  摘要：Problem definition: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services launched the Primary Care First (PCF) initiative in January 2021. The initiative builds upon prior innova-tive payment models and aims at incentivizing a redesign of primary care delivery, includ-ing new modes of delivery, such as remote care. To achieve this goal, the initiative blends capitation and fee-for-service (FFS) payments and includes performance-based adjustments linked to service quality and health outcomes. We analyz...
• Managing Customer Search: Assortment Planning for a Subscription Box Service AI翻译
  作者：Bernstein, Fernando; Guo, Yuan
  作者单位：Duke University
  摘要：Problem definition: This paper focuses on subscription box services in which a provider selects the assortment of products to include in the box by taking into account the customer's preferences. Customers interested in purchasing a product choose between engaging in active search (i.e., visit physical stores) or subscribing to a box delivery service. We study the subscription box company's problem of selecting the optimal contents of the box to maximize expected revenue (by driving demand fro...
• Trust and Reciprocity in Firms? Capacity Sharing AI翻译
  作者：Hu, Xing; Caldentey, Rene
  作者单位：University of Hong Kong; University of Chicago
  摘要：Problem definition: We study the use of nonmonetary incentives based on reciprocity to facilitate capacity sharing between two service providers that have limited and substitutable service capacity. Academic/practical relevance: We propose a parsimonious game theory framework, in which two firms dynamically choose whether to accept each other's customers without the capability to perfectly monitor each other's capacity utilization state. Methodology: We solve the continuous-time imperfect-moni...
• Retail Sample Boxes: Counteracting the Adverse Effect of Accelerated Learning via Future Credit AI翻译

  摘要：Problem definition: Consumers often try a few varieties of an experience product before establishing a shopping routine. In retailing, a sample box typically refers to a package of multiple trial-sized varieties within a product category. Sample boxes potentially create value by helping consumers resolve their uncertainties regarding these varieties earlier and at a lower cost. In this paper, we study how firms and consumers share this added value under different market scenarios. We also deri...

• Competition and Collaboration on Fundraising for Short-Term Disaster Response: The Impact on Earmarking and Performance AI翻译

  摘要：Problem definition: Most humanitarian organizations (HOs) allow donors to earmark their donations (i.e., designate their contributions to a specific purpose). Allowing earmarking may increase donations; however, it creates operational inefficiencies that undermine the impact of those donations. Extant literature has mainly studied earmarking and its operational consequences in the absence of funding competition. We examine how competition for funding impacts earmarking decisions, fundraising c...
• I Quit: Schedule Volatility as a Driver of Voluntary Employee Turnover AI翻译
  作者：Bergman, Alon; David, Guy; Song, Hummy
  作者单位：University of Pennsylvania; University of Pennsylvania
  摘要：Problem definition: Employers across many sectors of the economy have been fast to adopt variable work scheduling policies. The cost of this flexibility for employers is usually borne by employees, for whom unstable work schedules create several disruptions. In the context of home healthcare, we examine how employer-driven volatility in nurses' schedules impacts their decision to voluntarily leave their job. Methodology/results: Using an instrumental variables approach, we causally identify th...
• Market Segmentation Trees AI翻译

  摘要：Problem definition: We seek to provide an interpretable framework for segmenting users in a population for personalized decision making. Methodology/results: We propose a general methodology, market segmentation trees (MSTs), for learning market segmentations explicitly driven by identifying differences in user response patterns. To demonstrate the versatility of our methodology, we design two new specialized MST algorithms: (i) choice model trees (CMTs), which can be used to predict a user's ...
• Vehicle Rebalancing in a Shared Micromobility System with Rider Crowdsourcing AI翻译
  作者：Jin, Ziliang; Wang, Yulan; Lim, Yun Fong; Pan, Kai; Shen, Zuo-Jun Max
  作者单位：Hong Kong Polytechnic University; Singapore Management University; University of California System; University of California Berkeley; University of Hong Kong; University of Hong Kong
  摘要：Problem definition: Shared micromobility vehicles provide an eco-friendly form of short-distance travel within an urban area. Because customers pick up and drop off vehicles in any service region at any time, such convenience often leads to a severe imbalance between vehicle supply and demand in different service regions. To overcome this, a micromobility operator can crowdsource individual riders with reward incentives in addition to engaging a third-party logistics provider (3PL) to relocate...
• Intertemporal Price Discrimination via Randomized Promotions AI翻译
  作者：Chen, Hongqiao; Hu, Ming; Wu, Jiahua
  作者单位：Nanjing University; University of Toronto; Imperial College London
  摘要：Problem definition: The undesirable but inevitable consequence of running promotions is that consumers can be trained to time their purchases strategically. In this paper, we study randomized promotions, where the firm randomly offers discounts over time, as an alternative strategy of intertemporal price discrimination. Methodology/results: We consider a base model where a monopolist sells a single product to a market with a constant stream of two market segments. The segments are heterogeneou...
