More Haste, Less Speed? Signaling through Investment Timing

We consider a cash-constrained firm learning on the value of an irreversible project at a privately-known speed. Under perfect information, the optimal date of investment may be non-monotonic in the learning speed: better learning increases the value of experimenting further, but also the speed of updating. Under asymmetric information, the firm uses its investment timing to signal confidence i...

More Haste, Less Speed: Could Public–Private Partnerships Advance Cellular Immunotherapies?

Cellular immunotherapies promise to transform cancer care. However, they must overcome serious challenges, including: (1) the need to identify and characterize novel cancer antigens to expand the range of therapeutic targets; (2) the need to develop strategies to minimize serious adverse events, such as cytokine release syndrome and treatment-related toxicities; and (3) the need to develop effi...

More Haste, Less Waste: Lowering the Redundancy in Fully Indexable Dictionaries

We consider the problem of representing, in a compressed format, a bitvector S of m bits with n 1s, supporting the following operations, where b ∈ {0, 1}: • rankb(S, i) returns the number of occurrences of bit b in the prefix S [1..i]; • selectb(S, i) returns the position of the ith occurrence of bit b in S. Such a data structure is called fully indexable dictionary (fid) [Raman, Raman, and Rao...
