▼ With the increased demands of state and local governments, economists have been addressing a number of new research questions for example; new tradeoffs in taxation, the changing roles of supplying public goods in a federal system, and the impacts of state and local government policies on the distribution of population across cities and rural areas. Motivated by the empirical puzzle that state tax-
revenue volatility increased 500 percent in the 2000s, relative to previous decades, my dissertation considers volatility of tax
revenue as a new tradeoff in optimal taxation. The increased demands for state tax
revenue and state governments' inability to smooth volatile
revenue streams, due to self-imposed balanced budget rules, magnifies budget crises in state governments. I also demonstrate the policies governments enact, specifically taxation and zoning laws, impact the distribution of population across cities. The policies are evaluated within a system of cities model to consider the impacts not only on the population of levels of heterogeneous cities but also the number and set of cities created within a system of cities.

▼ Non-
Revenue Water management is a global challenge affecting developing and developed countries and it is one of the vital elements of water management for any water service providers and Water boards. One of the communities affected by Non-
Revenue Water is Lidgetton Township which is situated in UMgungundlovu District Municipality, KwaZulu-Natal Province. It is a complex task to quantify and characterize water losses. This study investigates possible methods that can be used in Lidgetton to manage Non-
Revenue Water, and the state of readiness for the municipality in measuring and monitoring both aspects of water losses, real and apparent. In this study an attempt is made to identify the causes of high water consumption in Lidgetton Township by assessing the awareness level of municipal employees, and policies used by the municipality to manage Non-
Revenue Water. Questionnaires were distributed to 115 municipal employees from different sections involved in Non-
Revenue Water management, and only 110 were returned. Each questionnaire had 53 questions in total, and was divided into four sections. The data that was collected from respondents was analysed using SPSS version 22.0. A high percentage of respondents believed that water loss can be calculated in general. However, responses showed that few believed that the municipality has sufficient technical capacity to monitor water usage. Almost half of them respondents do not think that the municipality takes Non-
Revenue Water management seriously. The results also show that more than half of respondents think that the municipality should focus on real losses in order to reduce NRW. It is therefore recommended that in order for the municipality to manage Non-
Revenue Water it must acquire equipment that can detect leaks and also measure water usage vigorously. Policies addressing water losses and water usage should be promulgated, adopted by the full council and implemented consistently. It is also recommended that all municipal employees involved in Non-
Revenue Water management related tasks be trained to manage Non-
Revenue Water, regardless of their position and department they are in. Amongst the many methods of measuring Non-
Revenue Water, there are some methods which are not suitable to be used in Lidgetton due to the type of existing water and sanitation infrastructure.

▼ This thesis investigates a coordination mechanism for a supply chain with one manufacturer and one retailer in a single period, single product newsvendor model. It looks beyond the conventional supply chain coordination problem by incorporating a specific form of warranties. The manufacturer provides a free replacement warranty in case of product failure within a specified after-sale interval. We assume that the expected value of stochastic market demand is an increasing function of this warranty period length. The supply chain is coordinated if its optimal actions (production quantity and warranty length) are realized while each party maximizes its own respective profit. Any deviation by either party from the terms of a coordinated contract cannot improve its performance.We consider different types of contracts between the two parties: a wholesale price only or a
revenue sharing contract with shared warranty costs or such costs borne by the manufacturer alone. The manufacturer decides the warranty period, K, and other contract parameters, such as the wholesale price, shares of
revenue, and warranty cost sharing arrangements. The retailer accepts the contract and determines the order amount, as long as it is able to make positive profit. The manufacturer then produces and delivers the order quantity for the selling season. Each party makes its decisions to maximize its own profit, hence the realized decisions may differ from the supply chain’s optimal solutions, if the contract is not coordinated. Thus, we examine whether the supply chain can be coordinated under each type of contract outlined above. For coordinated contracts we focus on the issue of profit allocation. If a contract type is non-coordinating, we attempt to highlight the factors that affect its efficiency, where the efficiency of a non-coordinating contract is defined as the ratio of realized supply chain profit over its optimal profit.The results obtained from this research leads to some interesting managerial insights. Under the wholesale price only contract types, we find that even if the retailer is willing to share the warranty fulfillment costs with the manufacturer, the resulting supply chain profit is less than the optimal value, leading to suboptimal performance. Under a
revenue sharing contract, however, the production/ order quantity and the warranty length are coordinated, if the warranty costs are shared by the two parties in the same proportion as the profits. The profit allocation of each party under coordination is flexible from 0 to 100% of chain profit. This concept is illustrated by a numerical example of additive demand case followed by an extensive sensitivity analysis, which leads to some important insight.The major contribution of this thesis is its novel aspect of considering warranty period optimization towards supply chain coordination. We provide the guidelines for designing a contract between a manufacturer and a retailer so that the supply chain’s performance is optimized in terms of the production/ order quantity and the…

▼ Tourism and Sport
D.B.A.
Developing a good strategy is important in today’s competitive and commoditized lodging market. A good strategy necessitates knowledge of what strategic actions can increase firms’ profits and maintain their profitability throughout market cycles. However, less research effort has been made to date to find and operationalize strategic actions of hotels that lead to higher performance. This dissertation empirically examines both short-and long-run strategic decisions of hotels and their consequences at the micro level, the result of which can be used to develop a good strategy ensuring sustainable success in business. The first part of this dissertation investigates the effect of conformity and differentiation on performance and performance risk of hotels, focusing on their long-run strategic tools—location, capacity, and quality. The second part of this dissertation examines the efficacy of hotels’ room rate discounts in performance recovery after a crisis, in which the price is a hotels’ short-run strategic tool. Using standard econometric methods and applicable variations, this dissertation found empirical evidence supporting hypotheses in both parts of the dissertation.

