摘要：Software is instrumental to the accelerated pace of digital innovation, and our ability to rapidly develop and deliver digital products and services is largely based on the reuse of existing software. In recent years, packaged software reuse has emerged as an important phenomenon driving the creation of new software, both proprietary and open source, as well as the emergence and evolution of entire software ecosystems. Arguing that our theoretical understanding of the nature and the magnitude ...

摘要：Link recommendation, which recommends links to connect unlinked online social network users, is a fundamental social network analytics problem with ample business implications. Existing link recommendation methods tend to recommend similar friends to a user but overlook the user's diversity preference, although social psychology theories suggest the criticality of diversity preference to link recommendation performance. In recommender systems, a field related to link recommendation, a number o...

摘要：Customer-generated images (CGIs) on e-commerce platforms have been widely adopted as a promotional tool to persuade customers into purchases. Despite their prevalent applications, the effect of CGIs on customer postpurchase satisfaction has not been extensively examined. This study postulates that CGIs could cause expectation disconfirmation and reduce product uncertainty for customers, therefore making their effect on subsequent product ratings complex. We leverage multiple methods and data s...

摘要：Heuristics are mental shortcuts that have ubiquitous influences on decision making. We investigate whether and how different heuristics have distinct effects in the context of peer-to-peer (P2P) lending. Drawing on theories on the roles that heuristics play in decision making, we conjecture that when borrowers use different heuristics based on distinct motives to set their loan amounts, their funding success and repayment performance also differ. Using detailed P2P lending data from a Chinese ...

摘要：We investigate the role of frictions in determining the efficiency and bidding behavior in a generalized second-price auction-the most preferred mechanism for sponsored-search advertisements. In particular, we take a twofold approach of Q-learning-based computational simulations in conjunction with human-subject experiments. We find that the lower valued advertisers (who do not win the auction) exhibit highly exploratory behavior. Moreover, we find the presence of market frictions moderates th...

摘要：Software piracy is a challenging issue faced by software firms and governments all over the world. To control software piracy, firms exert considerable effort in antipiracy measures. This paper uses game theoretical models to study how software firms should determine their antipiracy efforts and product prices. There are two unique aspects of our model. First, antipiracy efforts have both a direct effect and a cross effect on software piracy. Second, we capture two types of competitions when p...

摘要：Software components, such as application programming interfaces (APIs), provided by both the platform owner and external developers in a platform ecosystem are vital to online digital platforms. These APIs are associated with functionality provided by the platform. A larger number of APIs used is generally associated with an increase in the platform ecosystem's variety of products. However, the precise nature of the relationship between the use of APIs and product variety in a platform ecosyst...

摘要：Online healthcare platforms provide users with various intervention programs to promote personal wellness. Given the many options available, it's often difficult for individuals to decide in which intervention to participate, especially when they lack the experience or knowledge to evaluate the interventions. This may discourage individuals' continuous engagement in online health management. In this study, we are motivated to develop a personalized healthcare recommendation framework to help i...

摘要：External reference prices (ERPs) are recognized to influence consumers' payment for physical goods. We examine the role of ERPs in a digital goods context, emphasizing the importance of disentangling the effects of two components of ERPs: the magnitude and the source. We first examine the impact of the price magnitude and then investigate how the impact of ERP magnitude is moderated by its source-the specific context in which the reference price is set-and by its perceived fairness. Using a la...
