Many Operations Management (OM) models assume that people act as forward-looking optimizers in dynamic environments. We experimentally examine this assumption. To cover a wide range of settings we look at several common classes of dynamic decision problems, and characterize behavior as either...

We experimentally study individuals' dynamic resource allocation decisions under a budget constraint, using product development as the decision context. During the development process, a series of design opportunities will emerge to improve the product with extra engineering costs. These...
