Uses queueing theory to identify when disclosing queue lengths improves platform revenue under different supply and demand conditions.

3. Huge-Scale Network Revenue Management with Customer Choice: A Parallel Primal-Dual Approach

Donghao Zhu*, Hanzhang Qin, Ching-pei Lee, Yuki Saito, Takahiro Kawashima, and Kenji Fukumizu (contribution order)

Fuli Zhang, Xiaoli Han*, Guoyue Pan, Xiaolin Xu, and Donghao Zhu (contribution order)

Reject and resubmit at IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management

Examines pricing and carbon-reduction decisions in supply chains with heterogeneous consumers.

1. Superiority of Instantaneous Decisions in Thin Dynamic Matching Markets

Johannes Bäumler, Martin Bullinger*, Stefan Kober, and Donghao Zhu (alphabetical order)

Major revision (2nd round) at Journal of Economic Theory

Shows that immediate matching is nearly optimal in thin markets when participants are guaranteed to remain available for a minimum period.
