Priorities in Queues: Regulation and Profit Maximization

 

Wednesday 10 August

4.00pm – 5.00pm

Via Zoom: Meeting Link

Abstract: Left for themselves customers intend to over congest a queueing system. The introduction of upon payment priority schemes may lead to a socially better outcome. At the same time, due to the positive network externalities associated with priorities, a monopoly can make an extra profit by various charging schemes. The talk will review a number of results in this area.

(Based on papers co-authored separately with R. Hassin, B. Oz, and E. Winter).
