Mario Kart Is Hard
(Springer International Publishing, 2016-11)Nintendo’s Mario Kart is perhaps the most popular racing video game franchise. Players race alone or against opponents to finish in the fastest time possible. Players can also use items to attack and defend from other ... -
MARIS: Method for Analyzing RNA following Intracellular Sorting
(Public Library of Science, 2014-03)Transcriptional profiling is a key technique in the study of cell biology that is limited by the availability of reagents to uniquely identify specific cell types and isolate high quality RNA from them. We report a Method ... -
MARKARIAN 6: SHOCKING THE ENVIRONMENT OF AN INTERMEDIATE SEYFERT
(IOP Publishing, 2011-03)Markarian 6 is a nearby (D ~ 78 Mpc) Seyfert 1.5, early-type galaxy, with a double set of radio bubbles. The outer set spans ~7.5 kpc and is expanding into the halo regions of the host galaxy. We present an analysis of our ... -
Markdown or Everyday Low Price? The Role of Behavioral Motives
(Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS), 2015-11)We study a seller’s optimal pricing and inventory strategies when behavioral (nonpecuniary) motives affect consumers’ purchase decisions. In particular, the seller chooses between two pricing strategies, markdown or everyday ... -
Market failure in the diffusion of clinician-developed innovations: The case of off-label drug discoveries
(Oxford University Press, 2016-08)Medical doctors occasionally discover potentially valuable new off-label uses for drugs during their clinical practice. They apply these to help their own patients, but often have minimal incentives to invest in diffusing ... -
Market failure in the diffusion of consumer-developed innovations: Patterns in Finland
(Elsevier, 2015-08)Empirical studies have shown that millions of individual users develop new products and services to serve their own needs. The economic impact of this phenomenon increases if and as adopters in addition to the initial ... -
The Market for Borrowing Corporate Bonds
(Elsevier B.V., 2012-08)This paper describes the market for borrowing corporate bonds using a comprehensive data set from a major lender. The cost of borrowing corporate bonds is comparable to the cost of borrowing stock, between 10 and 20 basis ... -
Market selection
(Elsevier BV, 2016-12)The hypothesis that financial markets punish traders who make relatively inaccurate forecasts and eventually eliminate the effect of their beliefs on prices is of fundamental importance to the standard modeling paradigm ... -
Market timing, investment, and risk management
(Elsevier B.V., 2013-07)The 2008 financial crisis exemplifies significant uncertainties in corporate financing conditions. We develop a unified dynamic q-theoretic framework where firms have both a precautionary-savings motive and a market-timing ... -
Market-based Risk Allocation for Multi-agent Systems
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2010-05)This paper proposes Market-based Iterative Risk Allocation (MIRA), a new market-based distributed planning algorithm for multi-agent systems under uncertainty. In large coordination problems, from power grid management ... -
A Market-Based Solution for Fire Sales and Other Pecuniary Externalities
(University of Chicago Press, 2021-03)In economies with a continuum of agents of different types, pecuniary externalities are removed with market exchanges. Agents choose from among various possible prices they want to prevail in the future and buy or sell ... -
A Market-Driven Management Model for Renewable-Powered Undergrid Mini-Grids
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2021-11-24)Renewable-powered “undergrid mini-grids” (UMGs) are instrumental for electrification in developing countries. An UMG can be installed under a—possibly unreliable— main grid to improve the local ... -

Marketing and Data Science: Together the Future is Ours
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2016-11)The synergistic use of computer science and marketing science techniques offers the best avenue for knowledge development and improved applications. A broad area of complementarity between the typical focus in statistics ... -
A marketing science perspective on recognition-based heuristics (and the fast-and-frugal paradigm)
(Society for Judgment and Decision Making, 2011-07)Marketing science seeks to prescribe better marketing strategies (advertising, product development, pricing, etc.). To do so we rely on models of consumer decisions grounded in empirical observations. Field experience ... -
A Marketplace for Data: An Algorithmic Solution
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2019-06)In this work, we aim to design a data marketplace; a robust real-time matching mechanism to efficiently buy and sell training data for Machine Learning tasks. While the monetization of data and pre-trained models is an ... -
Markets And Molecules: A Pharmaceutical Primer From The South
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-07)The Indian pharmaceutical industry has historically manufactured low-cost drugs for the global poor. Activist mobilizations at the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic revealed a vast cost gap between global brands and Indian ... -
Markets for Information: An Introduction
(Annual Reviews, 2019-08)We survey a recent and growing literature on markets for information. We offer a comprehensive view of information markets through an integrated model of consumers, information intermediaries, and firms. The model embeds ... -
Markets versus Regulation: The Efficiency and Distributional Impacts of U.S. Climate Policy Proposals
(International Association for Energy Economics (IAEE), 2014-09)Regulatory measures have proven the favored approach to climate change mitigation in the U.S., while market-based policies have gained little traction. Using a model that resolves the U.S. economy by region, income category, ... -
A Markov Chain Based Hierarchical Algorithm for Fabric-Aware Capacitance Extraction
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011-01)In this paper, we propose a hierarchical algorithm to compute the 3-D capacitances of a large number of topologically different layout configurations that are all assembled from the same basic layout motifs. Our algorithm ...
