My research spans across four areas:
A unifying theme of my research is how operational constraints/frictions interact with strategic decision-making. I gained this perspective through working in the healthcare domain, where I came to realize that individuals and organizations rarely make decisions in a free-form fashion. Rather, they operate under convoluted and evolving constraints that define the healthcare ecosystem. This realization has led me to study topics at the macro (policy modeling), meso (supply-chain contracting), and micro (physician behavior) levels:
- At the macro level, my healthcare research on policy modeling is related to organ transplantation. I have studied organ donation, which is essential to expand organ supply but has received little attention from the organ transplantation literature that focuses on organ allocation. I’ve also added to the empirical underpinning of the organ transplantation literature, which had previously been largely theoretical. My work helps inform policymakers by highlighting operational constraints threatening to hold back the organ transplantation system that is not ready to accommodate new policies.
- At the meso level, healthcare organizations’ decisions, especially those related to supply-chain contracting, interact with logistics constraints. In the case of the US influenza vaccine supply chain, I have studied how a key operational metric—on-time delivery performance—molds the interaction between healthcare providers and pharmaceutical firms. I have also studied an innovative Netflix-like contracting model through which healthcare providers gain wider access to prescription drugs essential to public health. Recently, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, my work reveals how a lack of data availability has contributed to shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE).
- At the micro level, physicians make important resource-provision decisions. Accordingly, my work at this level focuses on modeling physician behavior. The topics I have studied include physicians’ test-ordering behavior in an outpatient setting, in which they choose the intensity of care based on clinical, financial, and operational considerations. Another topic involves diagnosticians who rely on referrals from their peers and hence have reputational concerns. I show diagnosticians may strategically under-test to signal their skill levels. In an interventional cardiology setting, I have studied how physicians determine their diagnostic pathways when more advanced tests reduce clinical uncertainty but may hurt their revenues.
While focusing on healthcare, my theoretic interest in information economics has led me to contribute to the marketing-operations interfaces literature: In contrast to this literature that focuses on how marketing considerations influence operational decisions, I study how operational constraints influence marketing decisions. In a series of papers published in 2013, 2016, and 2019, I have challenged the assumption that the supply is unbounded and shown the striking strategic role of limited inventory in incentive design. More recently, I have studied an operations-marketing multitasking problem motivated by the retail setting.
