  摘要：We study the funds allocation problem for a resource-constrained non-profit organization (NPO) that implements social development projects for public good. In addition to raising funds from donors who contribute prior to project implementation (traditional donors), the NPO uses a novel approach, which we term as the ex-post funding approach, to also raise funds from donors who contribute based on the results delivered by the NPO (ex-post donors). In this approach, the NPO uses its initial fund...

  摘要：In developing countries, governments, non- governmental organizations, and social entrepreneurs are disseminating agricultural information to farmers to improve their welfare. However, instead of having direct access to the information, farmers usually acquire information from local social networks, and, thus, they may have very different information channels. We establish a general framework that accommodates highly asymmetric information structures to study farmers' information management an...

• Pricing Theater Seats: The Value of Price Commitment and Monotone Discounting AI翻译

  摘要：We examine the value of price commitment in a non-profit organization using individual-level purchases over a series of concert performances. To decide on a pricing policy, the performing arts organization must be able to accurately measure when each ticket will be sold and what type of audience will purchase the tickets for each performance. We use a competing hazards framework to model the timing of ticket purchases when customer segments differ in their valuations and arrival times. We show...

  摘要：We analyze not-for-profit Medical Surplus Recovery Organizations (MSROs) that manage the recovery of surplus (unused or donated) medical products to fulfill the needs of underserved healthcare facilities in the developing world. Our work is inspired by an award-winning North American non-governmental organization (NGO) that matches the uncertain supply of medical surplus with the receiving parties' needs. In particular, this NGO adopts a recipient-driven resource allocation model, which grants...

  摘要：Even though more and more transactions and payments are conducted electronically, physical currency (banknotes and coins) still plays an essential role in commerce and trade, and it is expected to maintain its dominance in the near future. Over the past decade, several studies have analyzed various currency supply chains across the world. This study provides an overview of this research. The structure of a general banknote supply chain is given before the discussion of the problems from three ...

  摘要：Many developing countries suffer severe energy deficiencies despite their ample reserves of resources - the so-called predicament of resource rich, energy poor. A leading driver is the energy-economy cycle, where poor economic status, inefficient utilization of limited budget, and energy deficiency reinforced each other and led these countries into a spiral of economic downfall. How to turn this cycle around? It is a classic question but not well answered in the energy policy/economics literat...

  摘要：Material IQ (MiQ) is a new decision tool designed by GreenBlue to help suppliers safely share sensitive chemical-toxicity data with their customers. As GreenBlue takes MiQ to market, it must determine under what market conditions to promote the use of MiQ and when to recommend that a buyer uses its implementation as an opportunity to work with an existing supplier. We study GreenBlue's problem in two parts. First, we investigate when a buyer can use a wholesale price premium and/or buyer-suppl...

In this study, we present a decision-support tool employing analytical models to assist disaster and waste management officials with decisions regarding collection, transportation, reduction, recycling, and disposal of debris. The tool enables optimizing and balancing the financial and environmental costs, duration of the collection and disposal operations, landfill u...
