Mechanism design : from optimal transport theory to revenue maximization
… auctions that maximize the auctioneer's expected revenue. While optimal selling of a single item has been well-understood since the pioneering work of Myerson in 1981, extending his work to multi-item settings has remained a challenge. In this work, we obtain such extensions providing a …

Four Essays on Auction Theory
… this mechanism has perverse effects in terms of revenue maximization.

Three Essays on Dynamic Pricing and Resource Allocation
… We use techniques from supply chain and revenue management, scenario-based robust optimization and game theory to study the behavior of firms in different competitive and non-competitive settings. We develop dynamic programming models that account for pricing and resource allocation …

Modeling Customer Behavior for Revenue Management
… aspects of customer decision making upon the revenue maximization problem of a monopolist firm. First, we study the revenue maximization problem of a monopolist firm selling a homogeneous good to a market of risk-averse, strategic customers. Using a discrete (but arbitrary) valuation …

Revenue optimization for a hotel property with different market segments : demand prediction, price selection and capacity allocation
… produces upper and lower bounds for the expected revenue maximization Dynamic Program (DP), and that the gap between the bounds depends on the probabilistic distribution of the demand. Thus, for high prediction accuracies, the optimal value of the DP can be closely approximated by the MILP …

Economic incentive for output restrictions in the cobalt market
… supply restriction and associated conditions for revenue maximization and profitability in a dominant firm price leadership market is presented. The major focus of the economic framework presented is the magnitude of net demand elasticity faced by a producer considering supply restriction. …

Gender-differentiated constraints in Malian semi-subsistence production: implication for integrated pest management and food security
… on the attainment of food security and net revenue maximization for farmers located in the Koulikoro region of rural Mali. A linear programming model is used to determine how gender-differentiated constraints, size of the household, and potential integrated pest management (IPM) technologies …

The complexity of optimal mechanism design
… work provides a computationally efficient revenue-optimal auction for selling one item to multiple bidders. Generalizing this work to selling multiple items at once has been a central question in economics and algorithmic game theory, but its complexity has remained poorly understood. We …

The structure of auctions : optimality and efficiency
… of constructing auctions to maximize expected revenue is central to mechanism design and to algorithmic game theory. While the special case of selling a single item has been well understood since the work of Myerson, progress on the multi-item case has been sporadic over the past three decades. …

Combinatorial Auction-Based Virtual Machine Provisioning And Allocation In Clouds
… of allocation and also maximize the providers' revenue, which a fixed-price based mechanism is unable to do. We argue that combinatorial auctions are best suited for the problem of VM provisioning and allocation in clouds, since they provide the users with the most flexible way to express their …

Dynamic pricing for airline ancillaries with customer context
… each customer interaction and optimizes expected revenue per customer. The unique nature of personalized pricing provides the opportunity to search over the market space to find the optimal price-point of each ancillary for each customer, without violating customer privacy. In this study, we …

Airline revenue management under alternative fare structures
Airline revenue maximization consists of two main components: pricing and revenue management. Revenue management systems are used to control seat inventory given a forecasted demand to maximize revenues. Fare structures have been constructed by major network airlines to segment demand with multiple …

Two topics in online auctions
… form expression for the auctioneers' expected revenue under pooling is found, and pooling is recommended where it produces a greater expected revenue than no pooling (i.e., our objective is revenue maximization). Pooling is generally found to be beneficial as long as the two auctions are not …

Ancillary services in the airline industry : passenger choice and revenue management optimization
… interested in accounting for this supplementary revenue stream in their revenue management (RM) systems to maximize total, not just ticket, revenue. This thesis develops models for both of these issues, with a goal of providing a better understanding of how ancillary services affect the airline …

Data-driven algorithms for operational problems
In this thesis, we propose algorithms for solving revenue maximization and inventory control problems in data-driven settings. First, we study the choice-based network revenue management problem. We propose the Approximate Column Generation heuristic (ACG) and Potential Based algorithm (PB) for …

Essays in Consumer Choice Driven Assortment Planning
… decision in balancing information collection and revenue maximization, when consumer preferences are initially unknown. By considering utility maximizing consumers, we establish fundamental limits on the performance of any assortment policy whose aim is to maximize long run revenues. In addition, …
