摘要：Problem definition: A growing number of firms are encouraging consumers to participate in bring-your-own-container (BYOC) behavior in which consumers bring their own reusable packaging to purchase and consume products, thus reducing single-use packaging waste. In this paper, we study the environmental implications of a firm's BYOC implementation when considering its disposable packaging choice and communication strategy. Methodology/results: We build a stylized model to study a firm's joint de...

摘要：Problem definition: With the rapid growth of e-commerce, platforms are able to gather large quantities of data, which can result in high-precision predictions regarding consumer purchasing patterns and future demand. A fundamental question is whether a platform has the incentives and ability to share such nonverifiable information with its sellers. Methodology/results: We show that when information is nonverifiable, sharing the precise value of the platform's private information by means of ch...

摘要：physicians diagnose patients and prescribe treatment in-person or through asynchronous telemedicine (AT), a widely adopted yet relatively under-explored form of telemedicine. In collaboration with physicians at the Veterans Healthcare Administration (VHA), we examine the impact of introducing an AT channel on the existing in-person channel and on overall system performance. Methodology/results: VHA implemented AT at select clinics in the state of Georgia in 2012. Using a difference-in-differen...

摘要：Problem definition: Online retailing platforms are increasingly relying on personalized recommender systems to help guide consumer choice. An important but understudied question in such settings is how many products to include in a recommendation set. In this work, we study how the number of recommended products influences consumers' search and purchase behavior in an online personalized recommender system within a retargeting setting. Methodology/results: Via a field experiment involving 1.6 ...

摘要：Problem definition: We study the problem of forecasting an entire demand distribution for a new product before and after its launch. Firms need accurate distributional forecasts of demand to make operational decisions about capacity, inventory, and marketing expenditures. We introduce a unified, robust, and interpretable approach to producing these pre- and postlaunch distributional forecasts. Methodology/results: Our approach is inspired by Bayesian model averaging. Each candidate model in ou...

摘要：Problem definition: The paucity of data on governmental regulatory agencies' product safety defect investigations has restricted our knowledge about (1) the determinants of a regulator's decisions to open or close an investigation, (2) the process it follows between opening and closing of an investigation, and (3) the outcomes of the investigation when it is closed. Methodology/results: The authors view a safety regulator's opening and closing of a product defect investigation as a decision of...

摘要：Problem definition: To investigate the interplay between servicizing and remanufacturing, two widely used strategies in the circular economy, and its impact on firms' economic and environmental performance, we consider a profit-maximizing manufacturer who explores the possibility of jointly adopting the two strategies. Methodology and results: We develop optimization models that capture the main attributes for servicizing (pay-per-use, demand pooling) and remanufacturing (lower production cost...

摘要：Problem definition: Coordinated care network (CCN) is a burgeoning paradigm where patients' diagnosis and treatment plans are developed based on collaboration between multiple, colocated medical specialties to holistically address patients' health needs. A primary performance metric for CCNs is how quickly patients can complete their itinerary of appointments at multiple medical services in the network. Rapid completion is critical to care delivery but also presents a major operational challen...
