摘要：Fixed-bin selective assembly (FBSA) is a method for producing high-tolerance specification assembly from lower precision components. This study investigates the design tolerance implications of an external supplier sharing dimensional information about shipped parts to be used for FBSA. An approach for reducing surplus components in FBSA is to predictively adjust the assembler's manufacturing process so that components produced internally better match those of incoming parts. However, it is un...

摘要：In pursuit of Sustainable Development Goal 3 Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages, considerable global effort is directed toward elimination of infectious diseases in general and Neglected Tropical Diseases in particular. For various such diseases, the deployment of mobile screening teams forms an important instrument to reduce prevalence toward elimination targets. There is considerable variety in planning methods for the deployment of these mobile teams in practice...

摘要：We study a multi-country disaster preparedness partnership involving the joint prepositioning of emergency relief items. Our focus is the Caribbean region, which faces increasing disaster threats due to weather-related events and has committed to share its resources for regional integration. We collaborate with the inter-governmental Caribbean Disaster and Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA), which is interested in creating a methodology to equitably (fairly) allocate the costs necessary to op...

摘要：Consider a firm that is developing an innovative product. We study the trade-offs associated with its product design decisions in regards to product performance (the function of the product), product reliability (whether the product will perform its function), and product time-to-market (the development time for the product). Specifically, while a more innovative product may deliver better product performance, without sufficient development time, the product may not be as reliable given that i...

摘要：The detection of environmental violators is critical to the long-term adoption of sustainability in supply chain management. However, there exist manufacturing facilities that report false environmental monitoring data, thereby seriously hampering governments' efforts to identify true offenders and to properly intervene. We integrate waste gas data from the world's largest Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) with a publicly available Violation and Punishment Dataset (VPD) to build pre...

摘要：Warehouse club (WC) retailers have typically expanded to new markets using stand-alone stores, rather than pursuing dense store networks as other (non-WC) retailers have in the past. While this strategy generates operating efficiencies, it also imposes high travel costs on households to shop, which calls into question WC stores' resilience to spatial competition from stores operating other formats. We examine this phenomenon by using data on households' shopping activity across markets served ...

摘要：We examine a model in which a supplier sells products through an online platform and an offline retailer under conditions of demand uncertainty. The actual demand potential can be observed (or predicted accurately using rich sales data) by the platform and retailer, but not by the supplier. The model addresses the following issues. First, the supplier optimizes its multi-channel strategy, including a selling format choice in the online channel and optimal pricing. Specifically, although a trad...

摘要：We examine the impact of consumer search from the perspective of revenue-maximizing optimal auction design. In this two-sided market, advertisers are endowed with privately known qualities, and consumers incur heterogeneous search costs when clicking on advertisements displayed by the search engine. Our general approach eliminates ad hoc restrictions and therefore allows us to uncover the salient economic trade-offs. We adopt the optimal mechanism design approach to examine this two-sided priv...

摘要：We develop a dynamic model to study the systemic risk of the banking network, so as to study the dynamics of bank defaults. In contrast to the existing literature, we show that while the possibility of contagion is determined by interconnectedness of the financial network, whether a financial crisis can occur depends on the profile of the liquid assets of the banks in the system. Based on the dynamic model, we introduce a time to crisis index that allows us to predict the occurrence of a finan...
