摘要：Revenue management has evolved over the years from its origins in the airline industry into a much broader discipline that analyzes algorithmic methods for demand and marketplace management, but many outside of the discipline are not aware of this transformation. The field's transition tracks the widespread adoption of algorithmic decision-making techniques by businesses in a wide variety of industries over the last decade. We study this evolution in the field's breadth of research, with a par...

摘要：This paper studies the effect of competition on analysts' forecast informativeness. Analysts compete to achieve a higher rank in forecast accuracy. Competition can impair, improve, or have no effect on analysts' forecast informativeness. Competition impairs informativeness if and only if the prior uncertainty of the economic state is high, and analysts' private signals are positively correlated conditional on the state. The more intense the competition in terms of a higher prize-to-penalty rat...

摘要：Organizations often require agents' private information to achieve critical goals such as efficiency or revenue maximization, but frequently it is not in the agents' best interest to reveal this information. Strategy-proof mechanisms give agents incentives to truthfully report their private information. In the context of matching markets, they eliminate agents' incentives to misrepresent their preferences. We present direct field evidence of preference misrepresentation under the strategy-proo...

摘要：We use a social learning perspective to extend our understanding of information technology (IT) investment and return. Specifically, we investigate social learning in the context of interlocks between corporate boards, which allow firms to share knowledge and experiences with respect to their IT investments. Using a large data set of firm-years from 2001-2008, we find (a) a positive relationship exists between a focal firm's IT investment and that of its interlocked firms; (b) this positive re...

摘要：The idiosyncratic volatility (IVOL) anomaly exhibits strong calendar effects. The negative relation between IVOL and the next-month return obtains mainly in the third week of the month. The IVOL-return relation is generally negative on Mondays and positive on Fridays. However, the positive impact is absent on the third Friday because of selling pressure from stocks delivered at option expiration. This imbalance between the negative and positive returns during the third week of the month has a ...

摘要：We propose and validate a comprehensive measure of power for the top management teams (TMTs) of publicly listed Chinese firms. We show that our measure is positively associated with the four power dimensions developed by prior research for U.S. firms as well as three Asia-relevant power dimensions, including political capital, seniority, and gender. We find that our TMT power measure is a valid proxy for TMT power for both state-controlled firms and non-state-controlled firms. We also compare ...

摘要：The authors study the effect of changes in the United States income distribution on assortment size in the mainstream grocery channel. Census demographics for 1,711 counties are matched to local assortment data from Nielsen in 944 grocery product categories from 2007 to 2013. The authors show that holding other demographics constant, assortment size increases with higher average income but decreases with greater income dispersion. This pattern holds for several specifications of assortments at...

摘要：As a new general-purpose technology, robots have the potential to radically transform employment and organizations. In contrast to prior studies that predict dramatic employment declines, we find that investments in robotics are associated with increases in total firm employment but decreases in the total number of managers. Similarly, we find that robots are associated with an increase in the span of control for supervisors remaining within the organization. We also provide evidence that robo...

摘要：We develop a new measure of innovation using the text of analyst reports of S&P 500 firms. Our text-based measure gives a useful description of innovation by firms with and without patenting and R&D (research and development). For nonpatenting firms, the measure identifies innovative firms that adopt novel technologies and innovative business practices (e.g., Walmart's cross-geography logistics). For patenting firms, the text-based measure strongly correlates with valuable patents, which likel...
