Block scheduling in practice: An optimal decomposition strategy for nonidentical operating rooms

Decision Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract We develop and implement a Master Surgery Schedule for a real‐life hospital, assigning operating room (OR) time to surgical specialties over a multi‐week horizon. Through action research, we identify a critical operational challenge: the issue of split blocks. Split blocks allow two specialties to share an OR on the same day—one in the morning,

When in Doubt, Tax More Progressively? Uncertainty and Progressive Income Taxation

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study the optimal income tax problem under parameter uncertainty about household preferences and wage dynamics. We derive conditions characterizing how such uncertainty affects optimal tax policy. To quantify the effect, we estimate a life‐cycle model using US data and a Bayesian approach.

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We highlight the role of economic materialism as a cultural phenomenon of significance in relation to economic transformation and development. By inducing material aspirations, an endogenous cultural change toward more widespread adherence to materialistic values is both a cause and an effect of productivity growth.

Dynamics of High‐Growth Young Firms and the Role of Venture Capitalists

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Motivated by the substantial growth and upfront investments of venture capital (VC)‐backed firms observed in administrative US Census data, this study develops a life‐cycle firm dynamics model. In the model, startups choose the source of financing from VC, angel investors, or banks, depending on their growth potential, and invest in innovation.