▼ This dissertation focuses on the general theme of decision support for the area of hotel
revenue management (RM), as well as supply chain management. In the first essay, I explore two research questions: How should the sophistication of hotel RM be measured? And what are the internal and external indirect drivers of the level of sophistication of hotel RM? The level of sophistication is based on decision tree tests, which include four steps: data capture, data foundation, rigor of analysis, and techniques used, including pricing, inventory allocation, and product configuration. Via an empirical analysis, I determine five positive drivers of hotel RM sophistication. My study provides hoteliers with guidelines for determining whether their RM system is at the right level of sophistication given their operating environment, and provides a roadmap for hotels to enhance RM sophistication through efforts to improve both internal and external drivers. The second essay discusses a supplier selection problem with
business volume discounts. I develop a set of structural equations using predictive global sensitivity analysis, which can help managers make strategic order allocation decisions efficiently.

▼ The great recession of the late 2000’s amplified a decline in mainline Protestant church
revenue impacting ministry roles, programming, and missional capability. Trends towards socially conscious corporate
business and historical monastic for-profit
business in Western Europe serve as practical and theological entry points for how mainline Protestant churches might experiment with alternative
revenue sources to withstand market swings and declining giving. The thesis argues that establishing ecclesial for-profit businesses, such as a BBQ restaurant in partnership with the First Baptist Church of Raleigh, North Carolina, is one solution to the emerging problem of declining church
revenue.

▼ This dissertation consists of three papers in revenue management: on-line assortment optimization with reusable resources, spatial distribution of surge price under incentive compatible assignment for drivers and optimal price rebates for demand response under power flow constraints.
In Chapter 2, we study an on-line assortment optimization problem of substitutable products with fixed reusable capacities. At any time, a potential user with her preference model (possibly adversarially chosen) arrives to the selling platform and the platform offers a subset of products from the available set of products to the user. The user selects a product with probability given by her preference model, uses it for a random duration, which is distributed according to a distribution that only depends on the product selected, and generates revenue to the seller. The revenue contribution depends on the product selected and the actual usage time of this user. The goal of the seller is to find a policy for determining the assortment offered to each arrival to maximize the expected cumulative revenue over a time horizon.
We find that a simple myopic policy offering the available assortment that maximizes the expected revenue from a single user at her arrival time provides a good approximation for the problem. In particular, we show that the myopic policy is 1/2-competitive, i.e., the expected cumulative revenue of the myopic policy is at least 1/2 times the expected cumulative revenue of an optimal clairvoyant policy that has full information about the adversarially chosen user sequence, including their preference models and arrival epochs. The proof is based on partitioning the expected revenue of optimal clairvoyant policy into two parts and a coupling argument that allows us to bound the two parts in terms of the expected revenue of the myopic policy.
In Chapter 3, we study the surge pricing problem on a ride sharing platform when there is a demand shock to the traffic network. The goal of the platform is to maximize the revenue by setting the prices over the network and the assignments between drivers and riders. In particular, we model the city as a continuous two dimensional network with exogenous arrivals of baseline riders, available drivers and demand shocks. We consider the demand shock only exists in a short time scale, so the rider chooses to request the ride or not depending on their willingness to pay and the price quoted to them, and the driver accepts any price to provide service. Since drivers can see the price distribution on driver app, they only accept the assignment from the locations that are incentive compatible for them. Thus, the price change at one location may affect the operations over the network and the platform must consider the incentive of drivers when assigning them.
We develop a model for this surge pricing problem and show the structural properties of an optimal solution. Once the prices at the location with demand shock is determined, we can determine the optimal prices…

▼ Dynamic pricing models in revenue management lack the ability to have multiple firms selling multiple product classes. In this thesis, a framework is created that allows for the construction of revenue management models with multiple firms, each selling multiple product types and where the firms have the ability to alter their prices instantly based on market conditions. The framework is a finite repeated game, where the optimal price for each state can be calculated through backwards induction. Conditions for existence of pure strategy Nash Equilibria are proven and conditions for unique pure strategy Nash Equilibria are discussed. We illustrate the pricing dynamics in a 2x1 and a 2x3 model. We recreate the well-known Netessine and Shumsky airline duopoly model but allow the firms to use dynamic pricing rather than booking limits. We find that in all cases the revenues from a dynamic pricing approach exceed those from booking limits. Through the use of three examples we show that our model provides vastly increased revenues over traditional models as it considers cross-price elasticities and how firms should alter their prices in response to the quantity levels of all products in the market.

▼ This dissertation is written in three progressively restrictive parts. Part I is a set of two expansive essays on collaborative supply chain management that proposes several new perspectives and interconnections between current day global
business and economic issues, and the evolving supply chain structures and decision-making paradigms that depend on extensive inter-firm collaboration. Part I also develops new guidelines for both practitioners as well as academic researchers in their quest to incorporate collaborative requirements as an explicit component of existing planning frameworks and modeling approaches. Part I further comments on how the technological evolution of manufacturing, service, and general
business processes have led to decentralized structures that require a fundamentally collaborative approach to the planning of such processes. We also argue that existing supply chain decision-making and planning approaches are modeled in the fashion of corporate and enterprise resource planning systems, which given their scope, limit the extent of collaboration in both planning and in execution. The arguments and discussion in this part are not specific to any particular supply chain function and is without technological bias. The frameworks presented in Part I are also unified in their approach to managing supply chains of service providers, manufacturing partners, or some combination of both types of activities. This unified presentation is also a fundamental contribution of this first part of the dissertation. Part II of the dissertation, while still expansive in scope of application and the range of industry sectors and supply chain environments discussed, develops the ideas presented in Part I for more specific (or functional) categories of
business processes. A commonly accepted categorization of operational processes, at least in manufacturing settings, is into (i) product design and development or related projects, which are akin to services in the nature and interaction between implied tasks, (ii) procurement, production, and customer service processes, and (iii) logistics and distribution networks. Projects are typically represented as a network of inter-related activities bound by a common purpose, and by a time-line dictated by a finite product or project life cycle; activities are also sometimes defined and created in response to project environments. Processes in the procurement, production, customer service, or logistics domains, on the other hand, are typically modeled as a set of inter-related but more loosely coupled activities that are repeated indefinitely across multiple product or project life cycles. Our primary concern in Part II is to understand environments where projects and processes span multiple firms, and therefore require a collaborative effort, not only for executing the activities entailed, but also in the planning of the tasks and projects. Modeling of supply chain management problems (such as those discussed subsequently in Part III) assume that the…

