Mahsa Hosseini, Joseph Milner, and Gonzalo Romero.

Published article

This paper develops a dynamic relocation policy for car-sharing networks with uncertain and unbalanced demand. Using a fluid-model reformulation, we derive tractable structural insights and dynamic relocation policies that improve resource positioning across the network.

Working Papers

Diverse Assortments in Online Recommendations

Mahsa Hosseini, Opher Baron, Shreyas Sekar, and Azarakhsh Malekian.

This project studies the long-run value of diversity in recommendation systems. When recommendations affect future user preferences or engagement, repeatedly selecting the option that performs best today may be suboptimal. We study when more diverse recommendation policies improve long-run platform performance.
