CHAPTER 7 CONCLUSIONS
7.2 Extensions to future research
Future studies may also incorporate quotas, certificate of origin and local content into the tax savings model. The model may also be extended to a product family and its bill-of-materials (BOM). Moreover, large-scale instances of profit-maximizing problems in a numerical study should be carefully generated to approximate reality as much as possible. The continuing relevance of the proposed model is expected in further studies.
