PhD candidate Jin Fang will present a paper highlighting a model for the facility location problem which incorporates both location characteristics and rival effects within a business cluster.

About the Research: Location characteristics in the model are predefined selection criteria such as rent, distance, safety and size. Rival effects represent the competition and collaboration relationship among close facility locations in the business cluster where candidate locations are located. The model presented uses data envelopment analysis (DEA) and weighted hyperlink-induced topic search (HITS) algorithm. DEA determines the efficient and inefficient locations as well as benchmarking relationship. The weighted HITS algorithm with the distance parameter considers the rival effects among locations to identify hubs and authorities. The applicability of the proposed model is demonstrated with a case study that rank apartments in the Drexel University area.

Zoom link will be issued upon registration.
