摘要：Data sharing between upstream and downstream entities is vital for the success of a supply chain. However, distrust, privacy concerns, data misuse, and the asymmetric valuation of shared data between entities often hinder data sharing. This problem calls for a secure, efficient, fair, and trustworthy data-sharing mechanism. The key to such a successful system hinges on how to trace the data usage, determine the value of the seller's data to the buyer and then compensate the seller accordingly....

摘要：This paper empirically investigates using the e-mail channel to target customers with a delayed incentive promotion-specifically, gift card promotion-and derives data-driven e-mail targeting policies. Gift card promotions are popular across retailers because they incentivize customers to spend more than a fixed expenditure level on regularly priced products by rewarding customers with a gift card to be redeemed against a future purchase. The e-mail channel provides retailers with new sources o...

摘要：We investigate the real effects of corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting regulation enacted in China in 2008 covering both state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and non-state-owned enterprises (NSOEs). As the CSR reporting requirement applies only to select firms, the regulation presents a unique setting that provides us with a suitable control sample of firms not subject to the regulation. Using a difference-in-differences approach, we document that relative to firms that are not affected ...

摘要：A company must develop the AAA capabilities of agility, adaptability, and alignment in its supply chain to compete in a dynamic global environment profitably. However, as businesses face new challenges with increased environmental and social sustainability expectations, they must expand these AAA supply chain capabilities to people, planet, and profits. This study provides a framework for extending a company's capabilities for profitable supply chain management to those needed to achieve tripl...

摘要：The capacity to rank expert workers by their decision quality is a key managerial task of substantial significance to business operations. However, when no ground truth information is available on experts' decisions, the evaluation of expert workers typically requires enlisting peer-experts, and this form of evaluation is prohibitively costly in many important settings. In this work, we develop a data-driven approach for producing effective rankings based on the decision quality of expert work...

摘要：In this paper, we study a parking management problem where an operator manages a publicly owned parking service system with unknown parking demand. Assuming that the operator has perfect information, we first formulate the operator's problem as a stochastic dynamic programming problem, and to overcome the curse of dimensionality, we resort to approximate dynamic programming for solving it. However, in practice, some information that is essential for centralized management is usually privately ...

摘要：Course assignment is a very widespread problem in education and beyond. Typically, students have preferences for bundles of course seats or course schedules over the week, but courses have limited capacity. This is an interesting and frequent application of distributed scheduling, where payments cannot be used to implement the efficient allocation. First-Come First-Served (FCFS) is simple and the most widely used assignment rule in practice, but it leads to inefficient outcomes and envy in the...

摘要：In this study, we investigate the supplier's encroachment incentive when it distributes the product through multiple retailers. We show that the number of enrolled downstream retailers plays a pivotal role in determining the supplier's encroachment incentive and the channel members' performances. There exists a threshold value with respect to the number of downstream retailers, below which the bright side of supplier encroachment documented in the existing literature exists; that is, encroachm...

摘要：This study investigates how tightening standards can result in greater non-compliance, especially when market and regulatory interests are misaligned. We confirm a causal relationship that explains the highly publicized auto industry non-compliance phenomenon where on-road NOx emissions exceeded standards. Based on a 15-year on-road vehicle emissions dataset covering 148,837 vehicles from 42 automakers in the EU, we use regression discontinuity to identify the causal impact of standards tighte...

摘要：This study investigates the impacts of transshipment between overconfident newsvendors who perceive the expected outcome of a random event as more certain than it actually is. The conventional wisdom is that transshipment is a risk-pooling strategy for improving newsvendors' performance. However, we find that overconfident newsvendors can be worse off with transshipment as compared to without transshipment. This result remains when overconfident newsvendors possess other behaviors such as fair...
