Submodularity of a Set Label Disagreement Function

open access: yesCoRR, 2013
A set label disagreement function is defined over the number of variables that deviates from the dominant label. The dominant label is the value assumed by the largest number of variables within a set of binary variables.

Assessing second‐price auctions for parcel exchanges in last‐mile logistics

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, Page 1040-1071, March 2027.
Abstract The rapid growth of e‐commerce has led to multiple carriers operating in the same regions, creating opportunities for collaboration. However, logistics companies typically operate independently, leading to inefficiencies. Horizontal cooperation, where carriers share resources and infrastructure, can improve efficiency and reduce costs.

Security Design Under Common‐Value Competition

open access: yesEconometrica, Volume 94, Issue 5, Page 1717-1759, September 2026.
This paper studies security design by bidders with dispersed information about a common‐value investment opportunity.
