Empirical essays on dynamic allocation mechanisms
… study how dynamic decision making affects the allocation of public resources. In the first chapter, I study the problem of allocating public housing. In the U.S., public housing authorities (PHAs) allocate apartments using a wide range of choice and priority rules. I evaluate how these …

Geometric modeling and analysis of dynamic resource allocation mechanisms
… is the investigation of a specific resource allocation optimization problem whose solution has both practical application as well as theoretical interest. It is presented as a specific case of a more general modeling framework we put forth. The underlying question asks how to partition a …

Design and performance of resource allocation mechanisms for network slicing
… costs, and the challenge of managing resource allocations among multiple tenants serving possibly mobile diverse customers. When designing shared radio resource allocation mechanisms, it is as important to provide tenants with customization and isolation guarantees, as it is to achieve high …

Analysis of capacity pricing and allocation mechanisms in shared railway systems
… Such coordination requires capacity planning mechanisms that determine which trains can access the infrastructure at each time, capacity allocation, and the access charges they have to pay, capacity pricing. The objective of this thesis is to contribute to the field of shared railway systems …

Allocation Mechanisms in Partially Linked Secondary Spectrum Markets: A Theory And Experiment
… chapter a general model is represented by an allocation of a good from sellers to buyers where purchases can only occur if a buyer and seller are linked or if a buyer is located in the seller's coverage area. First, we study the static part of the model and show an optimal auction design for …

Design and Modelling of Decentralised Task Allocation Mechanisms in Groups of Mobile Agents
… factors. Proper understanding of the underlying mechanisms of division of labour among these social insects would enable more effective designing and developing of artificial swarm based systems which in turn can be used in tackling various real world problems. At the same time, a properly built …

An Agent-Based Modeling Approach for Understanding General Education Course Allocation Mechanisms in Practice
… properties of general education course allocation mechanisms are interesting and important, but it is also important to think about how these mechanisms will perform in practice. Even though mechanisms can be strategy-proof, Pareto efficient, or have several other theoretically provable …

Targeted Priority Mechanisms in Organ Transplantation
… organ underutilization, necessitates innovative allocation mechanisms. This dissertation develops and analyzes targeted priority mechanisms, voluntary incentive-based programs designed to enhance access for disadvantaged patient groups and improve organ-recipient matching. Using a rigorous …

MAC layer resource allocation algorithms for OFDM/TDMA wireless networks
… efficiently. In this dissertation, the resource allocation mechanisms for wireless networks are studied based on frameworks developed from Graph Theory and Game Theory. Centralized and distributed resource location algorithms based on graph theory are introduced that assign both time-slots and …

Combinatorial Auction-Based Virtual Machine Provisioning And Allocation In Clouds
<p>Current cloud providers use fixed-price based mechanisms to allocate Virtual Machine (VM) instances to their users. But economic theory states that when there are large amount of resources to be allocated to large number of users, auctions are the most efficient allocation mechanisms. Auctions …

Applications of global equity style indices in active and passive portfolio management
… searching for practical mean-variance efficient allocation mechanisms in the global capital market, this study develops and examines the long-only, long-short leverage and market neutral strategies from the global size, value and momentum proxies along with the Morgan Stanley Capital …

Adaptive Reinforcement Learning-Based Fuzzer for 5G RRC Security Evaluation
… authentication procedures, and resource allocation mechanisms. It employs Q-learning to optimize fuzzing strategies across multiple protocol stack layers. The framework evaluates the impact of malicious or malformed inputs on a gNB's stability and performance by emulating multiple user …

Fair Scheduling and Resource Allocation for Public Services
… between efficiency and fairness for prediction, allocation, and ranking tasks. First, we dive deep into the real-world application of a predictive model used by the Chicago Department of Public Health to schedule restaurant inspections and uncover the cause of unfairness, constituting geographic …

Market-Based Coordination and Auditing Mechanisms for Self-Interested Multi-Robot Systems
… agent simulations for the coordinated task allocation mechanisms. The experimental results suggest that the proposed mechanisms are scalable and fault-tolerant and work in physical robot systems. We compare the proposed methods to control methods with various performance metrics and the …

Efficiency loss in market mechanisms for resource allocation
… are counterbalanced by the need to design mechanisms that efficiently allocate resources, even when the system is being used by participants who have only their own best interests at stake. We consider the design of resource allocation mechanisms in such environments. The analytic approach …

Towards Quality of Service and Fairness in Smart Grid Applications
… The electric vehicle charging service allocation is modeled with distributed queuing-based allocation mechanisms which are compared to new probabilistic algorithms. Both integrate user constraints (arrival time, departure time, and energy required) to manage the quality of service and …

The economics of US greenhouse gas emissions reduction policy : assessing distributional effects across households and the 50 United States using a recursive dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model
… of the story. My results suggest that revenue allocation mechanisms and new investment trends related to the switch to low-carbon infrastructure are more influential than incumbent carbon intensity or electricity price impacts in determining the distribution of state-level policy costs. These …

Essays on the Economics of Climate Change, Water, and Agriculture
… in which I investigate how different water allocation mechanisms within the prior appropriation doctrine result in differences in producers' crop allocation decisions. I find that water users in irrigation districts are able to plant more water-intensive crops than farmers outside irrigation …

The Changing Structure of Inequality in Canada: A Multi-Level Analysis of Licensing and Education Effects on Wages Within and Across Occupations
… to measure the presence of different labour allocation mechanisms, reflecting the influence of human capital, internal labour markets, and social closure. I also explore the extent of over-qualification and returns to over-qualification to determine how the three mechanisms shape the effect …

The Impact of Interpersonal Relationships and Incentive Structures on the Performance of Actors in Informal Supply Chains
… than formal retailers after a sales agent reallocation. This indicates that disruptions to social/business relationships are particularly harmful when selling to retailers in informal markets. The second and third papers (Chapters 3 and 4) explore incentive design for distributed-task …
