Yonatan Gur's primary research lies in the intersection of revenue management and service operations, with a focus on (i) developing principles and practical methods of data-driven learning and sequential optimization in dynamic and strategic environments; and (ii) study the implications of these on service provision in online marketplaces and platforms, including ad auction platforms, recommendation systems, and social networks. Such markets present competitive landscapes characterized by complexity, uncertainty, and non-stationarity. These features drive new operational challenges that are fundamental for increasing revenue streams as well as for maintaining long-run sustainability in many online services.
