Research Interests

The focus of my research is the relationship between the shipper who has cargo to have carried and the carrier who is contracted to carry that cargo.
This relationship is envisaged from different viewpoints:

    Development of management tools to enhance the efficiency shipper-carrier relationships within supply chain
    management,

    Coordination of action and goals of independent decision-makers,

    Mechanism design using Prinicipal-Agent and Game Theories.
