摘要：Problem definition: Agricultural innovation can help farmers improve their productivity; reduce their environmental impact; and address the challenges associated with ever-changing soil, weather, and market conditions. Promoting innovation often requires government support as a way to incentivize producers to experiment with (and then eventually adopt) cutting-edge practices. We investigate the effectiveness of a number of policy instruments (i.e., taxes and subsidies) in terms of their impact...

摘要：Problem definition: This article explores the incentive issues and gaming behaviors of firms under risk-sharing partnerships in a project management setting motivated by real-life examples. Academic/practical relevance: Collaboration prevails in projects within diverse industries. The risk-sharing partnership, in which each partner pays for its own cost and shares the outcome (either reward or loss) on project completion, is one of the most popular ways to manage collaborations in practice. Ho...

摘要：Problem definition: Many cities worldwide are embracing electric vehicle (EV) sharing as a flexible and sustainable means of urban transit. However, it remains challenging for the operators to charge the fleet because of limited or costly access to charging facilities. In this paper, we focus on answering the core question-how to charge the fleet to make EV sharing viable and profitable. Academic/practical relevance: Our work is motivated by the setback that struck San Diego, California, where...

摘要：Problem definition: We study electric vehicle (EV) sharing systems and explore the opportunity for incorporating vehicle-to-grid (V2G) electricity selling in EV sharing. Academic/practical relevance: The problem involves complex planning and operational decisions, as well as multiple sources of uncertainties. The related optimization models impose significant computational challenges. The potential value of V2G integration may have far-reaching impacts on EV sharing and sustainability. Methodo...

摘要：Problem definition: We study how a new development in entrepreneurship-crowdfunding-interacts with more traditional financing sources such as venture capital investors (VCs) and bank financing. Academic/practical relevance: Although extant literature has mainly focused on predicting crowdfunding campaign outcomes and optimal campaign design, the broader questions of how crowdfunding affects entrepreneurs and how crowdfunding platforms fit in with traditional startup financing sources, such as ...

摘要：Problem definition: We consider a joint assortment optimization and pricing problem where customers arrive sequentially and make purchasing decisions following the multinomial logit (MNL) choice model. Not knowing the customer choice parameters a priori and subjecting to a display capacity constraint, we dynamically determine the subset of products for display and the selling prices to maximize the expected total revenue over a selling horizon. Academic/practical relevance: Assortment and pric...
