If you love your agents, set them free : task discretion in online marketplaces

Kostami, Vasiliki - 2019

In manufacturing and service operations, flexibility is beneficial for matching supply with demand, but it comes at a cost. In modern digital workplaces, users/agents possess a spectrum of different skills associated with corresponding and variable task preferences: Some are inclined to give up...

Impacts of hospital wait time on patient health and labor supply

Godøy, Anna; Haaland, Venke Furre; Huitfeldt, Ingrid; … - 2019

We estimate the effects of wait time for orthopedic surgery on health and labor market outcomes of Norwegian workers. Our identification strategy exploits variation in wait times for surgery generated by the idiosyncratic variation in system congestion at the time of referral. While we find no...

Dynamic hospital competition under rationing by waiting times

Sá, Luís; Siciliani, Luigi; Straume, Odd Rune - 2019

We develop a dynamic model of hospital competition where (i) waiting times increase if demand exceeds supply; (ii) patients choose a hospital based in part on waiting times; and (iii) hospitals incur waiting time penalties. We show that, whereas policies based on penalties will lead to lower...

Queueing Models for Patient-Flow Dynamics in Inpatient Wards

Dong, Jing; Perry, Ohad - 2019

Hospital-related queues have unique features that are not captured by standard queueing assumptions, necessitating the … development of specialized models. In this paper we propose a queueing model that takes into account the most salient features of … hospitalization time and the traffic intensity, become functions of the queueing model's primitives. We therefore begin by …

Managing price and service rate in customer-intensive services under social interactions

Li, Chengzhang; Jiang, Minghui; Yuan, Xuchuan - In: Journal of business economics and management 20 (2019) 5, pp. 878-896

This paper investigates the price and service rate decisions in a customer-intensive service in an M/M/1 queue system under the influence of social interactions, where a higher value of the service is perceived if more customers purchase the service. The customer-intensive nature of the service...
