Improving Affordability and Accessibility for Socially‐Beneficial Services via Government Incentives
Naval Research Logistics (NRL), Volume 73, Issue 7, Page 1116-1140, October 2026.ABSTRACT Many socially‐beneficial services, like dental care, suffer from a dual challenge: Low affordability for citizens and long waiting times due to insufficient provider capacity. We model a government's problem of designing subsidy policies to address this issue.

Information Design for Early‐Stage Dose‐Finding Trials
Naval Research Logistics (NRL), Volume 73, Issue 7, Page 1141-1158, October 2026.ABSTRACT To enhance enrollment rates in early‐stage dose‐finding clinical trials, we propose an information design approach, where the clinical investigator (CI) commits to an information releasing mechanism (IRM) based on the treatment's uncertain efficacy and toxicity to encourage patients to participate in the trial.
