We focus on a simplified problem for a risk-averse retiree seeking to maximize utility associated with annual spending and a remaining value at the end of the problem horizon when the funds are extracted from a portfolio that includes a risk-free and a risky asset. To organize discussions about...

We develop an appointment scheduling model for a healthcare clinic that includes an upper bound on expected patient wait times. We refer to the schedule it produces as an equitable schedule. The operating environment of our focal clinic included three complicating features, all of which are...

We estimate the likelihood of financial distress of U.S. hospitals in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic using AHA Annual Survey data for 2011-2019 and smartphone mobility data for 2020. We find that while the average likelihood of distress across all hospitals is 28.53 % in 2020, slightly...

Our paper advances theory by addressing the problem of expropriation by specialized knowledge agents who create value-generating resources claimed by principals. Specifically, we explore the conditions under which university scientists can redirect the value of discoveries from university...
