Collaboration in contingent capacities with information asymmetry

We study the optimal contracting problem between two firms collaborating on capacity investment with information asymmetry. Without a contract, system efficiency is lost due to the profit‐margin differentials among the firms, demand uncertainty, and information asymmetry. With information asymmetry, we demonstrate that the optimal capacity level is characterized by a newsvendor formula with an upward‐adjusted capacity investment cost, and no first‐best solution can be achieved. Our analysis shows that system efficiency can always be improved by the optimal contract and the improvement in system efficience is due to two factors. While the optimal contract may bring the system's capacity level closer to the first‐best capacity level, it prevents the higher‐margin firm from overinvesting and aligns the capacity‐investment decisions of the two firms. Our analysis of a special case demonstrates that, under some circumstances, both firms can benefit from the principal having better information about the agent's costs. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

驱动控制对太阳帆板驱动系统动力学特性的影响

准确预示太阳帆板驱动系统动力学特性是开展扰振机理和振动控制研究的基础。本文推导了考虑驱动控制因素的太阳帆板驱动装置等效力学特性参数表达式,构建了太阳帆板驱动系统动力学特性等效分析模型,并在仿真和试验验证基础上,讨论了驱动速度和控制增益对驱动装置力学特性参数和驱动系统动力学特性的影响规律。结果表明:所构建的等效分析模型能够在不同驱动速度和控制增益情况下准确预示驱动系统动力学特性,分析结果与试验误差小于10%；驱动装置等效阻尼与驱动速度和控制增益无关,但等效刚度随控制增益减小和驱动速度增大而减弱。随着驱动速度提高,驱动控制逐渐成为影响驱动系统动力学特性的重要因素。