▼ The primary purpose of this study was to determine the influence selected aspects of succession planning and selected demographic characteristics had on the level of success in the succession of family owned businesses (FOB¡¯s) in south Louisiana. To achieve this, the researcher designed a survey instrument to collect data. A total of 61 FOB¡¯s responded indicating they completed succession; however, only 23 or (38%) completed a planned succession to the next generation. An important finding was that having a high quality succession plan had a positive influence on the perceptions of family owned business owners and managers. Another important finding was respondents perceived that planning for succession was important. Perceptions were measured based on a four point Likert-type scale, indicating mean values with a range from 3.52 (strongly agree) to 2.61 (agree). It was based on these findings that the researcher recommended this study be replicated with a larger sample size to further determine the influence that quality of plan has on perceptions of succession planning. In addition, the researcher recommended that organizations that provide consulting services, professional development and support to family businesses, such as family owned business centers connected with universities, local chambers of commerce, and corporate accounting firms, add programs that will educate family business owners and managers on the importance of succession planning and the steps necessary for preparing a quality succession plan. It was based on these findings that the researcher recommended this study be replicated to determine if perceptions of FOB owners and managers regarding their agreement with successful succession items can be confirmed. Also, that ¡°Planning for succession early is important to a successful succession¡± and ¡°Planning had a positive effect on the overall succession process¡± report mean values ¡Ý 3.50. In addition, structured qualitative studies should be conducted to understand the perceptions of why planning is important in family owned business and how and why it increases success.

▼ Rural areas across the U.S. have struggled since the Great Recession, with limited employment growth and significant outmigration. Many public- and private-sector programs are focused on generating economic development in rural areas, but few are formally evaluated. One often-overlooked component required for effective rural development is the generation of local sales tax
revenue, which helps fund city amenities and services. This research evaluates how one specific rural development public-sector program — the USDA's B&I Loan Guarantee program — impacts sales tax
revenue for recipient Oklahoma communities. Sales tax
revenue and census demographic data for all Oklahoma communities that charged a sales tax between 2005 and 2015 is meshed with information on B&I loan recipient communities during that time. Multivariate regression and coarsened exact matching (CEM) techniques are used to assess the impacts on sales tax revenues across all 2-digit Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) retail codes. Propensity score matching is also used for a robustness check of the CEM results. The results from the regression models depict mixed results of the impact that the B&I program has on total retail sales (TRS) and TRS per capita in Oklahoma. During time period one (2005-2010), the regression coefficient for the loan amount variable were positive and statistically significant across all models except one. Time period two (2010-2015) results show little to no significant impact of B&I loans on TRS and TRS per capita. The economic environment during these two periods were dramatically different, with the Great Recession occurring during time one and a major oil boom in time two. The results demonstrate that the B&I program and other similar programs may be more vital during tough economic times when tax
revenue is crucial for rural communities.

▼ Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate how big data solutions in the Swedish healthcare system can generate a revenue. As technology continues to evolve, the use of big data is beginning to transform processes in many different industries, making them more efficient and effective. The opportunities presented by big data have been researched to a large extent in commercial fields, however, research in the use of big data in healthcare is scarce and this is particularly true in the case of Sweden. Furthermore, there is a lack in research that explores the interface between big data, healthcare and revenue models. The interface between these three fields of research is important as innovation and the integration of big data in healthcare could be affected by the ability of companies to generate a revenue from developing such innovations or solutions. Thus, this thesis aims to fill this gap in research and contribute to the limited body of knowledge that exists on this topic. The study conducted in this thesis was done via qualitative methods, in which a literature search was done and interviews were conducted with individuals who hold managerial positions at Region Västerbotten. The purpose of conducting these interviews was to establish a better understanding of the Swedish healthcare system and how its structure has influenced the use, or lack thereof, of big data in the healthcare delivery process, as well as, how this structure enables the generation of revenue through big data solutions. The data collected was analysed using the grounded theory approach which includes the coding and thematising of the empirical data in order to identify the key areas of discussion. The findings revealed that the current state of the Swedish healthcare system does not present an environment in which big data solutions that have been developed for the system can thrive and generate a revenue. However, if action is taken to make some changes to the current state of the system, then revenue generation may be possible in the future. The findings from the data also identified key barriers that need to be overcome in order to increase the integration of big data into the healthcare system. These barriers included the (i) lack of big data knowledge and expertise, (ii) data protection regulations, (iii) national budget allocation and the (iv) lack of structured data. Through collaborative work between actors in both the public and private sectors, these barriers can be overcome and Sweden could be on its way to transforming its healthcare system with the use of big data solutions, thus, improving the quality of care provided to its citizens. Key words: big data, healthcare, Swedish healthcare system, AI, revenue models, data-driven revenue models

