  摘要：This paper provides evidence that the formation of global supply chain partnerships leads to an increased usage of cross-border financing. The findings are detected in all three major financing markets-equities, syndicated loans, and public debt. Difference-in-differences tests allow us to draw a causal interpretation of our main findings, which also holds in several robustness tests. Our findings suggest that increased cross-border financing reflects greater ability to access global financial...
• Investigating the effects of product popularity and time restriction: The moderating role of consumers' goal specificity AI翻译

  摘要：Online retailers employ various kinds of social and marketing information cues to influence consumers' product interest and purchases. This study focuses on the effects of two types of information cues, product popularity and time restriction on product promotions, on consumers' product approach behavior. It takes a unique perspective by examining how such effects change as consumers' shopping goals become more concrete. The results of a field experiment and a laboratory experiment show that p...

  摘要：Ensuring continuity of care for patients after an intensive hospitalization episode is a complex dilemma that plagues the US health-care system. Despite its influence on health outcomes such as mortality and readmissions, it is difficult to construct policy instruments such as report cards or penalties for improving continuity of care due to the fragmented nature of post-intensive hospitalization care. However, policy instruments that target other related health outcomes can also benefit conti...

  摘要：Carbon emissions reduction initiatives have received considerable attention at the corporate level. Companies such as Daimler, Apple, and Amazon have publicly declared their goal of becoming carbon neutral or net zero in a near future. They are responding to a growing demand for sustainable products and services. Companies have a variety of options for carbon emission reductions available to them, including internal reductions such as adopting renewable energy as well as buying carbon offsets....
• Impact of praise cashback strategy: Implications for consumers and e-businesses AI翻译

  摘要：This study focuses on a broadly adopted but largely underexplored cashback strategy, the praise cashback strategy (PCS), which aims to entice consumers to keep purchases and post positive online reviews. The literature acknowledges the impact of cashback strategies on consumers' purchase and review behaviors; however, it does not focus on how they affect consumers' return behaviors. Moreover, there are few studies on the effect of cashback strategies on consumer surplus and social welfare in t...
• Designing shipping policies with top-up options to qualify for free delivery AI翻译

  摘要：Motivated by the booming online grocery market and the extensive use of contingent free-shipping (CFS) policies in the e-grocery industry, we investigate the optimal CFS and pricing decisions for online grocers. Under a CFS policy, consumers enjoy free shipping for orders exceeding a certain threshold value; otherwise, they are charged a flat fee for orders below this threshold. We adopt a utility-based model to capture consumers' behavior of purchasing additional items to qualify for free shi...
• Improving drinking water access and equity in rural Sub-Saharan Africa AI翻译

  摘要：In 2021, access to clean drinking water was still a luxury for millions of people worldwide. Building new water projects, such as handpumps and small piped systems, is the primary operational response by many nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to bring people their first access to clean water in rural areas of developing countries. Based on knowledge gained from our collaboration with a local NGO and an international NGO and field research in Ethiopia, our research studies where to build new...
• The framework of parametric and nonparametric operational data analytics AI翻译
  作者：Feng, Qi; Shanthikumar, J. George
  作者单位：Purdue University System; Purdue University; Purdue University System; Purdue University
  摘要：This paper introduces the general philosophy of the Operational Data Analytics (ODA) framework for data-based decision modeling. The fundamental development of this framework lies in establishing the direct mapping from data to decision by identifying the appropriate class of operational statistics. The efficient decision making relies on a careful balance between data integration and decision validation. Through a canonical decision making problem under uncertainty, we show that the existing ...
• Switching to profitable outside options under supplier encroachment AI翻译
  作者：Liang, Liang; Chen, Jingxian; Yao, Dong-qing
  作者单位：Hefei University of Technology
  摘要：In practice, manufacturers may encroach on retail markets through a variety of methods, one being through the use of an online channel direct to the consumers, called encroachment. Current research typically assumes that downstream retailers retain procurement from the encroaching supplier. In reality, however, retailers may have the option of switching suppliers after encroachment. By considering a supply chain consisting of one manufacturer and one retailer with outside options, this paper a...
• Managing the security of information systems with partially observable vulnerability AI翻译

  摘要：We consider the security maintenance of information systems where the extent of vulnerability is partially observable. However, the exact extent of the vulnerability can be observed by paying an inspection fee. In each period, the decision-maker needs to take one of three decisions: (i) do nothing, (ii) inspect and implement (fix the vulnerability) if needed, and (iii) directly implement. We prove that the optimal policy follows a threshold structure. For each value of k (the known vulnerabili...
