Dr. Gilbert teaches courses in operations management and his current research interests are focused on strategic interactions in supply chains and sustainability.  Current and recent projects include:  

Channel Choice via On-line Platforms - investigates when and why a supplier interacts with a platform via its reselling or marketplace channels.

On the Participation, Competition and Welfare at Customer-Intensive Discretionary Service Platforms - investigates how the design of a service platform affects willingness of service providers to participate, and the equilibrium price and quality offered.

The Implications of Strategic Inventory for Short-Term vs. Long-Term Supply Contracts in Nonexclusive Reselling Environments  - investigates  how a retailer's ability to hold inventory affects the trade-offs faced by suppliers who offer long or short-term contracts.
