摘要：In this study, we conceptualize and empirically evaluate how large-scale organizations can utilize the informational value of visual nudges on social media to promote safety among users and thus improve public health outcomes in the context of the coronovirus desease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19) pandemic. We construct a unique panel dataset combining data collected from multiple public and proprietary sources. To operationalize visual nudges from user-generated content, we engage ...

摘要：In this paper, we investigate whether and how investors of suppliers learn from the private information embedded in the customer credit default swap (CDS) market prior to customer earnings announcements. We find that investors of suppliers indeed incorporate the customer private information revealed in the CDS market into the supplier valuation, thereby leading to significant changes in suppliers' future stock prices. Moreover, such price discovery effect is more pronounced when: (i) the level...

摘要：We review and analyze the farming (upstream agribusiness supply chain) research literature since 1965 to identify farming research opportunities for operations management (OM) researchers. A majority of reviewed papers in our corpus, until the turn of the 21st century, primarily focus on improving operational efficiency and effectiveness of farming using optimization techniques. However, during the last two decades, farmers' welfare and the interests of other stakeholders have drawn OM researc...

摘要：There is a growing interest in the industry around 3D printing. A related phenomenon is personal fabrication (PF) in which a firm sells products' design and lets the customers personalize and manufacture the product using 3D printing services. In this paper, we characterize the market and operational conditions that make PF an attractive operational strategy. We propose a demand market model that captures customer heterogeneity in taste (horizontal) and quality (vertical) dimensions while allo...

摘要：Supply diversification and pricing are two common mechanisms for dealing with supply yield uncertainty. This paper characterizes a firm's pricing and sourcing decisions under supply yield uncertainty, and studies the interplay between the two mechanisms. We compare the optimal sourcing decisions under two distinct pricing schemes: (1) ex ante pricing-the firm simultaneously makes the sales price and sourcing decisions before production takes place; (2) responsive pricing-the pricing decision i...

摘要：Determining inventory ahead of knowing customer demand is a crucial decision for many businesses. Although it is possible to select the ideal order quantity given the costs of over and undersupplying demand, prior research demonstrates that decision-makers consistently make suboptimal inventory choices. Drawing on construal level theory and psychological distance, this paper explores how differences in the spatial distance (suppliers that are geographically near or far) and temporal distance (...

摘要：Medical rumors have become a threat to modern society. To study the spread and control of rumors, nonlinear differential equations modeling with the well-mixed assumption is commonly used. However, this approach ignores the underlying network structure which plays an important role in information spreading. We establish a generalized differential equations model to study the spread and control of medical rumors in a highly asymmetric social network. In our model, each node represents a group o...

摘要：Customers of two-sided platforms may succumb to choice overload due to the frequently overwhelming assortment in such markets. We investigate the effect of assortment size on consumers' purchase probability using a unique click-stream dataset from a large peer-to-peer meal delivery platform. To resolve the key endogeneity challenge that assortment size may be larger in areas where consumers experience greater utility from purchase, we introduce a novel causal inference strategy that exploits a...

摘要：Understanding consumers' engagement and subsequent content consumption behavior in the mobile context is critical to mobile app providers. In this paper, we develop a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to capture the dynamics of users' engagement states and consumption decisions on the number of books/chapters read and the amount of money spent. Our method allows us to simultaneously capture three interdependent usage behaviors using a single integrated model and identify the impact of content loading ...

摘要：The study of time-inconsistent decision-making, in particular present bias, has greatly influenced the field of behavioral economics over the last two decades. Moreover, it has resulted in the design and implementation of widely used incentive schemes for various important applications. However, the effect of present bias on decision-making for operational problems has been studied less. This work considers the effect of present bias in a simple scheduling system that requires decisions about ...
