Abstract:

A discussion of the importance of transfer pricing and a review of the relevant literature are followed by a decomposition algorithm for quadratic programming, using the problem of transfer pricing with externalities as a vehicle for its development. A numerical example is given and comments are made of the applicability and behavioral implications of adoption in a real time context.
