摘要：In this paper, we study the effectiveness of incentives on delivery service time slot choices. In particular, we focus on the use of green labels that specify time slots as environmentally friendly and that intrinsically motivate customers to choose a specific delivery time slot in lieu of price incentives based on extrinsic motivation. We argue that this is important since green labels' intrinsic nature affects costumer choice in fundamentally different ways than price incentives. We conduct ...

摘要：Renewable energy generation at the point of consumption (i.e., distributed generation) reduces consumer's electricity expenditure, and eliminates the cost, complexity, and inefficiency associated with power transmission and distribution. In this study, we address the problem of how a consumer should invest in distributed renewable generation to minimize the total expected cost of meeting his electricity demand. In contrast to the existing literature that focuses on grid-connected, large-scale ...

摘要：Connections across commodity markets create the potential for risk to propagate and for failures to cascade as successive market agents fail. The structure of these networks is, however, often hidden and not directly observable. This article describes methods to uncover this hidden structure and the implications that these hidden connections may have for predicting risk propagation and cascading failures. The results are described in the context of electricity, gasoline, and financial markets....

摘要：Financial and operational risk management are central concepts at the intersection of finance, operations, and commodity risk management. Yet, empirical evidence on their effects on inventory is lacking. We use a fine-grained data set comprising the financial and operational risk management decisions of gold miners from 2003 to 2011 to empirically assess the effects of risk management on inventory. Faced with volatile gold prices, miners may manage (output) risk financially by committing to se...

摘要：US coal-fired generating capacity has shed nearly 25% of its footprint between 2011 and 2018. Multiple factors-regulation, natural gas prices, renewable energy adoption, and environmental activism-have each been lauded by various stakeholders for this trend. To improve our understanding of this environmental technology transition, it is important to determine the extent to which each of these factors has accelerated coal unit retirements. We do so in this study through an accelerated failure t...

摘要：Payment for results (PfR) funding approach, where donors reimburse the non-profit organization (NPO) based on outcomes, is being increasingly adopted in the non-profit sector. However, there is also concern expressed by many voluntary organizations that such a funding approach puts an undue financial burden on small NPOs and could actually be detrimental to social welfare. In this study, we build a theoretical framework to analyze PfR funding mechanisms. We use a sequential game to model the i...

摘要：This study examines the relationship between R&D expenditures and product-market, process-cost, and technological innovation/disruption-related uncertainties. For this purpose, the product-market, process-cost, and technological innovation related uncertainties are linked to earnings component volatilities. Specifically, product-market uncertainty is measured by future sales volatility; process-cost uncertainty by future cost of sales volatility; and technological innovation uncertainty by fut...

摘要：In this study, we examine the effect of the differences in both sales ability and reservation utility on the design of the pricing scheme and compensation contract under asymmetric information. Heterogeneity with ability-dependent reservation utility generates conflicted screening and pooling effects that preclude separating and pooling equilibria, respectively; with which agents may work harder under either centralized or delegated pricing scheme than if they were homogeneous and, in certain ...

摘要：The article Continuity of Care and Risk of Readmission: An Investigation into the Healthcare Journey of Heart Failure Patients won the 2020 Ralph Gomory Best Industry Studies Paper Award. This award recognizes the valuable contributions provided by academic research that is anchored in a deep understanding of industries. In this article, I discuss how my interactions with practitioners challenged me and ultimately shaped many critical aspects of the awarded study.
