In this program of research I intend to examine a number of issues related to the efficient allocation of public sector resources.  The research covers two main problems and several variations of each: a budgeting problem, and a purchasing problem.    The budgeting problem is motivated by the following representative scenario: Suppose that an international aid organization wishes to allocate funds to multiple regions, but decision makers within each region will have final control over how the funds are spent.  How should funds be allocated among regions?  The purchasing problem is motivated by the following representative scenario: Suppose that a manager at a drug benefits plan is concerned about inappropriate usage of drugs listed on its formulary and is therefore considering imposing limited use conditions on all new drugs.  How are drug manufacturers likely to respond?  The research will use methods from management science, optimization, supply chain management, and the economics of contracts.  The program will pursue theoretical advances while focusing on applications in budgeting and public sector purchasing, as well as from other areas.

在本研究计划中，我将探讨与公共部门资源的有效配置相关的一些问题。研究内容包括两个主要问题以及每一个问题的几种变体：预算问题和采购问题。 预算问题是由以下代表性情景引发的：假设一个国际援助组织希望向多个地区分配资金，但每个地区的决策者将最终控制资金的使用，那么资金应该如何在地区之间分配？ 采购问题是由以下代表性的场景所激发的：假设一个药品福利计划的经理担心其处方集上列出的药品的不适当使用，因此正在考虑对所有新药施加有限的使用条件，药品制造商可能会如何应对？ 本研究将运用管理科学、最优化、供应链管理和合同经济学等方法，在追求理论进步的同时，重点关注预算和公共部门采购等领域的应用。
