Counteracting Quality Deterioration on Content Platforms with Two-Tier Revenue Sharing under Market Uncertainty 市场不确定性下两层收益共享的内容平台质量劣化对策

The traditional revenue-sharing (RS) policy allows platforms to extract the same proportion of revenue regardless of market conditions. Therefore, when the market is poor, creators’ retained revenue may not cover costs, leading them to reduce content quality. To incentivize creators to produce high-quality content, some platforms have decided to give up revenue below a given threshold through an incentive plan named two-tier revenue sharing (TRS). Under TRS, the platform sets a threshold value for charging commissions (the non-sharing threshold) such that the platform only takes a cut of the creators’ revenue above that threshold. We develop a game-theoretic model to study the platform’s policy choice—whether to adopt TRS and how to set the threshold—and the creator’s quality decision. Results show that when the platform cannot adjust the sharing ratio, he prefers TRS when the exogenous ratio (determined by the industry standard) is sufficiently small and the market uncertainty is high. The reason is that TRS can alleviate the creator’s concern about market uncertainty since it can protect the creator’s profit when the content is unpopular. When the platform can adjust the sharing ratio, TRS reduces the platform’s profit even though it sometimes improves the quality of content. Surprisingly, a higher probability of favorable market condition does not necessarily raise the platform’s expected profit under TRS. Moreover, creators may suffer in good markets if the platform switches from TRS to RS. These findings guide managers on adopting and designing TRS, emphasizing its benefits and trade-offs.
传统的收入分成(RS)政策允许平台在不考虑市场条件的情况下提取相同比例的收入。因此,当市场不景气时,创作者的留存收入可能无法覆盖成本,导致他们降低内容质量。为了激励创作者制作高质量的内容,一些平台决定通过一项名为两层收入分享(TRS)的激励计划,放弃低于给定门槛的收入。在TRS下,平台为收取佣金设定了一个阈值(非共享阈值),这样平台只会从创作者超过该阈值的收入中抽取一部分。我们建立了一个博弈论模型来研究平台的策略选择——是否采用TRS和如何设置阈值——以及创造者的质量决策。结果表明,当平台无法调整分成比例时,当外生比例(由行业标准决定)足够小且市场不确定性较高时,平台更倾向于选择TRS。原因是TRS可以减轻创作者对市场不确定性的担忧,因为它可以在内容不受欢迎时保护创作者的利润。当平台可以调整分成比例时,虽然有时会提高内容质量,但TRS会降低平台的利润。令人惊讶的是,有利市场条件的可能性越大,并不一定会提高平台在TRS下的预期利润。此外,如果平台从TRS切换到RS,创作者可能会在良好的市场中遭受损失。这些发现指导管理者采用和设计TRS,强调其好处和权衡。

The advent of unmanned vehicles, such as drones and autonomous robots, presents a promising opportunity to enhance the efficiency and quality of last-mile delivery services. This paper studies a vehicle routing problem involving multiple cargo bikes and autonomous robots, with a focus on realistic loading constraints. Unlike most existing problems that assume single-valued vehicle capacities and customer demands, we account for robots equipped with containers of varying sizes and customers receiving multiple parcels, thereby introducing three-dimensional (3D) packing constraints. To address this problem exactly, we propose a two-stage solution approach. In the first stage, we convert the parcels of each customer into the number of containers of each required size by iteratively solving a 3D packing model with dynamically generated cuts, thereby significantly simplifying the overall problem. The resulting optimization problem is formulated as a set-partitioning model, whose relaxation is strengthened with subset-row inequalities and solved using a state-of-the-art branch-price-and-cut (BPC) algorithm. The BPC algorithm incorporates a bi-directional bounded labeling algorithm, ng-route relaxation, and heuristic labeling techniques to efficiently solve pricing problems with multi-dimensional capacity constraints. Extensive computational results validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. We further analyze the impact of robot speed, travel cost per unit time, robot utilization, and customer accessibility constraints, providing practical insights for last-mile delivery operations.
无人机和自动机器人等无人驾驶车辆的出现,为提高最后一英里送货服务的效率和质量提供了一个有希望的机会。本文研究了一个涉及多辆载货自行车和自主机器人的车辆路径问题,重点研究了现实载荷约束。与大多数现有问题假设单一价值车辆容量和客户需求不同,我们考虑了配备不同尺寸集装箱的机器人和接收多个包裹的客户,从而引入了三维(3D)包装约束。为了准确地解决这个问题,我们提出了一个两阶段的解决方案。在第一阶段,我们通过迭代求解具有动态生成切割的3D包装模型,将每个客户的包裹转换为所需尺寸的容器数量,从而大大简化了整个问题。所得到的优化问题被表述为一个集划分模型,该模型的松弛性通过子集行不等式得到加强,并使用最先进的分支价格-切割(BPC)算法进行求解。BPC算法结合双向有界标注算法、n -route松弛和启发式标注技术,有效地解决了具有多维容量约束的定价问题。大量的计算结果验证了该方法的有效性。我们进一步分析了机器人速度、单位时间旅行成本、机器人利用率和客户可达性约束的影响,为最后一英里的交付操作提供了实用的见解。

