The Sharing Strategy of Online Leasing of Large-Scale Scientific Instruments:A Case Study of Online Leasing of Gas Chromatographs
To mitigate leasing costs for lessees and alleviate financial pressure on scientific research institutions in acquiring large scientific instruments,effective utilization has emerged as a critical topic.Taking into account the rapid advancement of the sharing economy and the time value of capital,this paper delves into the option A-B online leasing of large scientific instruments under a compound rate scenario,utilizing gas chromatographs as a case study.Through a competitive analysis approach,this paper establishes competitive strategies for this leasing problem.Furthermore,a risk compensation analysis is conducted for the shared option A-B online leasing issue,factoring in decision-makers'long-term outlook for future equipment usage.Additionally,numerical examples are employed to illustrate the influence of interest rates,probabilistic forecasts,and risk tolerance on the optimal online strategy.The findings reveal that optimal decision-making timings for risk compensation strategies vary with different compound rates.The anticipated gains achieved by decision-makers are positively correlated with their risk tolerance.Moreover,under a given risk tolerance level,the introduction of probabilistic forecasts enhances the competitive ratio performance of large scientific instruments in the option A-B online leasing scenario under compound interest.