▼ Tourism and Sport
Revenue management has been applied to the restaurant industry, but restaurant operators have been disinclined to apply various types of RM approaches, due to apprehension for customer's possible expressions of dissatisfaction. To relieve this reluctance, restaurant operators may need to understand how their customers perceive capacity limitations. While customers are more familiar with RM practices in traditional RM industries (e.g., airlines or hotels) with fixed capacities, perceptions of capacity limitations in restaurants (relatively flexible capacity) may influence customers' perceptions of RM practices. In addition, the price difference between high-demand periods and low-demand periods may have differential impacts on customers' perceptions of value of the restaurant's expected offering and the fairness of RM practices. Based on commodity theory and equity theory, this study hypothesizes that two main effects, perceived scarcity of space in a restaurant and price differences between high-demand and low-demand periods, influence perceived value of a restaurant's offering and fairness perceptions of a restaurant's RM practice.
As hypothesized, the negative effects of price difference on fairness perceptions are supported by the results, but the effect on perceived value has support only from the results of structural equation modeling. Unexpectedly, the main effect of perceived scarcity of space does not influence either perceived value of a restaurant's expected offering or fairness perceptions for a restaurant's RM practice. Interesting results arose found from supplementary analyses and suggest future research directions.

▼ This research explores the factors that challenge the implementation of Revenue Management (RM) in manufacturing industries. Previous research focused mainly on Order Management to explain how RM could be applied with studies that are mathematical by nature. However, there is no empirical study explaining the implementation process of RM in manufacturing industries. This research adopts a differential approach and methodology which aims at filling the existing implementation gap. First, to avoid vagueness, the research proposes Lead Time based Pricing as the specific RM strategy to pursue. Then, the research focuses on creating a roadmap for the RM implementation. In order to create such roadmap, the research focuses on the field of Business Model Innovation (BMI). In this field, the research describes the BM ontology and BM roadmapping, tools which will be used for constructing the roadmap. It proposes to combines BM roadmapping with the BMI process to help facilitating the task of roadmapping and finally, upon the discovery issues hindering the real implementation of RM, the research identifies BMI barriers which are, afterwards, compared with the data collected to confirm its significance on the RM (specifically LTBP) case. With the assistance of Infineon Technologies, a semiconductor manufacturer, the research approach chosen is an instrumental case study with semi-structured interviews as a data collection methodology. The data is quoted, codified and analyzed with Atlas.ti 8.0 and the information is useful to pursue the realization of the BM roadmapping, giving answer to the main research question of this research.

▼ Den svenska vård-och omsorgsmarknaden har sedan dess avreglering för ca 20 år sedan utvecklats. Från att ha varit ett offentligt monopol har vi nu istället en starkt konkurrensutsatt marknad. Konkurrensfördelar som tillväxtstrategi kan nu vara avgörande för ett bolags framgång. Genom en närmast unik möjlighet att ta del av bolagsdata från ett av Sveriges största vård- och omsorgskoncerner har denna studie undersökt huruvida organiska eller oorganiska tillväxtstrategier lämpar sig bäst för vård- och omsorgsbolag som ämnar öka sin omsättning på ett kapitalmässigt effektivt sätt. Datat som tillhandahölls sträckte sig över fem år och innefattade 56 bolag. Studien genomfördes i form av två analyser. En kvantitativ regressionsanalys för att ta fram ett jämförelsetal motsvarande omsättning per krona spenderad i organiska investeringar och en delvis kvantitativ analys för att ta fram ett jämförelsetal motsvarande omsättning per krona spenderad i oorganiska investeringar. Analyserna visade sammanlagt att oorganiska tillväxtstrategier enligt datat är mer kapitalmässigt effektiva med avseende till omsättningstillväxt än organiska tillväxtstrategier. Studien tog dock bland annat inte hänsyn till potentiella synergieffekter från förvärv eller riskprofilen förknippad med de olika strategierna. Det framgick även från datat att investeringar i personal är positivt korrelerad med omsättningstillväxt, medan det inte gick att påvisa en korrelation mellan omsättningstillväxt och investeringar i IT eller generella investeringar.
The Swedish welfare industry has since its deregulation 20 years ago evolved. What was previously a publicly owned monopoly is now a competitive market. Competitive advantages such as growth strategies is now a key for a company’s success. Through an almost unique opportunity to use data from one of Sweden’s largest welfare groups this study has investigated whether organic or inorganic growth strategies is best suited for welfare companies looking to increase their total revenue in an, in terms of capital, effective way. The data provided spanned over five years and included data from 56 companies. The study was conducted as two separate analyses. A quantitative regression analysis was made to calculate a comparison number corresponding to revenue per SEK spent on organic investments. The second, in part quantitative analysis aimed to create a corresponding number for inorganic investments. The conclusion from the analyses was that according to the data, the inorganic growth strategies outperformed the organic growth strategies. The study did however not consider the potential synergy effects from acquisitions or the risk profile associated with the strategies. The study also revealed that according to the data investments in staff is positively correlated with revenue growth, but a correlation between revenue growth and both investments in IT and general investments could not be proven.

