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,...

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...

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...

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...

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...

摘要：In this study, we formulate and estimate a dynamic procurement auction game where bidder asymmetry due to synergy is endogenous. The seller sells multiple goods via a sequence of first-price auctions. While bidders are ex-ante symmetric, the first-period winner has a valuation advantage as a result of such synergy in the second-period bidding game and becomes a strong bidder. This endogenous synergy creation leads to overbidding in the first-period auction relative to a static bidding game. We...

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...

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...

摘要：We study recycling technology choice, a critical factor that has received little attention in the context of extended producer responsibility, and its interaction with product design-for-recycling in driving the environmental benefits of recycling systems. Collective recycling systems have long been criticized for restricting the environmental benefits of extended producer responsibility because of free riding issues among producers, which can undermine incentives for product design-for-recycl...

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....
