Random mechanisms for house allocation with existing tenants
(Elsevier, 2020-08)We study the house allocation problem with existing tenants: n houses (stand for "indivisible objects") are to be allocated to n agents; each agent needs exactly one house and has strict preferences; k houses are initially ... -
Optimal peer-to-peer network for streaming multimedia broadcast
(Elsevier, 2020-11)This study identifies optimal transmission mechanisms for a streaming video service in a peer-to-peer network structure as a function of the number of active peers, a common service value, a common discount factor, and ... -
On singleton congestion games with resilience against collusion
(Springer, 2021)We study the subclass of singleton congestion games in which there are identical resources with increasing cost functions. In this domain, we prove that there always exists an outcome that is resilient to weakly-improving ... -
The role of real estate and gold as inflation hedges: the Islamic influence
(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2021-04-06)Purpose This paper aims to understand how aversion to interest income in Islam may influence the demand for real estate and gold when inflation is rampant. Design/methodology/approach According to Markowitz's ... -
A game theoretical approach for improving the operational efficiencies of less-than-truckload carriers through load exchanges
(Springer, 2021-09)Less-than-truckload (LTL) transportation offers fast, flexible and relatively low-cost transportation services to shippers. In order to cope with the effects of economic recessions, the LTL industry implemented ideas such ... -
Welfare and research and development incentive effects of uniform and differential pricing schemes
(Springer, 2021-09-22)This paper is about the application of optimization methods to the analysis of three pricing schemes adopted by one manufacturer in a two-country model of production and trade. The analysis focuses on pricing schemes—one ... -
The effect of hosting 3.4 million refugees on native population mortality
(Elsevier, 2021-12)As of the end of 2017, 3.4 million Syrian refugees lived in Turkey. These refugees left a country where the health system was utterly broken. Several studies report that Syrian refugees faced numerous diseases during their ... -
Stochastic production planning with flexible manufacturing systems and uncertain demand: A column generation-based approach
(Elsevier, 2022)The ongoing pandemic, namely COVID-19, has rendered widespread economic disorder. The deficiencies have delayed production at manufacturers in several industries on the supply side. The effects of disruption were more ... -
On approximate Nash equilibria of the two-source connection game
(TÜBİTAK, 2022)The arbitrary-sharing connection game is prominent in the network formation game literature [1]. An undirected graph with positive edge weights is given, where the weight of an edge is the cost of building it. An edge is ... -
Transition dynamics in equilibrium search
(American Economic Association, 2022)We study a dynamic equilibrium search model where sellers differ in their urgency to liquidate an asset. Buyers strategically make price offers without knowing a given seller’s urgency. We study liquidity and price dynamics ... -
On existence of equilibrium under social coalition structures
(Cambridge University Press, 2022-02)In a strategic-form game, a strategy profile is an equilibrium if no viable coalition of agents (or players) benefits (in the Pareto sense) from jointly changing their strategies. Weaker or stronger equilibrium notions can ... -
Games with switching costs and endogenous references
(Wiley, 2022-05-25)We introduce a game-theoretic model with switching costs and endogenous references. An agent endogenizes his reference strategy, and then taking switching costs into account, he selects a strategy from which there is no ... -
Inequalities in the geographical distribution and workload of obstetrics and gynaecology specialists by gender in Turkey
(World Health Organization, 2022-06)Background: Women often have a preference for female obstetrics and gynaecology specialists (ob/gyns). Following the policy allowing physician selection by patients in Turkey, distribution of ob/gyns by gender across ... -
On optimal toll design for bosporus crossings
(Sosyoekonomi Society, 2022-10)For many years, two toll bridges served commuter demand to cross the strait called Bosporus in Istanbul, Turkey. An underground connection called the Eurasian tunnel had been recently launched to relieve the strait's ... -
Relating dynamic test capacity, digital tracking of countries and COVID-19 Performance: A cross-country study
(Peter Lang AG, 2022-10-05)N/A -
Shelter from the storm: health service access and utilization among Syrian refugees in Turkey
(Springer, 2022-11)Aim: Since 2011, the conflict in Syria has led to the migration of 5.6 million refugees, mainly to neighbouring countries. By the start of 2019, over 3.5 million people had moved to Turkey to seek safety, meaning that ... -
Understanding household healthcare expenditure can promote health policy reform
(Cambridge University Press, 2023)Studies of health care expenditure often exclude explanatory variables measuring wealth, despite the intuitive importance and policy relevance. We use the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey to assess ... -
Production planning with flexible manufacturing systems under demand uncertainty
(Taylor & Francis, 2024)This paper delves into the impacts of an ongoing global crisis on the resilience of supply chains. Furthermore, it proposes measures to address and mitigate the disruptions caused by the prevailing uncertainties. For ... -
Characterizing the TTC rule via pair-efficiency: A short proof
(Elsevier, 2024-01)In the object reallocation problem, Ekici (2023) showed that Top Trading Cycles (TTC) is the unique rule that is strategyproof, individual-rational, and pair-efficient. We provide a short proof of this characterization result. -
On efficient computation of equilibrium under social coalition structures
In game-theoretic settings the key notion of analysis is an equilibrium, which is a profile of agent strategies such that no viable coalition of agents can improve upon their coalitional welfare by jointly changing their ...
