  摘要：We propose a general modular approach to support decision-makers' response in the early stages of a pandemic with resource expansion, motivated by the shortage of Covid-19-related intensive care units (ICU) capacity in 2020 in Italy. Our approach uses (1) a stochastic extension of an epidemic model for scenarios of projected infections, (2) a capacity load model to translate infections into scenarios of demand for the resources of interest, and (3) an optimization model to allocate this demand...
• Commitment strategies and inventory decisions under supply disruption risk AI翻译

  摘要：Pandemics, trade frictions, and military conflicts may disrupt manufacturers' production capacity. This paper develops a two-period supply chain model with supply disruption risk in the second period to investigate inventory decisions and the manufacturer's commitment strategies. We consider three strategies: no commitment, price commitment, and inventory commitment. Inventory holding within the supply chain is investigated under each strategy, and the dominant strategy is determined by compar...
• Interfirm knowledge sharing for energy efficiency AI翻译

  摘要：Climate change as a global challenge requires collective responses from stakeholders in society. As the main source of energy consumption generating greenhouse gases (e.g., CO2), firms increasingly share their problems and experiences regarding energy saving in interfirm knowledge communities. By distinguishing knowledge sharing from free-riding, we investigate how firms that participate in an interfirm knowledge community for energy saving improve their energy efficiency. We use a unique pane...
• The effect of acute stress on humanitarian supplies management AI翻译

  摘要：Humanitarian workers often operate under highly stressful conditions, view emotional scenes, and face high time pressures. This may bias managerial decision-making in humanitarian logistics, but evidence is lacking. We model humanitarian logistics decisions in an adapted newsvendor setting. We experimentally expose participants to time pressure, noise, and emotional pictures. Using physiological and self-reported data, we confirm that these manipulations have different effects on two component...
• Coordinated charging station search in stochastic environments: A multiagent approach AI翻译

  摘要：Range and charge anxiety remain essential barriers to a faster electric vehicle (EV) market diffusion. To this end, quickly and reliably finding suitable charging stations may foster an EV uptake by mitigating drivers' anxieties. Here, existing commercial services help drivers to find available stations based on real-time availability data but struggle with data inaccuracy, for example, due to conventional vehicles blocking the access to public charging stations. In this context, recent works ...
• The puzzle of online arbitrage and increased product returns: A game-theoretic analysis AI翻译
  作者：Geda, Avinash; Pu, Jingchuan; Qiu, Liangfei

  摘要：Online arbitrage, a recent trend on e-commerce platforms, occurs when a firm (the arbitrage firm) copies the product description of another firm (the designer firm, who is the original seller of the product) and sells the product at a marked-up price on a different platform from the designer firm. Once receiving a consumer's order, the arbitrage firm creates an order at the designer firm with a fake account and the consumer's shipping information. In this process, the designer firms fulfill al...
• Consumer self-design and brand competition AI翻译

  摘要：We examine competing brands' incentive to offer a self-designable package that consumers can modify to ensure fit, in addition to offering a standard, pre-configured product. While amateurs with low self-design capability prefer a standard, pre-configured product and can have strong preference for a particular brand, experts with high self-design capability prefer a self-designable package and tend to be indifferent between competing brands. First, we find that asymmetric equilibrium can arise...
• Differential pricing in social networks with strategic consumers AI翻译

  摘要：This study analyzes a monopolistic seller's optimal differential pricing problem with strategic consumers connected in social networks. The consumers who purchase in the later period can get positive externalities from their friends who purchased in the early period but have to bear a utility discount for the delayed consumption. We first characterize consumers' strategic purchase decisions under general network structures. We then derive the optimal differential pricing strategies and demonst...
• Informational value of visual nudges during crises: Improving public health outcomes through social media engagement amid COVID-19 AI翻译

  摘要：In this study, we conceptualize and empirically evaluate how large-scale organizations can utilize the informational value of visual nudges on social media to promote safety among users and thus improve public health outcomes in the context of the coronovirus desease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19) pandemic. We construct a unique panel dataset combining data collected from multiple public and proprietary sources. To operationalize visual nudges from user-generated content, we engage ...

  摘要：The promise of consumer data along with advances in information technology has spurred innovation not only in the way firms conduct their business operations but also in the manner in which data are collected. A prominent institutional structure that has recently emerged is a data cooperative-an organization that collects data from its members, and processes and monetizes the pooled data. A characteristic of consumer data is the externality it generates: Data shared by an individual reveal inf...
