Balance in resource allocation problems: a changing reference approach
(Springer, 2020)Fairness is one of the primary concerns in resource allocation problems, especially in settings which are associated with public welfare. Using a total benefit-maximizing approach may not be applicable while distributing ... -
Balance in resource allocation problems: a changing reference approach
(Bilkent University, 2018-05)Fairness has become one of the primary concerns in resource allocation problems, especially in settings which are associated with public welfare. Using a pure e ciency maximizing approach may not be applicable while ... -
The effect of stake size in experimental bargaining and distribution games: a survey
(Springer, 2017)We review the literature on bargaining and distribution experiments to investigate whether changes in stake size have significant effects on behaviour in laboratory/field settings. We conclude that experiments in this field ... -
The effects of reference points on fairness judgments
(Bilkent University, 2014)In this study, we empirically investigate the effects of reference points on fairness judgments with the help of the vignette technique. Specifically, we examine (i) whether reference points have influence on fairness ... -
Ensuring multidimensional equality in public service
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021-10-23)Service planning problems typically involve decisions that lead to the distribution of multiple benefits to multiple users, and hence include equality and efficiency concerns in a multidimensional way. We develop two ... -
Ensuring multidimensional fairness in public service
(Bilkent University, 2020-12)In this study, we focus on service planning problems, in which decisions lead to distributions of multiple benefits to multiple users, hence involve fairness and efficiency concerns in a multidimensional way. We develop ... -
Equitable decision making approaches over allocations of multiple benefits to multiple entities
(Elsevier, 2018)In this study, we develop decision support tools for policy makers that will help them make choices among a set of allocation alternatives. We assume that alternatives are evaluated based on their benefits to different ... -
Equitable decision making approaches over allocations of multiple benefits to multiple entities
(Bilkent University, 2017-07)In this study, we develop decision support tools for policy makers that will help them make choices among a set of allocation alternatives. We assume that alternatives are evaluated based on their benefits to different ... -
Fair allocation of personal protective equipment to health centers during early phases of a pandemic
(Elsevier, 2022-05)We consider the problem of allocating personal protective equipment, namely surgical and respiratory masks, to health centers under extremely limited supply. We formulate a multi-objective multi-period non-linear resource ... -
Fair resource allocation: Using welfare-based dominance constraints
(Elsevier, 2022-03-01)In this paper we consider the problem of supporting resource allocation decisions affecting multiple beneficiaries. Such problems inherently involve efficiency-fairness trade-offs. We introduce a new approach based on the ... -
Fair task allocation in crowdsourced delivery
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018)Faster and more cost-efficient, crowdsourced delivery is needed to meet the growing customer demands of many industries. In this work, we introduce a new crowdsourced delivery platform that takes fairness towards workers ... -
Finding robustly fair solutions in resource allocation
(Bilkent University, 2022-07)In this study, we consider resource allocation problems where the decisions affect multiple beneficiaries and the decision maker aims to ensure that the effect is distributed to the beneficiaries in an equitable manner. ... -
In Press, Corrected Proof: Ensuring multidimensional equality in public service
(Elsevier, 2021-10-23)Service planning problems typically involve decisions that lead to the distribution of multiple benefits to multiple users, and hence include equality and efficiency concerns in a multidimensional way. We develop two ... -
Inequity averse optimization in operational research
(Elsevier, 2015)There are many applications across a broad range of business problem domains in which equity is a concern and many well-known operational research (OR) problems such as knapsack, scheduling or assignment problems have been ... -
The influence of distributive justice on lying for and stealing from a supervisor
(Springer Netherlands, 2009)In a controlled laboratory experiment, we found evidence for our predictions that participants who received fair distributive treatment were more likely to lie to give a supervisor a good performance evaluation than those ... -
Morality in competition law: the culture of honesty and trust in consumer protection
(Athens Institute for Education and Research, 2021-04)Recent works in legal scholarship have shifted the focus of competition law to the economic analysis of law. Yet today we face the revival of the fairness concerns in competition polices. This article concerns itself ... -
A new ex-ante efficiency criterion and implications for the probabilistic serial mechanism
(Academic Press, 2018)We introduce and analyze an efficiency criterion for probabilistic assignment of objects, when only ordinal preference information is available. This efficiency criterion is based on the following domination relation: a ... -
Random access over wireless links: optimal rate and activity probability selection
(Bilkent University, 2017-07)Due to the rapidly increasing number of devices in wireless networks with the proliferation of applications based on new technologies such as machine to machine communications and Internet of Things, there is a growing ... -
Solution approaches for equitable multiobjective integer programming problems
(Springer, 2022-04)We consider multi-objective optimization problems where the decision maker (DM) has equity concerns. We assume that the preference model of the DM satisfies properties related to inequity-aversion, hence we focus on finding ... -
Two approaches for fair resource allocation
(Bilkent University, 2018-05)Fairness has become one of the primary concerns in several Operational Research (OR) problems, especially in resource allocation problems. It is crucial to ensure a fair distribution of the resources across the entities ...
