We consider a setting where agents in a social network take binary actions, which exhibit local strategic complementarities. The agents are a priori uninformed about an underlying payoff-relevant state. An information designer wants to maximize the expected number of agents who take action 1,...

In this paper, we study platforms where resources and jobs are spatially distributed, and resources have the flexibility to strategically move to different locations for better payoffs. The price of the service at each location depends on the number of resources present and the market size,...

In online advertising, the prevalent method advertisers employ to acquire impressions is to contract with an intermediary. These contracts involve upfront payments made by the advertisers to the intermediary, in exchange for running campaigns on their behalf. This paper studies the optimal...

We consider the multi-period pricing problem of a service firm facing time-varying capacity levels. Customers are assumed to be fully strategic with respect to their purchasing decisions, and heterogeneous with respect to their valuations, and arrival-departure periods. The firm's objective is...

Motivated by the prevalence of experimentation in online platforms and social networks, we consider the problem of designing randomized experiments to assess the effectiveness of a new market intervention for a network of users. An experiment assigns each user to either the treatment or the...

We consider a discrete time network inventory management problem on a hub-and-spoke network. Each period begins with an initial inventory at each of the nodes in the network, after which the customers (demand) materialize at the nodes. Each customer picks up a unit at the origin node and drops...

This paper studies an information design problem of a retailer in a two-tier supply chain that procures a single type of product from a supplier. The supplier needs to decide on a production quantity by balancing the shortage and the excess inventory holding costs with respect to the...

The recent large scale availability of mobility data, which captures individual mobility patterns, poses novel operational problems that are exciting and challenging. Motivated by this, we introduce and study a variant of the (cost-minimization) facility location problem where each individual is...

We consider the problem of managing resources in shared micromobility systems (bike-sharing and scooter-sharing). An important task in managing such systems is periodic repositioning/recharging/sourcing units to avoid stockouts or excess inventory at nodes with unbalanced flows. We consider a...
