(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992) -
On promotions and advertising policies : a strategic approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991) -
On proprietary disclosures of investment institutions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)We analyze issues related to proprietary disclosures by specialized investment institutions such as hedge funds to their trading counterparties and creditors. In this paper, disclosure can be costly because of the potential ... -
On public debt and exchange rates
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
On some topics of financial theory
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)Thesis consists of three unrelated Chapters, three Financial Economics research topics: (I) Approximate Factor Structure: Concept of approximate factor structure is equivalent to assumption of Arbitrage Pricing Theory ... -
On the explanatory value of condition numbers for convex optimization : theoretical issues and computational experience
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)The modern theory of condition numbers for convex optimization problems was developed for convex problems in conic format: ... The condition number C(d) for (CPd) has been shown in theory to provide upper and/or lower ... -
Online optimization in routing and scheduling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)In this thesis we study online optimization problems in routing and scheduling. An online problem is one where the problem instance is revealed incrementally. Decisions can (and sometimes must) be made before all information ... -
Online optimization problems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)In this thesis, we study online optimization problems in routing and allocation applications. Online problems are problems where information is revealed incrementally, and decisions must be made before all information is ... -
Operating in the shadows : the productive deviance needed to make robotic surgery work
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Though a 2.5-year mixed-method study comparing robotic surgical practice to traditional surgical practice, I explore how crucial outcomes require productive deviance: norm- and policy-challenging practices that are tolerated ... -
Operational decisions and learning for multiproduct retail
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)We study multi-product revenue management problems, focusing on the role of uncertainty in both the seller and the customer decision processes. We begin by considering a logit model framework for personalized revenue ... -
Operations management in a large online retailer : inventory, scheduling and picking
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Online retail has grown rapidly in the last decade. Consumers enjoy the convenience of online shopping and home delivery, as well as a vast product assortment. From the business perspective, serving customers directly from ... -
An Operations Research approach to aviation security
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, aviation security policy has remained a focus of national attention. We develop mathematical models to address some prominent problems in aviation security. We explore ... -
Optimal after all : information-based explanations of behavioral decision phenomena
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000) -
Optimal allocation of resources to clinical trials
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
Optimal resource allocation in a dynamic and stochastic environment : a mathematical programming approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Optimal routes for electric vehicles facing uncertainty, congestion, and energy constraints
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)There are many benefits of owning a battery electric vehicle, including zero tailpipe emissions, potential independence from oil, lower fuel costs, and the option to recharge the battery at home. However, a significant ... -
Optimal trees for prediction and prescription
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)For the past 30 years, decision tree methods have been one of the most widely-used approaches in machine learning across industry and academia, due in large part to their interpretability. However, this interpretability ... -
Optimization and equilibrium in dynamic networks and applications in traffic systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)This thesis discusses optimization problems and equilibrium in networks. There are three major parts of the thesis. In the first part, we discuss optimization in dynamic networks. We focus on two fundamental optimization ... -
Optimization driven approaches for subsidy allocation and supply chain procurement
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This thesis introduces several new models in operations management, that are motivated by practical settings. It studies these models in an optimization-driven approach, employing mathematical programming techniques to ... -
Optimization models and methods for storage yard operations in maritime container terminals
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Container terminals, where containers are transferred between different modes of transportation both on the seaside and landside, are crucial links in intercontinental supply chains. The rapid growth of container shipping ...
