  摘要：The proliferation of fake news, more recently multimodal fake news, poses a significant threat to individuals, organizations, and society. While online social media platforms have employed automated methods to combat fake news, they face two notable challenges: the scarcity of labeled data and the diversity of news domains. To enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of online platforms in mitigating the spread of fake news, this study proposes MT-GPD (multimodal deep transfer learning with ga...
• Flexible Revenue-Sharing Contract in a Digital-Content Supply Chain Under Heterogeneous Beliefs of the Parties AI翻译
  作者：Avinadav, Tal; Chernonog, Tatyana; Khmelnitsky, Eugene
  作者单位：Bar Ilan University; Tel Aviv University
  摘要：We study the design of a novel, flexible revenue-sharing contract between a platform and an app developer (or other digital content provider) when the parties hold heterogeneous beliefs with regard to the future income. The current contracts adopted by platforms in reality invoke a policy of two or three commission levels based on historical revenue data. We design a contract in which the commission is a continuous function of the revenue generated by the app or other digital content within th...
• Revisiting Seller Reputation: Impact of Internal and External Reputation on Sales in Online Knowledge Payment Markets AI翻译

  摘要：The emergence of the sharing economy has catalyzed the proliferation of online knowledge payment platforms, empowering individuals possessing untapped knowledge to engage as sellers. Within this landscape, reputation plays a pivotal role in shaping the sales dynamics of knowledge products, which are categorized as credence goods. Unlike conventional sellers, who typically focus on internal reputation-building efforts, knowledge providers have the opportunity to cultivate an external reputation...
• Is In-Game Purchase a Guilty Pleasure? Negative Beliefs and Treatment AI翻译

  摘要：In-game purchases have become the dominant source of revenue for developers of digital games and are critical to the growth of the digital game industry. However, the distribution of in-game purchases among gamers is highly skewed, where a very small proportion of gamers, labeled whales, account for the majority of in-game purchases, and a massive proportion of non-whales spend a minuscule amount. In this study, we explore how to improve in-game purchases by examining gamers' underlying belief...
• Managing Reusable Resources With Usage Time Limits AI翻译
  作者：Legros, Benjamin; van Leeuwaarden, Johan S. H.; Fransoo, Jan C.

  摘要：In reusable resources like vehicle sharing, city parking, and hotel services, resource units are used by consecutive customers for a stochastic usage time and are made available for future customers upon return. We model such reusable resources as Erlang loss systems, where customers who find all units occupied are blocked. Customers are rational decision-makers, and their willingness to join the system depends on factors such as price, time limits, service value, and resource availability. Wh...
• Only a Longish Tail AI翻译
  作者：Liebowitz, Stan; Ward, Michael; Zentner, Alejandro
  作者单位：University of Texas System; University of Texas Dallas; University of Texas System; University of Texas Arlington
  摘要：Prior to the Internet, many industries catering to mass audiences, particularly entertainment industries, tended to have very skewed sales distributions with most sales volume accruing to a small share of products (titles) generally known by terms such as blockbusters. The long tail hypothesis claims that increased Internet usage will weaken the dominance of blockbusters in these industries, so that the large number of obscure products, in aggregate, will become an important, perhaps primary, ...
• Distribution Strategy, Capability Investment, and Government Regulation AI翻译

  摘要：This paper investigates how a manufacturer's internal sourcing capability and government regulation influence the supplier's distribution strategy and the manufacturer's sourcing and capability investment decisions. We consider a supply chain consisting of a supplier that produces a critical component, an independent manufacturer that also has the capability to produce the component in-house, and a dependent manufacturer without such capability. We first consider a scenario in which the suppli...
• Born to Wait? A Study on Allocation Rules in Booking Systems AI翻译
  作者：Huang, Lingbo; Liu, Tracy Xiao; Zhang, Jun
  作者单位：Shandong University; Tsinghua University; Nanjing Audit University
  摘要：Queue-based rules for allocating scarce goods are widely utilized in booking systems due to their perceived efficiency. However, empirical investigations into the externalities and opportunity costs of queuing in multitasking scenarios are limited. This paper reports on two laboratory experiments that compare a queue-based rule with a lottery-based rule by quantifying their respective efficiency losses. Our findings indicate that while the queue-based rule demonstrates superior allocative effi...
• When Costco Comes to Town, Can Adjusting Product Variety Shield Incumbent Stores From Sales Loss? Insights From Retail Collocation, Category, and Preexisting Competition AI翻译
  作者：Wan, Xiang
  作者单位：University System of Ohio; Ohio State University
  摘要：When a competitor enters a market, incumbent retail stores often adjust their product variety to avoid sales loss. However, no empirical evidence has been provided in the literature to justify the value of such product variety adjustments after a rival's entry. One difficulty is that the change in consumer demand due to rival's entry and changes in product variety simultaneously affect incumbents' sales. When changes in sales at incumbent stores are observed after rivals' entries, it is unclea...
• Design and Analysis of Efficient Sequencing Policies for Linear Cold Storage Devices AI翻译
  作者：Cardonha, Carlos H.; Cire, Andre A.; Real, Lucas C. Villa
  作者单位：University of Connecticut; University of Toronto; University Toronto Scarborough; University of Toronto
  摘要：In this article, we investigate the problem of sequencing data requests for linear devices, such as magnetic tapes, to minimize response time in cold-storage solutions for archival data. Tapes are the technology of choice for long-term storage due to their reliability, low costs, security, and significant energy savings. However, physical limitations on tape pose challenges to policy implementation, which must be scalable on low-power hardware. We provide a theoretical and numerical analysis o...
