  摘要：We empirically investigate the effects of a borrower's choice of auction-based pricing mechanisms and her social characteristics on listing outcomes and loan performance in online lending. Analyzing data from a leading online lending platform, we find that the borrower's choice of borrower pricing mechanism and being affiliated with a group are both associated with higher funding probability; thus, the lenders may interpret them as positive signals of creditworthiness of the borrower. However,...
• Managing Cellphone Services for Customer Satisfaction: Evidence from the Base-of-the-Pyramid Markets AI翻译

  摘要：This study investigates how value-added services (VAS) and customer care services (CCS) moderate the association between satisfaction with the core telephone service and overall customer satisfaction in base-of-the-pyramid (BOP) markets. We propose that customers respond to VAS and CCS differently due to variations in price evaluations of these services. We further examine how the interactions among the service dimensions may differ for local and global telephone providers. We used an archival...
• Cloud Service Model's Role in Provider and User Security Investment Incentives AI翻译

  摘要：Cloud computing can be viewed as an e-business in which the cloud provider sells a range of information technology services and operations over the Internet to firms. Security is a major concern for firms that move to the cloud. The security of a cloud is the joint responsibility of the cloud provider and cloud users. However, the extent to which the provider and users can affect cloud security through their efforts depends on the cloud service model. In this study, we develop a game-theoretic...
• Impacts of Patient Characteristics and Care Fragmentation on the Value of HIEs AI翻译
  作者：Atasoy, Hilal; Demirezen, Emre M.; Chen, Pei-Yu

  摘要：We investigate the impact of health information exchange (HIE) use at the visit level on patient outcomes, such as future visit behavior and the number of procedures performed on the patient, and how the effects differ across patient and visit characteristics, for example, whether a patient has chronic conditions and whether a visit involves a hospital switch. Timely sharing of patient information is expected to decrease the fragmentation of care and improve decision-making, diagnoses, and car...
• Effects of Cost-Information Transparency on Intertemporal Price Discrimination AI翻译

  摘要：A firm's product-cost information is increasingly transparent to consumers as the firm itself or third parties publish such information, which reduces consumers' uncertainty for the product's cost. Using a dynamic model of firm pricing with forward-looking consumer choices, this study assesses how cost transparency affects the firm's intertemporal price discrimination and profit, as well as the consumers' strategic waiting decisions and surplus.Ceteris paribus, if consumers believe a durable p...
• Impact of Incorporating Returns into Pre-Disaster Deployments for Rapid-Onset Predictable Disasters AI翻译

  摘要：Initial deployment decisions are critical to humanitarian organizations as they pre-position resources and prepare for predictable disasters, such as hurricanes, floods, and wildfires. Deploying too few resources results in unmet demand, bad publicity, and unhappy donors. However, deploying a large number of resources can also result in bad publicity and unhappy donors due to high costs and wasted resources when disasters do not occur as expected and deployed items are not managed efficiently....
• An Operational Framework for the Adoption and Integration of New Diagnostic Tests AI翻译

  摘要：The gap between medical research on diagnostic testing and clinical workflow can lead to rejection of valuable medical research in a busy clinical environment due to increased workloads, or rejection of medical research in the laboratory that may be valuable in practice due to a misunderstanding of the system-level benefits of the new test. This has implications for research organizations, diagnostic test manufacturers, and hospital managers among others. To bridge this gap, we develop a Marko...
• International Taxation and Production Outsourcing AI翻译

  摘要：This paper studies the effects of international taxation on multinational firms' production outsourcing strategies, which has attracted recent attention from both practitioners and legislators. We formulate a stylized economic model with information asymmetry and find that under the territorial tax system, the presence of global tax disparity may result in subtle changes of a firm's production outsourcing strategy. In particular, the tax consideration can make a multinational firm more incline...
• Evaluating Disaster Operations Management: An Outcome-Process Integrated Approach AI翻译
  作者：Paciarotti, Claudia; Valiakhmetova, Inna
  作者单位：Marche Polytechnic University
  摘要：Humanitarian operations play a crucial role in alleviating human and social losses caused by natural disasters. The best way to know responders' preparedness and ability to conduct efficient and effective humanitarian operations is to perform an evaluation. When evaluating humanitarian operations, the focus is mainly on their outcomes while the option of concentrating on the process is only mentioned, without examining in-depth the subject nor providing specific tools for its analysis. This st...
• Material Requirements Planning Under Demand Uncertainty Using Stochastic Optimization AI翻译
  作者：Thevenin, Simon; Adulyasak, Yossiri; Cordeau, Jean-Francois
  作者单位：IMT - Institut Mines-Telecom; IMT Atlantique; Universite de Montreal; HEC Montreal
  摘要：Material Requirements Planning (MRP), a core component of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, is widely used by manufacturers to determine the production lot sizes of components. These lot sizes are typically computed based on deterministic and dynamic demand assumptions, while safety stocks, which hedge against demand uncertainty, are determined independently based on different assumptions. As the lot sizes and safety stocks are not determined simultaneously, sub-optimal decisions are...
