Uniqueness in Infinitely Repeated Decision Problems [PDF]

open access: yes
Dynamic decision-making without commitment is usually modelled as a game between the current and future selves of the decision maker. It has been observed that if the time-horizon is infinite, then such games may have multiple subgame-perfect equilibrium

Establishment of an EOQ with Non-Increasing Demand for Two Credit Periods under Deterioration and Time Discounting

open access: yes, 2017
Objective: In this paper, we consider time dependent demand under constant deterioration. The main objective of this paper is to obtain optimal cycle time which minimizes the total relevant cost.

Scaling With Bias? The Role of Founders' HR Knowledge and Experience in Hiring and Managerial Appointments

open access: yesHuman Resource Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT New ventures are expected to continuously add new jobs and managerial positions to meet the expanding demands of scaling. However, the rapid pace and inherent uncertainty of scaling often lead founders of new ventures to rely on heuristics when making these critical hiring and managerial appointment decisions.

Indexical utility: another rationalization of exponential discounting

open access: yesEconomics and Philosophy
This paper is about time preferences, the phenomenon that the very same things are usually considered the less valuable the farther in the future they are obtained. The utilities of those things are discounted at a certain rate.

Last‐minute coordination: Adapting to demand to support last‐mile operations

open access: yesJournal of Operations Management, Volume 71, Issue 2, Page 176-194, March 2025.
Abstract In the highly competitive e‐commerce industry, customer‐facing warehouses are crucial as the “order penetration points” for e‐commerce last‐mile operations. This research examines how warehouses use last‐minute coordination, an unstructured mechanism, to ensure sufficient inventory at the order penetration points. Previous research has focused

Social dilemmas, time preferences and technology adoption in a commons problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Agents interacting on a body of water choose between technologies to catch fish. One is harmless to the resource, as it allows full recovery; the other yields high immediate catches, but low(er) future catches.

Optimizing Monetization Strategies for Generative AI Firms: Implications for Search Engagement

open access: yesPsychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) platforms, such as ChatGPT, have transformed digital search querying behavior, mounting operational costs challenge firms to explore alternative monetization strategies beyond traditional subscription models.

Spatial Image Gradient Estimation From the Diffusion MRI Profile

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose In the course of diffusion, water molecules encounter varying values for the relaxation‐time properties of the underlying tissue. This factor, which has rarely been accounted for in diffusion MRI (dMRI), is modeled in this work, allowing for the estimation of the gradient of relaxation‐time properties from the dMRI signal. Methods With

The Normative Standard for Future Discounting

open access: yesAustralasian Philosophical Review, 2018
This paper challenges the conventional wisdom dominating the social sciences and philosophy regarding temporal discounting, the practice of discounting the value of future utility when making decisions.

Optimal Accelerated Life Testing Design Under Constrained Resources Using Double Deep Q‐Learning

open access: yesQuality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accelerated life tests (ALTs) are essential tools for estimating product reliability under high‐stress conditions, allowing failure data to be collected in reduced timeframes. However, planning effective ALT configurations is a complex task that requires selecting stress levels, test durations, and unit allocations while accounting for limited