▼ The community sector in New Zealand is diverse, and organisations within it receive their income from a variety of sources. Those sources of income are not currently enough to meet real, perceived, and anticipated need. This research looks at one potential strategy which has not been widely used to date, that of
business acquisition, in order to explore if it could provide a viable additional source of
revenue for community organisations, and in what circumstances. Using a transdisciplinary approach, the research considers the use of
business strategies not commonly found in the community context.
The research is based on interviews with eleven chief executives, senior managers and consultants in the community sector who had experience with or interest in the strategy. In particular the research focussed on organisations that had already adopted
business-like practices and met the broad definition of social enterprise. The participants were asked a range of questions designed to address:
1. What conditions need to be in place for a social enterprise to acquire an existing for-profit
business?
2. To what extent is it necessary for an acquired
business to have aligned purposes, values or outcomes to those of the social enterprise?
3. What conditions need to be in place for a social enterprise to successfully run an acquired
business long term, and to ensure its on-going profitability and sustainability?
The research found that the strategy of
business acquisition could produce a viable source of
revenue for community organisations provided a number of relatively complex criteria were met. Three stages were identified for the strategy including getting investment ready, due diligence on an acquisition, and then the effective running of the acquisition. All three stages needed to be done well. In particular the need for skilled governance, a thorough understanding of
business practices, and access to affordable investment capital, were essential to even considering the strategy.
The research also found that if the identified criteria were not met then the strategy of
business acquisition carried the very real risk of undermining the organisation, even to the point of closure. Exploration of risk factors was integral to the research, both the risks involved in the strategy, and the risks involved in doing nothing. Regardless of whether this strategy was undertaken by an organisation, the research found that reaching and maintaining a state of investment readiness was important for organisations to enable them to be proactive and creative in meeting their mission.

▼ In
revenue management practice, the issue of perceived fairness is a serious concern, because
revenue management applies different prices for basically the same service. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of hotel
revenue management pricing on customers’ perceptions of fairness. Specifically, this study explores whether framing
revenue management pricing as discounts rather than surcharges would significantly enhance customers’ perceived fairness. In addition to framing, this study investigates whether customers’ perceived fairness is affected by the fencing condition customers are in. Furthermore, most importantly, this study proposes that such framing and fencing condition effects are moderated by a hotel’s reputation with a
revenue management pricing practice.
This study found that framing and fencing condition had a significant effect on customers’ fairness perception, respectively. In addition, this study found that reputation moderated the effect of framing on perceived fairness. When the hotel had a poor reputation, framing as a discount rather than framing as a surcharge considerably increased customers’ perceived fairness. When the hotel had a good reputation, however, there was no significant difference between priced framed as a discount and a surcharge. This study supports hotel managers to understand how customers perceive fairness in
revenue management practices and also provides hotel managers with broad acceptance levels of the tested
revenue management pricing mechanisms.

▼ To understand the workings of the macroeconomy, it is not enough to simply focus on the movements of the aggregate variables of the economy. It is necessary to also understand the behavior of its various components and their interactions. In this thesis, I study three important components of macroeconomic behavior; prices, wages, and the financial system and their connection to the behavior of the aggregate economy.
In the first chapter (joint work with Andrew Usher), we use retail scanner data to show two previously unknown empirical facts about prices. First, the probability of price adjustment increases with product
revenue. Second, the absolute size of price adjustment decreases with
revenue. These facts are consistent with a menu cost model where the fixed cost of adjustment does not scale with product
revenue. Taken together, these facts suggest that prices of products with higher revenues respond more to monetary policy than prices of products with lower revenues. Over the
business cycle, both the mean and variance of the (log)
revenue distribution across goods decrease with the unemployment rate. These empirical facts imply that monetary policy should have stronger effects on the economy in recessions than in expansions. We verify this property using a quantitative menu cost model, and we provide additional evidence of the state-dependence of monetary policy using aggregate data.
In the second chapter (joint work with Miles S. Kimball), we study the optimal wage structure of a firm with imperfect monitoring of worker effort. We find that when firms can commit to (implicit) long-term contracts, imperfect monitoring leads to optimal wage profiles that reflect worker seniority. We provide a precise definition of seniority as a measure of worker value to the firm rather than the length of service by a worker. The paper illustrates how worker seniority will evolve over the worker's tenure with the firm and how wage, effort, and separation evolve with seniority. We also show that monitoring and amenities reflect seniority as well. To solve the optimal contract problem, we present a solution technique, the ``retrograde approach," of solving complex optimization problems with endogenous discounting and forward-looking state variables in a simple and intuitive way.
In chapter three, I find that system wide runs can be triggered by small shocks to fundamental asset values. Informational frictions amplify small shocks causing large contractions in the amount of credit provided to financial institutions. Asset fire sales exacerbate these effects and force a complete collapse of lending to these institutions; a system wide run. The paper identifies the incentive of healthy institutions to differentiate themselves from distressed ones as the key channel driving the contraction in credit. This contrasts with traditional bank runs that stem from the coordination failures of lenders. The findings lead to direct policy implications; including a government clearing house for loans and quantitative easing.

Estimating truncated hotel demand: A comparison of low computational cost forecasting methods.

▼ The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the effectiveness of six selected low computational cost hotel demand forecasting methods (SA, SMA, EMA, DEMA, BP and PU) in terms of restoring truncated demand data, and then identify a low-cost and easy to follow demand forecasting method that can be used by U.S. independent hotels. Obtaining
revenue gains by applying demand forecasting techniques have been proved by many studies in hospitality and other related industries. However, few studies have focused on low computational forecasting methods' comparison in hospitality field. For this reason, the author decided to test the performance of six selected demand forecasting techniques, with the aim of identifying an effective method for hotels operators constrained by financial resources and expertise.
This thesis first simulates leisure and
business real demand booking curves under a pre-decided increasing rate in each of three leisure/
business ratio scenarios (1:3, 1:1, and 3:1). In the second stage, true demands are truncated in three cases. They are 1) capacity truncation, 2) 50% truncation of total
business demand, and 3) 25% truncation of total
business demand. And then, six selected forecasting methods are applied to the truncated demand. Finally, the forecasting accuracy for each method is evaluated in both statistical and economical models.
The results of the experiment indicate that PU method outperform all the other selected methods and was proved to be the most effective forecasting method for U.S. independent hotels. Other new findings include that the data restoration accuracy ranged from a negative relationship with the
business demand proportion of total bookings, and the higher the percentage the
business bookings were truncated, the smaller the detruncation error occurs. The results also shows that the less the
business booking was truncated; the more variable the forecasting error occurs. An interesting finding of this thesis is that in some specific circumstances, the results of statistical evaluation do not completely in accordance with economical evaluation results.