We design a decision-support tool that automates a key contract parameter to satisfy supply chain coordination conditions in buyback and revenue-sharing contracts to assist human decision-making. Specifically, after a supplier proposes a wholesale price, the decision-support tool determines a buyback price (revenue-sharing ratio) in the buyback case (revenue-sharing case) according to supply chain coordination requirements. Through a 2 × 2 human-to-human experiment design that varies the contract type (buyback vs. revenue-sharing) and decision-support condition (with vs. without), we compare how automating a contract parameter based on coordination requirements influences human decision biases and supply chain performance differently across two contracts. Leveraging behavioral model analysis, we find that automating buyback price mitigates the supplier’s bias of overweighting buyback costs under the buyback contract, thereby improving supply chain performance and promoting a fairer profit allocation between supply chain parties. However, automating revenue-sharing ratio does not improve supply chain performance under the revenue-sharing contract because it induces greater variability in retailer’s ordering decisions, leading to lower supply chain efficiency. Our findings suggest supply chain practitioners carefully implement such decision aids in practice.
我们设计了一个决策支持工具,该工具可以自动生成一个关键的合同参数,以满足回购和收益共享合同中的供应链协调条件,以辅助人类决策。具体而言,在供应商提出批发价格后,决策支持工具根据供应链协调要求确定回购情形(收益分成情形)下的回购价格(收益分成比例)。通过2 × 2人与人之间的实验设计,改变了合同类型(回购与收入共享)和决策支持条件(有与没有),我们比较了基于协调要求的合同参数自动化如何在两个合同中影响人类决策偏差和供应链绩效。利用行为模型分析,我们发现回购价格的自动化减轻了供应商在回购合同下高估回购成本的偏见,从而改善了供应链绩效,促进了供应链各方之间更公平的利润分配。然而,收入分成比例的自动化并不能改善收入分成契约下的供应链绩效,因为它会使零售商的订货决策产生更大的可变性,从而降低供应链效率。我们的研究结果建议供应链从业者在实践中谨慎地实施这些决策辅助工具。

Due to the uncertainty of information, decision-makers within a group often seek to compare themselves with others to determine whether they are being treated fairly, which introduces significant instability into consensus management. To provide a reliable solution, this study aims to achieve fair consensus in uncertain environments. First, fairness concerns are incorporated into the maximum experts consensus model, measuring decision-makers’ fairness utility levels and revealing the relationship between their opinion adjustment behavior and fair consensus. Additionally, to more accurately and objectively characterize the uncertainty of consensus parameters, we use a kernel estimation method based on historical decision data to capture the uncertain features of both costs and opinions separately, thereby analyzing their impact on fair consensus. Robust optimization methods are then employed to mitigate the decision risks associated with these uncertainties, and various robust data-driven consensus models are constructed. These models not only eliminates the decision risks arising from uncertainty, but also addresses the issue of conservative consensus often encountered in traditional experience-driven robust optimization to some extent. We also developed an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm to solve the robust models. Finally, extensive numerical analysis results demonstrate that our approach produces more stable and reliable decision outcomes.
由于信息的不确定性,群体内的决策者经常试图将自己与他人进行比较,以确定他们是否受到公平对待,这给共识管理带来了重大的不稳定性。为了提供一个可靠的解决方案,本研究旨在不确定环境下达成公平的共识。首先,将公平考量纳入最大专家共识模型,衡量决策者的公平效用水平,揭示其意见调整行为与公平共识之间的关系。此外,为了更准确、客观地表征共识参数的不确定性,我们使用基于历史决策数据的核估计方法分别捕获成本和意见的不确定性特征,从而分析它们对公平共识的影响。然后采用鲁棒优化方法来降低与这些不确定性相关的决策风险,并构建了各种鲁棒数据驱动的共识模型。这些模型不仅消除了不确定性带来的决策风险,而且在一定程度上解决了传统经验驱动鲁棒优化中经常遇到的保守共识问题。我们还开发了一种改进的粒子群优化算法来求解鲁棒模型。最后,大量的数值分析结果表明,我们的方法产生了更稳定和可靠的决策结果。

