• 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...

• 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...
• 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...
• Can Global Sourcing Strategy Predict Stock Returns? AI翻译
  作者：Jain, Nitish; Wu, Di (Andrew)
  作者单位：University of London; London Business School; University of Michigan System; University of Michigan
  摘要：Problem definition: Whereas firms are increasingly relying on sourcing globally as a key constituent of their supply chain strategy, there is no empirical evidence on whether investors of these firms adequately reflect firms' global sourcing strategy (GSS) in their stock-valuation process. In this paper, we empirically test whether stock market participants are efficient in doing so. Methodology/results: Using the empirical asset-pricing framework, we find that information concerning firms' GS...
• The Impact of Behavioral and Economic Drivers on Gig Economy Workers AI翻译
  作者：Allon, Gad; Cohen, Maxime C.; Sinchaisri, Wichinpong Park
  作者单位：University of Pennsylvania; McGill University; University of California System; University of California Berkeley
  摘要：Problem definition: Gig economy companies benefit from labor flexibility by hiring independent workers in response to real-time demand. However, workers' flexibility in their work schedule poses a great challenge in terms of planning and committing to a service capacity. Understanding what motivates gig economy workers is thus of great importance. In collaboration with a ride-hailing platform, we study how on-demand workers make labor decisions; specifically, whether to work and work duration....
• Redesigning Sample Transportation in Malawi Through Improved Data Sharing and Daily Route Optimization AI翻译
  作者：Gibson, Emma; Deo, Sarang; Jonasson, Jonas Oddur; Kachule, Mphatso; Palamountain, Kara
  作者单位：Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT); Indian School of Business (ISB); Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT); Northwestern University
  摘要：Problem definition: Healthcare systems in resource-limited settings rely on diagnostic networks in which medical samples (e.g., blood, sputum) and results need to be transported between geographically dispersed healthcare facilities and centralized laboratories. Academic/practical relevance: Existing sample transportation (ST) systems typically operate fixed schedules, which do not account for demand variability and lead to unnecessary transportation visits as well as delays. Methodology: We d...
• Improving Match Rates in Dating Markets Through Assortment Optimization AI翻译
  作者：Rios, Ignacio; Saban, Daniela; Zheng, Fanyin
  作者单位：University of Texas System; University of Texas Dallas; Stanford University; Columbia University
  摘要：Problem definition: Motivated by our collaboration with an online dating company, we study how a platform should dynamically select the set of potential partners to show to each user in each period in order to maximize the expected number of matches in a time horizon, where a match is formed only after two users like each other, possibly in different periods. Academic/practical relevance: Increasing match rates is a prevalent objective of online platforms. We provide insights into how to lever...
• Estimating Personalized Demand with Unobserved No-Purchases Using a Mixture Model: An Application in the Hotel Industry AI翻译
  作者：Cho, Sanghoon; Ferguson, Mark; Pekgun, Pelin; Vakhutinsky, Andrew
  作者单位：University of South Carolina System; University of South Carolina Columbia; Oracle
  摘要：Problem definition: Estimating customer demand for revenue management solutions faces two main hurdles: unobservable no-purchases and nonhomogenous customer populations with varying preferences. We propose a novel and practical estimation and segmentation methodology that overcomes both challenges simultaneously. Academic/practical relevance: We combine the estimation of discrete choice modeling under unobservable no-purchases with a data-driven identification of customer segments. In collabor...
