OverviewAI-generated summary
Rodney Thomas's research program investigates challenges and opportunities within global logistics and supply chain management. His work examines how external disruptions, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters, impact freight markets and international logistics operations. Thomas has explored the dynamic effects of the US import air freight market during the COVID-19 disruption and utilized synthetic control methods to assess the influence of major hurricane landfalls on the US long-haul dry van truckload spot market.
Further research by Thomas focuses on sustainable supply chains and last-mile delivery, exploring how information sharing can influence consumption patterns. He also investigates retail stockout costs from a value-in-use perspective and analyzes the development and differentiation of retail media networks. Thomas's scholarship includes a h-index of 20 and over 1,560 citations, with 35 publications to his name. He collaborates with several faculty members at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Matthew A. Waller, Molly Inhofe Rapert, Stéphanie Thomas, and Christian Hofer.