We investigate the management of stock for a business with integrated online and offline store-fronts selling products facing uncertainty in demand. The integration of channels includes an opportunity for customers to have items sent directly to their home in case of a store stockout. We model a two-echelon divergent, periodic-review inventory model, with partial lost-sales at the store level and an online demand channel. The problem is developed as a Stochastic Dynamic Program minimising inventory costs. For the zero lead-time case, we prove desirable properties and develop ordering decisions based on optimality of a base-stock policy. For positive lead-time, we highlight the effectiveness of adding order caps to reduce system costs. In an extensive numerical study, we improve standard heuristic methods in the literature on costs by up to 19%. Further, we apply methods to real life data for a large mobile phone retailer, Tesco Mobile, with our methods outperforming the internal benchmark method. We show how the company’s target service level can be reached, with a reduction of inventory between 75% and 99% at the store level. By focusing on effective yet interpretable policies, we suggest methods that can be used to aid a decision maker in a practical context.

Dice and Slice Simulation Optimization for High-Dimensional Discrete Problems 高维离散问题的骰子和切片模拟优化

Although much progress has been made in simulation optimization, problems involving computationally expensive simulations having high-dimensional, discrete decision-variable spaces have been stubbornly resistant to solution. For this class of problems we propose Dice and Slice Simulation Optimization (DASSO). DASSO is a form of Bayesian optimization that represents the prior on the objective function implied by the simulation as a sum of low-dimensional Gaussian Markov random fields. This prior is consistent with the full-dimensional objective function, rather than assuming that it is actually separable. By working iteratively between posteriors on these low-dimensional “dice” and a full-dimensional “slice” of the decision-variable space, DASSO makes rapid progress with little algorithm overhead even on problems with more than a trillion feasible solutions. We achieve further computational savings by showing that we can find the best solution to simulate on each iteration without having to assess the potential of all solutions—as is traditionally done in Bayesian optimization—by identifying a small set of Pareto-optimal solutions in subsets of the dimensions. We prove that DASSO is asymptotically convergent to the optimal solution, while emphasizing that its most important feature is the ability to find good solutions quickly in problems beyond the capability of other methods.
尽管在模拟优化方面取得了很大的进展,但涉及计算成本高、具有高维离散决策变量空间的模拟问题一直顽固地抵制解决。针对这类问题,我们提出了Dice and Slice Simulation Optimization (DASSO)。DASSO是贝叶斯优化的一种形式,它将模拟中隐含的目标函数的先验表示为低维高斯马尔可夫随机场的和。这个先验是与全维目标函数一致的,而不是假设它实际上是可分离的。通过在这些低维“骰子”和决策变量空间的全维“切片”的后置之间迭代工作,DASSO即使在具有超过一万亿可行解决方案的问题上也能以很少的算法开销取得快速进展。我们进一步节省了计算量,因为我们可以在每次迭代中找到模拟的最佳解决方案,而不必像传统的贝叶斯优化那样,通过识别维度子集中的一小组帕累托最优解决方案来评估所有解决方案的潜力。我们证明了DASSO是渐近收敛于最优解的,同时强调了它最重要的特征是在问题中快速找到好的解的能力,而不是其他方法的能力。

For this class of problems we propose Dice and Slice Simulation Optimization (DASSO). DASSO is a form of Bayesian optimization that represents the prior on the objective function implied by the simulation as a sum of low-dimensional Gaussian Markov random fields. This prior is consistent with the full-dimensional objective function, rather than assuming that it is actually separable. By working iteratively between posteriors on these low-dimensional “dice” and a full-dimensional “slice” of the decision-variable space, DASSO makes rapid progress with little algorithm overhead even on problems with more than a trillion feasible solutions. We achieve further computational savings by showing that we can find the best solution to simulate on each iteration without having to assess the potential of all solutions—as is traditionally done in Bayesian optimization—by identifying a small set of Pareto-optimal solutions in subsets of the dimensions.