▼ A fundamental challenge in operations management is to dynamically match spatially diversified supply sources with random demand units. This dissertation tackles this challenge in two major areas: in supply chain management, a company procures from multiple, geographically differentiated suppliers to service stochastic demands based on dynamically evolving inventory conditions; in revenue management of ride-hailing systems, a platform uses operational and pricing levers to match strategic drivers with random, location and time-varying ride requests over geographically dispersed networks.
The first part of this dissertation is devoted to finding the optimal procurement and inventory management strategies for a company facing two potential suppliers differentiated by their lead times, costs and capacities. We synthesize and generalize the existing literature by addressing a general model with the simultaneous presence of (a) orders subject to capacity limits, (b) fixed costs associated with inventory adjustments, and (c) possible salvage opportunities that enable bilateral adjustments of the inventory, both for finite and infinite horizon periodic review models. By identifying a novel, generalized convexity property, termed (C1K1, C2K2)-convexity, we are able to characterize the optimal single-source procurement strategy under the simultaneous treatment of all three complications above, which has remained an open challenge in stochastic inventory theory literature. To our knowledge, we recover almost all existing structural results as special cases of a unified analysis. We then generalize our results to dual-source settings and derive optimal policies under specific lead time restrictions. Based on these exact optimality results, we develop various heuristics and bounds to address settings with fully general lead times.
The second part of this dissertation focuses on a ride-hailing platform's optimal control facing two major challenges: (a) significant demand imbalances across the network, and (b) stochastic demand shocks at hotspot locations. Towards the first major challenge, which is evidenced by our analysis of New York City taxi trip data, the dissertation shows how the platform's operational controls – including demand-side admission control and supply-side empty car repositioning – can improve system performance significantly. Counterintuitively, it is shown that the platform can improve the overall value through strategic rejection of demand in locations with ample supply capacity (driver queue).
Responding to the second challenge, a demand shock of uncertain duration, we show how the platform can resort to surge pricing and dynamic spatial matching jointly, to enhance profits in an incentive compatible way for the drivers. Our results provide distinctive insights on the interplay among the relevant timescales of different phenomena, including rider patience, demand shock duration and drivers' traffic delay to the hotspot, and their impact on optimal platform operations.

▼ In this research thesis, I am attempting to demonstrate that newspapers, despite their current financial troubles, can nevertheless survive and prosper in the digital, new-media era if they can find more reliable ways of raising
revenue. No newspaper can hope to succeed in the contemporary media landscape unless it can adjust its
business model to meet the challenges presented by Internet-based news. With large amounts of news and information available for free on the World Wide Web, newspapers need to reconsider their traditional
business model in order to remain relevant and competitive. Based on my research into numerous proposed economic models for print publications, I believe that the most favorable newspaper
business model would be a combination of selective electronic paid content and Web-based advertising. A model in which newspapers display some of their online content for free, hide other content behind a pay wall, and make extensive use of Web advertising is, in my view, the model that is most likely to enable print publications to prosper over the long term. Combined with using the latest online
media technologies, newspapers will be able to continue their role as disseminators of news, analysis and opinion.

▼ This is a time of upheaval – a revolution, many argue
– of the entire journalism philosophy and newsroom culture. This
is the time to make mistakes, to throw out some of the old rules,
to accept that things won’t go back to the way they were and that
being a journalist right now is scary and murky – and very
exciting.; The truth is, though, for many that excitement isn’t
going to be found in the traditional newsroom. It’s just not.; It’s
going to be something we create ourselves under the loosely defined
term “entrepreneurial journalist” – a mash-up of freelancer,
enterprising beat reporter, niche publisher, small
business owner
…; And Something Totally New.; This project sets out to more
closely examine news entrepreneurship: what is it, what does it
take to make it work, including the culture clash of
journalist-turned-advertiser, and why its key elements are rapidly
becoming part of the journalism school curriculum.

▼ This dissertation introduces and analyzes research problems related to Retail Operations and Humanitarian Logistics. In Retail Operations, the inventory that ends up as unsaleable at primary markets can be significant (up to 20% of the retail product). Thus retailers look for strategies like selling in secondary markets at a discounted price. In such a setting, the decisions of how much to order for a product of limited shelf life and when (if at all) to start selling the product in the secondary market become critical because these decisions not only affect the retailer's cost of procurement and sales revenues obtained from the product but also affect utilization of shelf space, product rollover and assortment decisions of the retailer. Apart from using secondary markets, retailers that sell seasonal products or products with sales horizons shorter than the typical production/procurement lead time also enter into contractual agreements with suppliers. These contracts are in place to share risks associated with unknown or uncertain demand for the product. Presence of such contracts does affect a retailer's order quantity as well as the time to start selling in the secondary market. In our two essays on retail operations, we analyze a retailer's optimal order quantity and when he/she starts selling in the secondary market. We refer to the former as the 'ordering decision' and the latter as the 'timing decision.' These two decisions are studied first without risk sharing contracts in Essay 1, and then in the presence of contracts in Essay 2.
In Essay 1, we build a two-stage model with demand uncertainty. The ordering decision is made in the first stage considering cost of procurement and expected sales
revenue. The timing decision is made in the second stage and is conditional on the order quantity determined in the first stage. We introduce a new class of aggregate demand model for this model. We study the structural properties of the retailer's timing and ordering problem and identify optimality conditions for the timing decision. Finally, we complement our analytical results with computational experiments and show how retailer's optimal decisions change when problem parameters are varied.
In Essay 2, we extend the work in first essay to include the contracts between the retailer and a supplier. In this essay, we introduce a time-based Poisson demand model. We define three di®erent types of contracts and investigate the effect of each of these contracts on the retailer's ordering and timing decisions. We investigate how the analytical structure of the retailer's decision changes in the presence of these contracts. For a given order quantity, we show that the timing decision depends on the type of contract. Our analytical results on the timing decision are complemented with computational experiments where we investigate the impact of contract type on the optimal order quantity of the retailer.

