• The Value of Response Time Information in Supply Chain Bargaining AI翻译
  作者：Chen, Fadong; Zhao, Yingshuai; Thonemann, Ulrich
  作者单位：Zhejiang University; Zhejiang University; University of Cologne
  摘要：Problem definition: We analyzed the value of response time information in supply chain bargaining and how the transparency of response times affects bargaining dynamics and outcomes. Academic/practical relevance: The research on supply chain bargaining has focused on agents' choices, whereas the value of process data, such as response times, has received limited attention. The process data underlying a decision can contain valuable information about the agents' preference. Methodology: We cond...
• On the Participation, Competition and Welfare at Customer-Intensive Discretionary Service Platforms AI翻译
  作者：Liu, Yixuan; Wang, Xiaofang; Gilbert, Stephen; Lai, Guoming
  作者单位：China Europe International Business School; Renmin University of China; University of Texas System; University of Texas Austin
  摘要：Problem definition: We investigate the participation, competition, and welfare at platforms that focus on customer-intensive discretionary services, such as healthcare, legal, and business consulting. Academic/practical relevance: Such platforms have recently emerged in practice to provide a venue for independent professionals and service seekers to match online. Methodology: We develop a strategic queueingmodel, where the platform sets the commission rate, upon which service providers decide ...
• Minimum Earnings Regulation and the Stability of Marketplaces AI翻译
  作者：Asadpour, Arash; Lobel, Ilan; van Ryzin, Garrett

  摘要：Problem definition: NewYork City and Seattle recently enacted minimum earnings regulations for ride-hailing providers that are based on their utilization rates. The regulations are intended to deliver minimum earnings while preserving the flexibility of the independent contractor model of work. Academic/practical relevance: This kind of regulation has the potential to impact marketplace stability, which we define as the ability of platforms to keep wages bounded while maintaining the current f...
• Real-Time Integrated Learning and Decision Making for Cumulative Shock Degradation AI翻译
  作者：Drent, Collin; Drent, Melvin; Arts, Joachim; Kapodistria, Stella
  作者单位：Eindhoven University of Technology; Eindhoven University of Technology; University of Luxembourg
  摘要：Problem definition: Unexpected failures of equipment can have severe consequences and costs. Such unexpected failures can be prevented by performing preventive replacement based on real-time degradation data. We study a component that degrades according to a compound Poisson process and fails when the degradation exceeds the failure threshold. An online sensor measures the degradation in real time, but interventions are only possible during planned downtime. Academic/practical relevance: We ch...
• Price Discrimination and Inventory Allocation in Bertrand Competition AI翻译
  作者：Cohen, Maxime C.; Jacquillat, Alexandre; Song, Haotian
  作者单位：McGill University; Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT); Zhejiang University
  摘要：Problem definition: It is common practice for firms to deploy strategies based on customer segmentation (by clustering customers into different segments) and price discrimination (by offering different prices to different customer segments). Price discrimination, although seemingly beneficial, can hurt firms in competitive environments. Academic/practical relevance: It is thus critical for firms to understand when to engage in price discrimination and how to support discriminatory pricing prac...
• The Impact of Committing to Customer Orders in Online Retail AI翻译
  作者：Figueira, Goncalo; van Jaarsveld, Willem; Amorim, Pedro; Fransoo, Jan C.
  作者单位：INESC TEC; Universidade do Porto; Eindhoven University of Technology; Tilburg University
  摘要：Problem definition: Online retailers are on a consistent drive to increase on-time delivery and reduce customer lead time. However, in reality, an increasing share of consumers places orders early. Academic/practical relevance: Such advance demand information can be deployed strategically to reduce costs and improve the customer service experience. This requires inventory and allocation policies that make optimal use of this information and that induce consumers to place their orders early. An...
• Evaluating Count Prioritization Procedures for Improving Inventory Accuracy in Retail Stores AI翻译
  作者：DeHoratius, Nicole; Holzapfel, Andreas; Kuhn, Heinrich; Mersereau, Adam J.; Sternbeck, Michael
  作者单位：University of Chicago; University of North Carolina; University of North Carolina Chapel Hill
  摘要：Problem definition: We compare several approaches for generating a prioritized list of items to be counted in a retail store, with the objective of detecting inventory record inaccuracy and unknown out of stocks. Academic/practical relevance: We consider both rule-based approaches, which sort items based on heuristic indices, and model-based approaches, which maintain probability distributions for the true inventory levels updated based on sales and replenishment observations. Methodology: Our...
• Sequential Bidding for Merging in Algorithmic Traffic AI翻译
  作者：Markakis, Mihalis G.; Talluri, Kalyan; Tikhonenko, Dmitrii
  作者单位：University of Navarra; IESE Business School; Imperial College London
  摘要：Problem definition: We consider the problem of resolving ad hoc unpredictable congestion in environments where customers have private time valuations. We investigate the design of fair, efficient, budget-balanced, and implementable bidding mechanisms for observable queues. Academic/practical relevance: Our primary motivation comes from merging in algorithmic traffic, i.e., a driver wishing to merge in a relatively dense platoon of vehicles in a coordinated and efficient way, using intervehicle...
• Trade and Foreign Economic Policy Uncertainty in Supply Chain Networks: Who Comes Home? AI翻译
  作者：Ben Charoenwong; Han, Miaozhe; Wu, Jing
  作者单位：National University of Singapore; Chinese University of Hong Kong
  摘要：Problem definition: The uncertainty around trade and foreign economic policy contributes to supply chain risk. Academic/practical relevance: Whether such policy uncertainty will bring some production back to the United States or only redistribute the global supply chains among foreign sources is theoretically ambiguous and warrants an empirical analysis. In this paper, we study the relationship between trade and foreign economic policy uncertainty and the supply chain networks of American firm...
• Estimating the Stockout-Based Demand Spillover Effect in a Fashion Retail Setting AI翻译
  作者：Li, Songtao; Lu, Lauren Xiaoyuan; Lu, Susan Feng; Huang, Simin
  作者单位：Tsinghua University; Alibaba Group; Dartmouth College; Purdue University System; Purdue University
  摘要：Problem definition: In brick-and-mortar fashion retail stores, inventory stockouts are frequent. When a specific size of a fashion product is out of stock, the unmet demand might not be completely lost because of spillovers to adjacent sizes of the same style or to other styles. Little research has been done to study consumer response to stockouts of fashion products because researchers had limited access to proprietary data of fashion retailers and because it is challenging to estimate stocko...
