讲座题目：maximizing the benefits of an on-demand workforce: fill rate-based allocation and coordination mechanisms

讲座介绍：with the rapid growth of the sharing economy, on-demand staffing platforms have emerged to help companies manage their temporary workforce. in this paper, we study how to maximize and distribute the benefits of an on-demand workforce in this new business context. we consider an on-demand staffing platform that serves multiple employers with uncertain demands using a common pool of self-scheduling workers. to compare this method with traditional staffing solutions, we first investigate when an on-demand staffing platform can be beneficial from the perspective of a central planner. next, we propose a novel fill rate-based allocation and coordination mechanism that enables the on-demand workforce to be shared optimally when individual employers and the platform operator make decisions in their own interest. our results suggest that a win-win-win solution can be achieved in an appropriately designed system: individual employers and the platform operator share the maximum benefits of on-demand staffing, while workers are able to set their own hours. （with tao lu and zhichao zheng）