▼ This dissertation investigates customer behavior modeling in service outsourcing and
revenue management in the service sector (i.e., airline and hotel industries). In particular, it focuses on a common theme of improving firms’ strategic decisions through the understanding of customer preferences.
Decisions concerning degrees of outsourcing, such as firms’ capacity choices, are important to performance outcomes. These choices are especially important in high-customer-contact services (e.g., airline industry) because of the characteristics of services: simultaneity of consumption and production, and intangibility and perishability of the offering. Essay 1 estimates how outsourcing affects customer choices and market share in the airline industry, and consequently the
revenue implications from outsourcing. However, outsourcing decisions are typically endogenous. A firm may choose whether to outsource or not based on what a firm expects to be the best outcome. Essay 2 contributes to the literature by proposing a structural model which could capture a firm’s profit-maximizing decision-making behavior in a market. This makes possible the prediction of consequences (i.e., performance outcomes) of future strategic moves.
Another emerging area in service operations management is
revenue management. Choice-based
revenue systems incorporate discrete choice models into traditional
revenue management algorithms. To successfully implement a choice-based
revenue system, it is necessary to estimate customer preferences as a valid input to optimization algorithms. The third essay investigates how to estimate customer preferences when part of the market is consistently unobserved. This issue is especially prominent in choice-based
revenue management systems. Normally a firm only has its own observed purchases, while those customers who purchase from competitors or do not make purchases are unobserved. Most current estimation procedures depend on unrealistic assumptions about customer arriving. This study proposes a new estimation methodology, which does not require any prior knowledge about the customer arrival process and allows for arbitrary demand distributions. Compared with previous methods, this model performs superior when the true demand is highly variable.

▼ This dissertation studies empirical problems in retail operations management and dynamic pricing through three essays. The first essay studies the financial impact of offering faster delivery in online retail. Using econometric policy analysis framework, we study a quasi-experimental setting in which a group of U.S. customers for a large apparel retailer experienced a reduction in delivery time due to the opening of a new distribution center (DC). We show that faster delivery increased sales growth by 0.58% per week following the opening of the new DC, with the effect varying inversely with respect to distance from the new DC. The second essay studies the design of free shipping threshold policy in online retail using transaction data from a major online apparel retailer. We develop models of customer demand and product return behavior that are consistent with empirical data to determine the optimal level of free shipping threshold. In particular, we incorporate a behavior called order padding, in which customers deliberately inflate their orders to qualify for free shipping, and its effect on product return. We analyze the model to show that a free shipping threshold policy is most effective when the retailer faces high product margin, low shipping revenue, low product return probability, and when order padding does not cause customers to delay future purchase. The third essay studies practical issues in large-scale multiproduct dynamic pricing. We partner with a Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise to develop a demand model for its single-game tickets. The demand model is then used to evaluate the effectiveness of dynamic pricing policies. The demand model indicates that due to various practical constraints in pricing, the franchise was unable to benefit from the use of dynamic pricing. We address these issues and use simulation to show that revenue improvement of up to 15% can be achieved through the effective use of dynamic pricing. We also show that a properly calibrated fixed pricing policy based on a detailed demand model can achieve similar levels of revenue improvement as the optimal dynamic pricing policy.

▼ Bakgrund: Finansiella rapporter har en betydande roll på marknaden och kan se olika ut beroende på incitament bakom redovisningsval. Företag kan bland annat påverka intäkterna beroende på incitament. Detta såg man i företaget Enron som försökte möta förväntningar genom att tidigarelägga intäkterna som gjorde att de gick i konkurs. Intäktsredovisningen kan ses som komplext eftersom det är en bedömningsfråga. Ytterligare exempel är företaget Prosolvia som redovisa intäkterna fel vilket även gjorde att de gick i konkurs. Syfte: Studiens syfte är att studera hur tjänsteföretag som använder K3 redovisar sina intäkter och de bakomliggande orsakerna till redovisningsvalen. I studien kommer det även göras en jämförelse mellan onoterade tjänsteföretags intäktsredovisning. Metod: Studien har utförts genom en kvalitativ metod med ett deduktivt synsätt. Empiriska data utgörs av primärdata som har inhämtats genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. Slutsats: Studien kom fram till att K3 tjänsteföretags intäktsredovisning påverkas av egenintresse, legitimitet och förväntningar från intressenter samt samhället. Studiens resultat visar även att det finns skillnad mellan företagens val av metod och konton vid intäktsredovisningen.
Introduction: Financial reports have a significant role in the market and may differ depending on the incentive for accounting choices. Incentives may influence how companies recognize revenue. This was seen in the company Enron who tried to meet expectations by bringing forward earnings that led to bankruptcy. The revenue recognition can be seen as complex because it is a question of assessments. Another example is the company Prosolvia that reported the incomes wrong, which also caused them to go bankrupt. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to study how service companies using K3 report their income and the underlying causes of the accounting choice. The study will also make a comparison between the listed companies revenue recognition. ends K3 reports their revenues and the underlying causes of the accounting choice. The study will also make a comparison between the listed companies revenue recognition. Method: The study has been conducted through a qualitative method with a deductive approach. The empirical data consists of primary data obtained through semi-structured interviews. Conclusion: The study found that the revenue recognition of K3 services companies´ is affected by self-interest, legitimacy and expectations from stakeholders as well as society. The results of the study also show that there is a difference between the companies’ choice of method and accounts in the revenue recognition.

