Improving prior knowledge assessment in process characterization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
A critical aspect of biologics manufacturing is creating a safe, reliable and consistent manufacturing process. The manufacturing process design includes process characterization (PC) experiments to demonstrate process ...
Multi echelon supply chain design for Amazon private brands
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Retailers across the globe continue to grow their private label portfolio to offer customers an alternative to existing brands. Typically, retailers source private label products directly from manufacturers to remove ...
Learning who to target with what via adaptive experimentation to optimize long-term outcomes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
This paper develops a framework for learning and implementing optimal targeting policies via a sequence of adaptive experiments to maximize long-term customer outcomes. Our framework builds on literature on doubly robust ...
Intermediation frictions in equity markets

Estimating demand for liquid assets
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
This paper proposes a simple structural model to study substitution patterns within the class of safe and liquid assets at the extreme short-end of the yield curve (maturity <1YR). I estimate the demand system by exploiting ...
FinTech mortgage lenders solving or exploiting a friction? evidence on risk layering and prepayment risk of conforming loans
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
