摘要：Although information technology (IT) is increasingly replacing human labor, the IT-labor relationship is more nuanced than it appears. We examine the IT-labor relationship in terms of various levels of education, intensities of routine tasks, and exposure to artificial intelligence (AI). Making use of an industry-level data set covering 60 U.S. industries from 1998 to 2013, we adopt an innovative measure of elasticity of substitution that enables us to capture the asymmetric price impact betwe...

摘要：The rapidly growing sharing economy is characterized by improved resource utilization through peer -to -peer transactions. Sharing platforms usually adopt one of three rental models, long-term, on -demand, and hybrid, where the long-term rental requires full dedication of resources to market over a predefined period, the on -demand rental allows resources to be exchanged for a fraction of the period, and the hybrid rental model provides both options. We develop an analytical model consisting o...

摘要：Fueled by social media, health misinformation is spreading rapidly across online platforms. Myths, rumors, and false information on vaccines are flourishing, and the aftermath can be disastrous. A more concerning trend is that people are increasingly relying on social media to obtain healthcare information and tending to believe what they read on social media. Given the serious consequences of misinformation, this study aims to explore the efficacy of a potential cure for the infodemic we face...

摘要：Disasters usually induce sudden changes to the work and home environment with significant consequences for workers' labor market outcomes (i.e., unemployment, work absence, and layoff). Prior literature suggests that female workers tend to be more affected by such changes (e.g., the limited availability of childcare and/or domestic services) as female workers often (or are expected to) shoulder more childcare and/or household responsibilities. As a result, disasters tend to affect female worke...

摘要：Financial regulators often focus on containing risks in financial services; however, they may not simultaneously pay adequate attention to regulation's adverse effects. This study examines how the economic development of borrowers was affected by China's suppressive regulation of peer-to-peer (P2P) lending in 2018, which unexpectedly switched from an all-in policy to an all-shutdown policy, leading to a massive closure of P2P lending companies and the eventual shutdown of the entire industry b...

摘要：Strategic conversations involve one party with an informational advantage and another with an interest in the information. This paper proposes machine learning-based methods to quantify the evasiveness and incoherence of the more -informed party during real-time strategic conversations. To demonstrate the effectiveness of these methods in a real -world setting, we consider the question -and -answer sessions of earnings conference calls, during which managers face scrutinizing questions from an...

摘要：Despite the increasing interest in gamified systems and excitement about their potential positive impact on user engagement, a few studies have started to note gamification failures, which can result from user maladaptive behaviors, or behaviors directed at misappropriating gamified systems. In this research, we examine how such maladaptive behaviors can result from design issues of gamified systems and how such behaviors impact task performance. To date, little is known about design issues wh...

摘要：We examine the coopetition relationship between a ride-sharing platform and a car-rental firm. A distinctive aspect of this coopetition relationship is that they operate under two different business models. The platform, exploiting information technology (IT) capabilities, controls its demand and supply sides by setting rider price and driver wage in real time based on demand and supply conditions. In contrast, the car-rental firm operates under the traditional model with a fixed supply and co...

摘要：We study the impacts of telehealth adoption on geographic competition among urban and rural healthcare providers. We consider a quasinatural experiment: states' entry into the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, wherein the entry events facilitate healthcare providers to adopt telehealth technology. By analyzing a representative sample of providers, we first establish the Compact entry shock's validity and its positive effect on the supply of medical services. We then report evidence that th...

摘要：Technological advancements and the COVID-19 pandemic have catapulted process virtualization across many industries, including healthcare, where telehealth has enabled significant digital transformation of care delivery. Although telehealth has been proposed as a potential solution to improve access to care and restrain runaway healthcare costs, it can increase spending if telehealth use leads to new types of resource utilization. Drawing on the lens of process virtualization theory, we study t...
