  摘要：Problem definition: We consider intertemporal pricing in the presence of reference effects and consumer heterogeneity. Our research question encompasses how to estimate heterogeneous consumer reference effects from data and how to efficiently compute the optimal pricing policy. Academic/practical relevance: Understanding reference effects is essential for designing pricing policies in modern retailing. Our work contributes to this area by incorporating consumer heterogeneity under arbitrary di...
• Robust and Heterogenous Odds Ratio: Estimating Price Sensitivity for Unbought Items AI翻译
  作者：Pauphilet, Jean
  摘要：Problem definition: Mining for heterogeneous responses to an intervention is a crucial step for data-driven operations, for instance, to personalize treatment or pricing. We investigate how to estimate price sensitivity from transaction-level data. In causal inference terms, we estimate heterogeneous treatment effects when (a) the response to treatment (here, whether a customer buys a product) is binary, and (b) treatment assignments are partially observed (here, full information is only avail...
• RiRiShun Logistics: Home Appliance Delivery Data for the 2021 Manufacturing & Service Operations Management Data-Driven Research Challenge AI翻译

  摘要：To support the 2021 Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (MSOM) Data-Driven Research Challenge, RiRiShun Logistics (a Haier group subsidiary focusing on logistics service for home appliances) provides MSOM members with logistics operational-level data for data-driven research. This paper provides a detailed description of the data associated with over 14 million orders from 149 clients (the consigners) associated with 4.2 million end consumers (the recipients and end users of the appl...
• JD.com: Transaction-Level Data for the 2020 MSOM Data Driven Research Challenge AI翻译

  摘要：To support the 2020 MSOM Data Driven Research Challenge, JD.com, China's largest retailer, offers transaction-level data to MSOM members for conducting data-driven research. This article describes the transactional data associated with over 2.5 million customers (457,298 made purchases) and 31,868 stock keeping units (SKUs) over the month of March in 2018. We also present potential research questions suggested JD.com. Researchers are welcome to develop econometric models or data-driven models ...
• Decarbonizing OCP AI翻译

  摘要：Problem definition: We present our collaboration with the OCP Group, one of the world's largest producers of phosphate and phosphate-based products, in support of a green initiative designed to reduce OCP's carbon emissions significantly. We study the problem of decarbonizing OCP's electricity supply by installing a mixture of solar panels and batteries to minimize its time-discounted investment cost, plus the cost of satisfying its remaining demand via the Moroccan national grid. OCP is curre...
• Patient Sensitivity to Emergency Department Waiting Time Announcements AI翻译

  摘要：Problem definition: Emergency department (ED) delay announcement systems are implemented in many countries. We answer three important questions pertaining to the operations and effectiveness of such systems by studying the public hospital network and ED waiting time (WT) announcement system in Hong Kong's universal public healthcare system: (1) How many patients are aware of (and sensitive to) the ED WT announcements? (2) How sensitive are these patients to the announced WT? (3) How can the Ho...

  摘要：Problem definition: Human donor milk provides critical nutrition for millions of infants who are born preterm each year. Donor milk is collected, processed, and distributed by milk banks. The macronutrient content of donor milk is directly linked to infant brain development and can vary substantially across donations, which is why multiple donations are typically pooled together to create a final product. Approximately half of all milk banks in North America do not have the resources to measur...

• Buffer Times Between Scheduled Events in Resource Assignment Problem: A Conflict-Robust Perspective AI翻译
  作者：Huang, Jinjia; Teo, Chung-Piaw; Wang, Fan; Xu, Zhou
  作者单位：National University of Singapore; National University of Singapore; Sun Yat Sen University; Hong Kong Polytechnic University
  摘要：Problem definition: In many resource scheduling problems for services with scheduled starting and completion times (e.g., airport gate assignment), a common approach is to maintain appropriate buffer between successive services assigned to a common resource. With a large buffer, the chances of a crossing (i.e., a flight arriving later than the succeeding one at the gate) will be significantly reduced. This approach is often preferred over more sophisticated stochastic mixed-integer programming...
• On the Interplay of Production Flexibility, Capital Structure, and Investment Timing AI翻译

  摘要：Problem definition: Modern technologies have made it viable for firms to lower the costs of switching on and off production in response to market changes. In this paper, we explore how production start-stop flexibility impacts joint operating policies, financing, and investment timing decisions. Methodology/results: We develop a continuous-time, optimal stopping model in which equity holders of the firm make operational decisions regarding pausing and restarting production as well as when to d...
