摘要:Disaster response is critical to save lives and reduce damages in the aftermath of a disaster. Fundamental to disaster response operations is the management of disaster relief resources. To this end, a local agency (e.g., a local emergency resource distribution center) collects demands from local communities affected by a disaster, dispatches available resources to meet the demands, and requests more resources from a central emergency management agency (e.g., the Federal Emergency Management A...

摘要:Transportability is a structural causal modeling approach aimed at transporting a causal effect from a randomized experimental study in one population to a different population where only observational data are available. It offers a way to overcome the practical constraints in inferring causal relationships, such as endogeneity concerns in observational data and the infeasibility of replicating certain experiments. Although transportability holds significant promise for research and practice,...

摘要:Large firms are leaders in disaster response and communication. We study how firms communicate on social media during various disasters and the relationship between their communication and public engagement using a computationally intensive theory construction framework. The framework incorporates a novel natural language processing (NLP) approach, Semantic Projection with Active Retrieval (SPAR), as a key component of the method lexicon. Drawing on the two dimensions (internal versus external...

摘要:A central challenge in disaster risk management (DRM) is that there are key dependencies and uncertainty between the decisions made at the mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery stages. Evaluating the impact of strategic decisions on the decisions and outcomes of subsequent stages is paramount to determine informed risk management policies (e.g., estimating the risk reduction that may be achieved by a mitigation strategy relative to its cost). Performing such analyses is difficult, n...

摘要:Disaster relief organizations (DROs) utilize social media to provide information rapidly and broadly. Many DROs post content via multiple social media accounts within a single platform, on which each account represents a distinct entity (e.g., national headquarters, local branch). According to crisis communication theory, an organization's communication channels can coordinate by speaking with one voice. In a disaster context, this can be facilitated by accounts within the same DRO producing c...

摘要:In today's world, where online information is proliferating in an unprecedented way, a significant challenge is whether to believe the information we encounter. Ironically, this flood of information provides us with an opportunity to combat false claims by understanding their nature. That is, with the help of machine learning, it is now possible to effectively capture the characteristics of false information by analyzing massive amounts of false claims published online. These methods, however,...

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 ...

摘要:People are increasingly aware that their information is being tracked online. Although people generally self-report privacy to be important to them, in practice they often disclose far more private information than their self-reported privacy preferences denote. This privacy paradox could be better understood by uncovering the neural processes underlying the privacy calculus: weighing the risks against the benefits of disclosure. We assess the neural processes shaping privacy tradeoffs to char...

摘要:Online learners often experience a lack of sustained motivation given the self paced nature of online learning, resulting in inefficiency and a high dropout rate. Therefore, it is important to explore options that help users optimize their learning behavior and improve their learning performance. This study proposes that on-the-hour time points as external temporal cues can significantly influence online learning outcomes. Using a multi method approach (i.e., archival data analysis, laboratory...
