摘要：We study compatibility decisions of two competing platform owners that generate profits through both hardware sales and royalties from content sales. We consider a game-theoretic model in which two platforms offer different standalone utilities to users. We find that incentives to establish one-way compatibility-the platform owner with smaller standalone value grants access to its proprietary content application to users of the competing platform-can arise from the difference in their profit f...

摘要：In the classical secretary problem, one attempts to find the maximum of an unknown and unlearnable distribution through sequential search. In many real-world searches, however, distributions are not entirely unknown and can be learned through experience. To investigate learning in such settings, we conduct a large-scale behavioral experiment in which people search repeatedly from fixed distributions in a repeated secretary problem. In contrast to prior investigations that find no evidence for ...

摘要：This study investigates a potential mechanism to promote coordination. With theoretical guidance using a belief-based learning model, we conduct a multiperiod, binary-choice, and weakest-link laboratory coordination experiment to study the effect of gradualism-increasing the required levels (stakes) of contributions slowly over time rather than requiring a high level of contribution immediately-on group coordination performance. We randomly assign subjects to three treatments: starting and con...

摘要：Copy trading allows traders in social networks to receive information on the success of other agents in financial markets and to directly copy their trades. Internet platforms like eToro, ZuluTrade, and Tradeo have attracted millions of users in recent years. The present paper studies the implications of copy trading for the risk taking of investors. Implementing a novel experimental financial asset market, we show that providing information on the success of others leads to a significant incr...

摘要：This article investigates the effect of patent protection on the mobility of early career employee-inventors. Using data on patent applications filed at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office between 2001 and 2012 and examiner leniency as a source of exogenous variation in patent protection, we find that one additional patent granted decreases the likelihood of changing employers, on average, by 23%. This decrease is stronger when the employee has fewer coinventors, works outside the core of the...

摘要：Changing economic conditions over the past two decades have created incentives for sell-side analysts to both provide their institutional clients tiered services and to streamline their written research process. One manifestation of these changes is an increased likelihood of analysts' issuing earnings forecasts for multiple firms on the same day. We identify this bundling property and show that bundling has increased steadily over time. We provide field evidence that the practice is a cost-sa...

摘要：Flow-control policies that balance server loads are well known for improving performance of queueing systems with multiple nodes. However, although load balancing benefits the system overall, it may negatively impact some of the queueing nodes. For example, it may reduce throughput rates or engender unfairness with respect to some performance measures. For queueing systems with multiple single-server nodes, we propose a set of constrained load-balancing policies that ensures the expected arriv...

摘要：We consider a canonical quantity-based network revenue management problem where a firm accepts or rejects incoming customer requests irrevocably in order to maximize expected revenue given limited resources. Because of the curse of dimensionality, the exact solution to this problem by dynamic programming is intractable when the number of resources is large. We study a family of re-solving heuristics that periodically re-optimize an approximation to the original problem known as the determinist...

摘要：We develop an 18-item self-report measure of receptiveness to opposing views. Studies 1a and 1b present the four-factor scale and report measures of internal, convergent, and discriminant validity. In study 2, more receptive individuals chose to consume proportionally more information from U.S. senators representing the opposing party than from their own party. In study 3, more receptive individuals reported less mind wandering when viewing a speech with which they disagreed, relative to one w...

摘要：We analyze the design and impact of bank regulation using a dynamic structural framework. The optimal regulatory policy combines a target capital requirement, the mitigation of underinvestment, an intervention capital requirement to control inefficient risk taking, and recapitalization of distressed banks. The optimal target and intervention capital requirements from our structural estimation are consistent with the substantially higher capital requirements proposed in Basel III and together a...
