  摘要：Problem definition: To generate more sales, retailers are incentivized to open large stores. However, large store formats can carry negative environmental externalities. Entry of large stores in a community may stimulate mass consumption through its impact on consumer behaviors and local competition. In this study, we examine the local impact on the amount of consumer waste generated following an expansion of retail Supercenters. Methodology/results: We leverage the staggered expansion of Walm...
• Working with Practitioners in Operations Management AI翻译

  摘要：Problem definition: Collaborations between researchers and practitioners in operations management are becoming more common, and they can bridge the gap between theory and real-world application. This paper explores the process of managing such collaborations, emphasizing the importance of mutual trust, stakeholder management, and the alignment of academic rigor with practical value. Methodology/results: Drawing on experience and previous operations management literature, the study describes th...
• Multiproduct Dynamic Pricing with Reference Effects Under Logit Demand AI翻译

  摘要：Problem definition: We consider the dynamic pricing problem of multiple products under (asymmetric) reference effects over an infinite horizon. Unlike existing literature, which is mostly focused on the single-product setting, our multiproduct setting takes into account the cross-product effects among substitutes and incorporates the memory-based reference prices into the multinomial logit (MNL) demand model. Even with the singleproduct logit demand, the structure of the optimal pricing policy...
• Waiting Time Prediction with Invisible Customers AI翻译

  摘要：Problem definition: Motivated by technological advances in real-time data collection about customers location in service systems, we study the effect of partial visibility of customers on waiting time prediction. We consider systems where the predictor observes only a subset of the customers interacting with the system while serving all customers indiscriminately. Methodology/results: We formulate a novel model of a partially visible queue and analyze the waiting time prediction problem, deriv...
• Coastal Groundwater Management: Seawater Intrusion Prevention, Artificial Recharge, and Climate Adaptation AI翻译
  作者：Hou, Chengfan; Wang, Lu; Deng, Tianhu; Qi, Wei

  摘要：Problem definition: Most of the world's population relies on coastal aquifers for freshwater supplies. Groundwater is experiencing substantial overdrafts and facing evermounting freshwater demand. Existing groundwater management strategies are myopic and fail to coordinate production and the operation of protection approaches, including seawater intrusion barriers (SWIBs) and managed aquifer recharge (MAR). Motivated by the urgency of sustainable groundwater management, we investigate how to o...
• Self-Control in the Face of Multiple Projects AI翻译
  作者：Li, Qing; Yu, Peiwen
  作者单位：Hong Kong University of Science & Technology; Chongqing University
  摘要：Problem definition: We study how people with present bias make choices when they face multiple projects. Each project consists of a starting and a finishing stage, both requiring costly effort to complete but yield rewards only after project completion. Meth-odology/results: We derive people's perception-perfect strategies for project scheduling. Naifs may start a project, but never finish it. They may multitask; that is, start a new project before finishing an old project. They may not priori...
• Managing Quality on Two-Sided Platforms in the Presence of Provider Competition AI翻译
  作者：Wu, Xiaokai; Jiang, Li; Zhao, Xuan
  作者单位：Southwestern University of Finance & Economics - China; Wilfrid Laurier University; Chinese Academy of Sciences; University of Science & Technology of China, CAS
  摘要：Problem definition: We study two-sided markets in which competing platforms enforce service standards to control access of providers with heterogeneous service quality and employ pricing strategies to balance supply and demand. We further investigate the effectiveness of launching regulations, aimed to maximize social welfare, in enhancing quality, and we examine multihoming to yield additional insights. Methodology/results: We build a game-theoretic model wherein two platforms enforce service...
• Test Allocation and Pool Composition in Heterogenous Populations Under Strict Capacity Constraints AI翻译
  作者：Mills, Alex; Ziya, Serhan
  作者单位：City University of New York (CUNY) System; Baruch College (CUNY); University of North Carolina; University of North Carolina Chapel Hill
  摘要：Problem definition: Motivated by the persistent lack of testing capacity in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, we study the question who should be tested? when there are general costs and rewards, testing capacity is strictly limited, tests have errors, and patients differ in their prior probability of being infected. We specifically study how the answer to that question changes when pooled testing, a method of grouping samples to conserve tests, is an option. Methodology/results: We use...
• Designing Emission Permits Regulation for Multiple Compliance Periods AI翻译
  作者：Fu, Xingyu; Chen, Ying-Ju; Gallego, Guillermo; Gao, Pin; Lu, Mengqian
  作者单位：University of New South Wales Sydney; Hong Kong University of Science & Technology; The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen; The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen; Hong Kong University of Science & Technology; Hong Kong University of Science & Technology
  摘要：Problem definition: This paper investigates the effectiveness of emission permits policies with varying levels of temporal flexibility, including different compliance periods and the allowance/prohibition of intertemporal banking and borrowing. We also explore advanced policy designs aimed at improving social welfare. Methodology/results: Our analysis reveals that extreme policies, such as fully flexible or fully nonflexible permits, are generally suboptimal from a welfare perspective. Restric...
• The Role of Family Engagement in Influencing Patient Satisfaction and Readmission AI翻译
  作者：Bok, Joonhyuk; McDermott, Christopher; Sharma, Luv

  摘要：Problem definition: Family engagement (FE) is an ongoing partnership between health professionals and patients' families to enhance healthcare quality, safety, and delivery. Although FE is increasingly considered an essential component of patient-centered care, its importance in influencing healthcare delivery outcomes is unclear. This study examines the impact of FE on patient care outcomes (PCOs)-specifically, patient satisfaction (PS) and readmission (Readm)-in the context of varying severi...
