• Cross-Trained Fire-Medics Respond to Medical Calls and Fire Incidents: A Fast Algorithm for a Three-State Spatial Queuing Problem AI翻译
  作者：Hua, Cheng; Swersey, Arthur J.
  作者单位：Shanghai Jiao Tong University; Yale University
  摘要：Problem definition: We focus on modeling and evaluating an emergency service system in which cross-trained fire-medics are pooled and respond to both fire calls and medical emergencies. Academic/practical relevance: Fire demand in the United States has decreased dramatically in the last nearly four decades, whereas emergency medical calls have surged. With this changing landscape, cities are under pressure to reduce their budgets by closing fire stations. We evaluate the alternative of impleme...

• Revenue Management in Crowdfunding br AI翻译
  作者：Zhang, Jiding; Savin, Sergei; Veeraraghavan, Senthil
  作者单位：New York University; NYU Shanghai; University of Pennsylvania
  摘要：Problem definition: We study the optimal design of crowdfunding campaigns and develop a model that maximizes revenue for a given crowdfunding campaign by optimizing both the pledge level sought from donors and the duration of the campaign. Academic/practical relevance: Our model explains the patterns of backer/donor arrival and pledging observed on crowdfunding platforms, such as Kickstarter. This model can be used to calibrate the revenue impact from using prespecified pledge levels or campai...

• The Impacts of Algorithmic Work Assignment on Fairness Perceptions and Productivity: Evidence from Field Experiments AI翻译
  作者：Bai, Bing; Dai, Hengchen; Zhang, Dennis J.; Zhang, Fuqiang; Hu, Haoyuan
  作者单位：Washington University (WUSTL); University of California System; University of California Los Angeles; Alibaba Group
  摘要：Problem definition: We study how algorithmic (versus human-based) task assignment processes change task recipients' fairness perceptions and productivity. Academic/practical relevance: Since algorithms are widely adopted by businesses and often require human involvement, understanding how humans perceive algorithms is instrumental to the success of algorithm design in operations. Particularly, the growing concern that algorithms may reproduce inequality historically exhibited by humans calls f...
• Contractual Coordination of Agricultural Marketing Cooperatives With Quality Provisions AI翻译
  作者：Qian, Xiaoyan; Olsen, Tava Lennon
  作者单位：Dongbei University of Finance & Economics; University of Auckland
  摘要：Problem Definition: With increasing concerns about the quality and safety of agricultural products, many agricultural cooperatives (co-ops) have begun to specify quality provisions in contracts with farmers. Correspondingly, they are pooling products to quality-differentiated markets and offering quality-differentiated prices to farmers in multiple stages. Methodology/results: We propose a two-stage stochastic program to study the quality coordination problem in a setting where a co-op specifi...
• Vertiport Planning for Urban Aerial Mobility: An Adaptive Discretization Approach AI翻译
  作者：Wang, Kai; Jacquillat, Alexandre; Vaze, Vikrant
  作者单位：Tsinghua University; Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT); Dartmouth College
  摘要：Problem definition: Electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing (eVTOL) vehicles enable urban aerial mobility (UAM). This paper optimizes the number, locations, and capacities of vertiports in UAM systems while capturing interdependencies between strategic verti-port deployment, tactical operations, and passenger demand. Academic/practical relevance: The model includes a tractable part (based on mixed-integer second-order conic optimization) and also a nonconvex demand function. Methodology: We deve...
• The Promise of mHealth for Chronic Disease Management Under Different Payment Systems AI翻译
  作者：Rajan, Balaraman; Sainathan, Arvind; Agnihothri, Saligrama; Cui, Leon
  作者单位：California State University System; California State University East Bay; State University of New York (SUNY) System; Binghamton University, SUNY
  摘要：Problem definition: Rapid innovations in technology have created opportunities for different modes of healthcare delivery including digital services provided via mobile applications (mHealth). mHealth technology has the potential to provide efficient, effective, and patient-centered healthcare to manage chronic conditions. However, the economics associated with the adoption and integration of mHealth into the care delivery process is not well understood. In a chronic care clinical practice set...

  作者单位：State University System of Florida; University of Central Florida; Indian Institute of Management (IIM System); Indian Institute of Management Indore; Cornell University
  摘要：Problem definition: Onion is an indispensable ingredient of the Indian diet, and plays a vital role in Indian economy, society, and politics. The ever-lasting volatility in its prices leads to significant social unrest. In this paper, we are interested in helping decision makers to rigorously evaluate a recent policy proposal to make dehydrated onion widely available to remedy the situation. Methodology/results: Using a stylized analytical model, we look for conditions under which it is optima...
