摘要：Digital platforms facilitate the flow of information and the execution of transactions. This study investigates the impact of signals from platform-provided online information regarding search and experience attributes of products on the prices of their offline transactions. We situate our theorizing and empirical work in the context of digital real estate platforms. Our results suggest that online information pertaining to properties' experience attributes has a significant influence on the p...

摘要：The rising diffusion of information systems (IS) throughout society poses an increasingly serious threat to privacy as a social value. One approach to alleviating this threat is to establish transparency of information privacy practices (TIPP) so that consumers can better understand how their information is processed. However, the design of transparency artifacts (e.g., privacy notices) has clearly not followed this approach, given the ever-increasing volume of information processing. Hence, c...

摘要：Legal professionals have access to many different sources of knowledge, including user-generated Wikipedia articles that summarize previous judicial decisions (i.e., precedents). Although these Wikipedia articles are easily accessible, they have unknown provenance and reliability, and therefore using them in professional settings is problematic. Nevertheless, Wikipedia articles influence legal judgments, as we show using a first-of-its-kind randomized control trial on judicial decision making....

摘要：Delivery speed is an essential component of the service provided by online delivery platforms. Because improving actual delivery speed is expensive, platforms can instead create a perception of faster delivery by showing a conservative estimate of the delivery duration when a customer places an order. We use detailed transaction-level data from a major food delivery platform to examine the effects of setting conservative delivery speed expectations on customers' likelihood of future purchases ...

摘要：The rapid advancement and adoption of blockchain technology have heralded an explosive growth of Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) as a new and popular fundraising approach for blockchain start-ups. To motivate blockchain individuals to invest in the subsequent ICO, a growing number of blockchain-based project founders employ the airdrop campaign, through which they distribute a specific amount of free official tokens or promotional tokens to potential investors on the blockchain with or without t...

摘要：Societal externalities stemming from digital multisided platforms on nonparticipants have received increasing attention from scholars in recent years. In this paper, we investigate one such spillover, how the emergence of home-sharing platforms (viz., Airbnb) affects noise complaints in densely populated urban areas. Urban noise is a stalwart social problem in urban living, and anecdotal evidence has suggested that the entry of home-sharing platforms has significantly exacerbated urban noise. ...

摘要：Darknet markets have been used increasingly for the transaction of drugs in the last decade. The growth of illicit drug transactions on darknet markets has led enforcement agencies to invest a greater proportion of time and effort to monitor and crack down on criminal activities on darknet websites. Whereas large-scale site-shutdown efforts involving policing agencies across various countries can help in slowing down the growth of these markets, such enforcement strategies may not be sustainab...

摘要：The growing online retail market has led to the prevalence of multichannel retailing. Meanwhile, retailers are increasingly combining multichannel retailing with a multi branding strategy. Although this can further increase the retailer's sales, it brings new advertising challenges. Multibrand, multichannel retailers usually launch advertising campaigns for different brands on multiple media. Thus, the retailer's advertising efforts fall into a set of brand-media units. Each unit's advertising...

摘要：When managing major disasters, authorities may ask residents to comply with certain guidelines that change community members' daily routines. In these situations, authorities often appeal to resilience, which refers to the ability to recover from challenges. In this study, we examine whether embedding resilience-related words (resilience messaging) in governors' social media posts increases community compliance with government guidelines in the context of the COVID-19 disaster. First, we condu...

摘要：Software is the foundation of the digital economy. The scope of software patent protection and the social and private value of software patenting are hence central to recent policy debates. The landmark 2014 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Alice Corp v. CLS Bank had a profound impact on software patenting, drastically narrowing the scope of patent protection on software innovation. We theorize and provide empirical evidence that a narrower scope of software patent protection is associated with a ...
