data envelopment analysis (dea) measures the relative efficiency of decision making units (dmus) with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. dea-based malmquist productivity index measures the productivity change over time. we propose a dynamic dea model involving network structure in each period within the framework a dea. we have previously published the network dea (ndea) and the dynamic dea ...

In the presence of network externalities, product features compatible with standards and larger installed bases of the relevant technologies lead to expanded market shares and increased customer valuation. Our research finds that firms which collaborate with other organizations do so to enhance product compatibility and expand their installed bases. We study the effects of such cooperative stra...

In recent years, enriching traditional revenue management models by considering the customer choice behavior has been a main challenge for researchers. The terminology for the airline application is used as representative of the problem. A popular and an efficient model considering these behaviors is choice-based deterministic linear programming (CDLP). This model assumes that each customer bel...

Cellular network service providers are trying to expand their capacity to accommodate the increasing mobile traffic demand by adopting new mobile technologies like user proximity based Device-to-Device (D2D) communication underlying existing Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) cellular network, which is a promising technology to overcome legacy cellular network’s congestion. D2D communication ...

The convergence of IP and optical network through the GMPLS common control plane motivates a new paradigm of integrated network management, in which multiple network layers cooperate to make the most use of available network resources. We illustrate how this new management paradigm makes possible intelligent survivable networks. We propose four components necessary to achieve differentiated end...

Among structured Peer-to-Peer systems, Chord has a general popularity due to its salient features like simplicity, high scalability, small path length with respect to network size, and flexibility on node join and departure. However, Chord doesn’t take into account the topology of underlying physical network when a new node is being added to the system, thus resulting in high routing late...

In the future IP networks, a wide range of different service classes must be supported and different classes of customers will pay different prices for their used network resources based on Service-Level-Agreements. In this paper, we link resource allocation scheme with pricing strategies and explore the problem of maximizing the revenue of network providers by resource allocation among multipl...

We study the problem of revenue maximization in the marketing model for social networks introduced by (Hartline, Mirrokni, Sundararajan, WWW ’08). In this setting, a digital product is sold to a set of potential buyers under positive externalities, and the seller seeks for a marketing strategy, namely an ordering in which he approaches the buyers and the prices offered to them, that maximizes h...

This paper examines a revenue neutral green tax reform along the lines of the Double Dividend hypothesis. Using a dynamic general equilibrium model calibrated to the US economy, we find that increasing gasoline taxes and using the revenue to reduce capital income taxes does indeed deliver both types of welfare gains: from higher consumption of market goods ( an efficiency dividend), and from a ...

Big data has the potential to improve the quality of services; enable infrastructure that businesses depend on to adapt continually and efficiently; improve the performance of employees; help organizations better understand customers; and reduce liability risks. Analytics and marketing models of fixed and mobile operators are falling short in combating churn and declining revenue per user. Big ...
