In facility layout problems, a major concern is the optimal design or remodeling of the facilities of an organization. The decision maker s objective is to arrange the facility in an optimal way, so that the interaction among functions (i.e. machines, inventories, persons) and places (i.e....

"Mechanism design is an analytical framework for thinking clearly and carefully about what exactly a given institution can achieve when the information necessary to make decisions is dispersed and privately held. This analysis provides an account of the underlying mathematics of mechanism design...

The tendency of humans to shy away from using algorithms - even when algorithms observably outperform their human counterpart - has been referred to as algorithm aversion. We conduct an experiment to test for algorithm aversion in financial decision making. Participants acting as investors can...
