Research & Beyond

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.