▼ This dissertation empirically examines factors that challenge revenue management practices in travel industry – air-travel and lodging. In particular, it focuses on strategic interactions among firms and strategic interactions between firms and customers. While most traditional revenue management focuses on single firm problems, better understanding competition and customers recently become two emerging themes in both theories and practices of revenue management. Meanwhile, with 20 years' successful implementation of sophisticated revenue management systems in both airline and hotel industries, they have accumulated rich data to better understand threats and opportunities currently facing both industries. Furthermore, with the proliferation of online distribution channels, extensive information has been made available to both customers and competitors. How to utilize such opportunity to understand customers and competition remains a question to both industry professionals and academic researchers.
This dissertation contains three parts. The first part studies implications of strategic alliances in the airline industry. Airlines in the same alliance are competitors and partners at the same time. After alliances are formed, airlines' networks are expected to be consolidated and capacity redundancies would be eliminated, as intensity of competition decreases among alliance partners. However, we find that alliance partners seek to overlap more in their networks. We also find evidence that average prices increase by about $11 per one-way segment coupon in markets where two partners are both present. After ruling out other plausible competing mechanisms, we conclude that these findings are most likely driven by multimarket competition. The second part of the dissertation studies travelers' strategic decision to delay purchases in anticipation of price decreases when purchasing air-tickets. By estimating a structural model on booking and posted fare data, we find that 4.9% to 44.9% of the population are strategic, and that incorporating such strategic customer behavior will increase revenues by 3% to 5% in certain city-pair markets. The third part of the dissertation bridges the two themes by applying a consumer-centric lens to better understand competition in hotel industry. Using online search and clickstream data, we propose a methodology to identify key competitors based on which hotels customers have compared. This approach also provides a network view of localized competition structure. We also find that there is approximately 50% mismatch between competition sets perceived by customers and hoteliers. Independent hotels and distant hotels are usually left out of competition sets.

▼ This dissertation examines optimal solutions in complex decision problems with one or more of the following components: online decisions, model uncertainty and learning. The first model studies the problem of online selection of a monotone subsequence and provides distributional properties of the optimal objective function. The second model studies the robust optimization approach to the decision problem of an auction bidder who has imperfect information about rivals' bids and wants to maximize her worst-case payoff. The third model analyzes the performance of a myopic Bayesian policy and one of its variants in the dynamic pricing problem of a monopolistic insurer who sells a
business interruption insurance product over a planning horizon.

▼ Based on previous research,
revenue management now focus on alternative benchmarks for assessing bottom-line performance. The advent of alternative benchmarks leads to increased analysis of the relationship between
revenue and profitability within hotel management. This thesis builds on previous research of
revenue and profitability with RevPAR and GOPPAR acting as proxies for
revenue and profitability to determine the relationship between the two variables as well as identifying their roles and analysis within
revenue management as
revenue management maneuvers toward a more strategic outlook. Also, this thesis identifies whether affiliation (independent vs. chain-affiliated) and hotel service levels directly affect the correlation between RevPAR and GOPPAR. First, a comprehensive literature review discusses the evolution of
revenue management practices as well as the evolution of performance benchmarking including non-financial performance assessment. The literature review also discusses the roles of RevPAR and GOPPAR in hotel management. Lastly, the literature review discusses characteristics of independent properties and the characteristics of service levels and the visibility of
revenue and profitability within each affiliation and service level.
The empirical results show that affiliation is not significantly related to RevPAR and GOPPAR; therefore, property affiliation does not significantly affect the correlation between RevPAR and GOPPAR. Empirical results do show that Service Level is significantly related to RevPAR and GOPPAR. Results also show how each Service Level affects the relationship strength between RevPAR and GOPPAR. The conclusion discusses managerial and academic implications.

▼ Den Europeiska organisationen IASB och den Amerikanska organisationen FASB gav i maj 2014 ut IFRS 15-Intäkter från avtal med kunder vilket är den nya standarden med anvisningar om hur intäkter ska redovisas. Denna standard började gälla 1 januari 2018 och ersatte de äldre intäktsredovisningsstandarderna IAS 11 och IAS 18. Problemet med de äldre standarderna var att det fanns en svårighet med att hitta den kritiska tidpunkten för rekognition av intäkter. Med anledning av detta var den nya standardens yttersta syfte att klargöra för när intäkter ska tas upp i bolagens räkenskaper. Syftet med denna studie är att belysa de redovisningsskillnader som finns mellan IFRS 15 och IAS 11 samt undersöka vilka konsekvenser dessa skillnader får för bolags intressenter och deras beslutsfattande. För att på bästa sätt kunna belysa dessa skillnader består empirin av egenkonstruerade typfall där de olika redovisningsstandarderna appliceras. Användandet av typfall grundar sig i att det när studien gjordes inte fanns några årsredovisningar som hade IFRS 15 som redovisningsgrund eftersom standarden är så ny. För att kunna bestämma när en intäkt ska tas upp i redovisningen blir matchnings och realisationsprincipen två centrala delar i analysen. Med hjälp av vetenskapliga källor och etablerade teorier analyseras dessa. Vid analys av empirin och vid slutsatserna är det främst intressentteorin som ligger till grund för analysen. Således är de slutsatser som dras baserade på intressentteorin. Studien kommer fram till att IFRS 15 betraktas som något mer försiktig än sin föregångare IAS 11.
