"Cooperation in Queueing Systems", Rosokha, Yaroslav and Wei, Chen
Abstract:We study a social dilemma in a single-queue system in which human servers have discretion over the e ort with which to process orders that arrive stochastically.
We show theoretically that the efficient outcome in the form of high effort can be sustained in the subgame perfect equilibrium if the interactions are long term
(even when each server has a short-term incentive to free ride and provide low effort). In addition, we show that queue visibility plays an important role in the type of strategies that can sustain a high-e ort equilibrium. In particular, we show that limiting feedback about the current state of the queue may be beneficial if servers are patient enough. We conduct two controlled lab experiments to test the
theoretical predictions, and find that effort increases with the expected duration of an interaction. We also nd that visibility has a strong impact on the strategies that
human subjects use to provide effort in a dynamic setting. We discuss implications for managers and firms that are trying to improve service systems.

"Blood Allocation with Replacement Donors: A Theory of Multi-Unit Exchange withCompatibility-based Preferences"
Abstract:In 56 developing and developed countries, blood component donations by volunteer non-remunerated donors can only meet less than 50% of the demand. In these countries, blood banks rely heavily on replacement donor programs that provide blood to patients in return for donations made by their close relatives or friends. These programs appear to be disorganized, non-transparent, and inefficient. We introduce the design of replacement donor programs and blood allocation schemes as a new application of market design. We formulate a general blood allocation and replacement donation model. Within this framework, we introduce optimal blood allocation mechanisms that accommodate fairness, efficiency, and other allocation objectives, together with endogenous exchange rates between received and donated blood units beyond the classical one-for-one exchange. Additionally, the mechanisms provide correct incentives for the patients to bring forward as many replacement donors as possible. This framework and the mechanism class can also apply to general applications of multi-unit exchange of indivisible goods with compatibility-based preferences beyond blood allocation.
