摘要：We study the funds allocation problem for a resource-constrained non-profit organization (NPO) that implements social development projects for public good. In addition to raising funds from donors who contribute prior to project implementation (traditional donors), the NPO uses a novel approach, which we term as the ex-post funding approach, to also raise funds from donors who contribute based on the results delivered by the NPO (ex-post donors). In this approach, the NPO uses its initial fund...

摘要：We examine the value of price commitment in a non-profit organization using individual-level purchases over a series of concert performances. To decide on a pricing policy, the performing arts organization must be able to accurately measure when each ticket will be sold and what type of audience will purchase the tickets for each performance. We use a competing hazards framework to model the timing of ticket purchases when customer segments differ in their valuations and arrival times. We show...

摘要：In developing countries, governments, non- governmental organizations, and social entrepreneurs are disseminating agricultural information to farmers to improve their welfare. However, instead of having direct access to the information, farmers usually acquire information from local social networks, and, thus, they may have very different information channels. We establish a general framework that accommodates highly asymmetric information structures to study farmers' information management an...

摘要：We analyze not-for-profit Medical Surplus Recovery Organizations (MSROs) that manage the recovery of surplus (unused or donated) medical products to fulfill the needs of underserved healthcare facilities in the developing world. Our work is inspired by an award-winning North American non-governmental organization (NGO) that matches the uncertain supply of medical surplus with the receiving parties' needs. In particular, this NGO adopts a recipient-driven resource allocation model, which grants...

摘要：Despite substantial financial aid from international donors for procurement of health products, stockouts of life-saving drugs related to prevalent infectious diseases are still widespread in Africa. Rigorous research to understand the underlying causes of these stockouts is lacking. To this end, we study the relationship between The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and its grant recipients. Specifically, we leverage historical fund disbursement and drug procurement data fro...

摘要：The efforts of not-for-profit organizations (NPOs) toward enabling health care delivery in underserved communities across the globe are well-acknowledged. To date, little is known about the workings and sustenance of NPO-enabled long-term health care delivery in underserved communities, and even less about NPO-enabled surgical care delivery. Further, health care delivery in underserved communities is a context that is often characterized by primitive and poor record keeping, data scarcity and ...

摘要：Many developing countries suffer severe energy deficiencies despite their ample reserves of resources - the so-called predicament of resource rich, energy poor. A leading driver is the energy-economy cycle, where poor economic status, inefficient utilization of limited budget, and energy deficiency reinforced each other and led these countries into a spiral of economic downfall. How to turn this cycle around? It is a classic question but not well answered in the energy policy/economics literat...
