Randomized FIFO Mechanisms
Francisco Castro, Hongyao Ma, Hamid Nazerzadeh +1
We study the matching of jobs to workers in a queue, e.g. a ridesharing platform dispatching drivers to pick up riders at an airport. Under FIFO dispatching, the heterogeneity in t…
Matching Queues with Reneging: a Product Form Solution
Francisco Castro, Hamid Nazerzadeh, Chiwei Yan
Motivated by growing applications in two-sided markets, we study a parallel matching queue with reneging. Demand and supply units arrive to the system and are matched in an FCFS ma…
Matching Queues, Flexibility and Incentives
Chiwei Yan, Francisco Castro, Peter Frazier +2
Problem definition: In many matching markets, some agents are fully flexible, while others only accept a subset of jobs. For example, ridesharing drivers can specify on the platfor…
Dynamic Reserve Prices for Repeated Auctions: Learning from Bids
Yash Kanoria, Hamid Nazerzadeh
A large fraction of online advertisement is sold via repeated second price auctions. In these auctions, the reserve price is the main tool for the auctioneer to boost revenues. In…
Driver Surge Pricing
Nikhil Garg, Hamid Nazerzadeh
Ride-hailing marketplaces like Uber and Lyft use dynamic pricing, often called surge, to balance the supply of available drivers with the demand for rides. We study driver-side pay…
Multi-Product Dynamic Pricing in High-Dimensions with Heterogeneous Price Sensitivity
Adel Javanmard, Hamid Nazerzadeh, Simeng Shao
We consider the problem of multi-product dynamic pricing, in a contextual setting, for a seller of differentiated products. In this environment, the customers arrive over time and…
Dynamic Pricing in High-dimensions
Adel Javanmard, Hamid Nazerzadeh
We study the pricing problem faced by a firm that sells a large number of products, described via a wide range of features, to customers that arrive over time. Customers independen…
An Optimal Dynamic Mechanism for Multi-Armed Bandit Processes
Sham M. Kakade, Ilan Lobel, Hamid Nazerzadeh
We consider the problem of revenue-optimal dynamic mechanism design in settings where agents' types evolve over time as a function of their (both public and private) experience wit…
Maximizing Stochastic Monotone Submodular Functions
Arash Asadpour, Hamid Nazerzadeh
We study the problem of maximizing a stochastic monotone submodular function with respect to a matroid constraint. Due to the presence of diminishing marginal values in real-world…
