Abstract: In accordance with one or more aspects of the disclosure, a managed marketplace analyzes marketplace statistics across different sub-markets to identify a target supply-demand ratio for each sub-market that balances the degree of supply (e.g., for a service such as product delivery) with the degree of consumer demand so as best to achieve a balance of different objectives. In each of various sub-markets, metric values are generated by corresponding prediction models for each of the supply-demand ratios for that sub-market, and the metric values are combined into a single score to determine how well that particular supply-demand ratio achieves the overall objectives of the managed marketplace. For each sub-market, the candidate supply-demand ratio leading to the greatest score is selected as the target ratio. Policies of one or more downstream subsystems are adjusted so as to shift the current supply-demand ratio of the sub-market toward the target optimal supply-demand ratio.

Abstract: Systems and methods utilize navigation information to prepare electronic documents for display and/or provide electronic documents for display. In particular, in one or more embodiments, methods and systems identify pages likely to be selected for display based on a current page selected for display and navigation information. Moreover, one or more embodiments include systems and methods that determine an order of preparing pages for display based on navigation information. Navigation information includes, for example, navigation direction; navigation rate; a page previously selected for display; information regarding the contents of a page; and data regarding how one or more users have previously navigated one or more pages.
