncertainty via different -levels, a genetic algorithm is implemented to find an optimal -cutting. Finally, an intelligent DEA model for ranking the supplier companies via optimal  value is designed.Findings: This paper presents a new fuzzy DEA model based on a Genetic Algorithm for evaluating the productivity of suppliers in a sustainable supply chain.Originality/Value: In the proposed method, since the -cut obtained from the Genetic Algorithm is optimal, there is no longer a need to calculate the efficiency for different α-cuts through trial and error. …”
