摘要：Moving toward sustainable energy systems to address climate change is one of the key challenges of our generation. To that end, investments in renewable energy and balancing renewable supply and energy demand on the larger scale are crucial. One mechanism to create price signals for demand balancing, as well as for consumer engagement, is to establish trading platforms (or peer-to-peer (P2P) markets) through which households can directly buy and sell renewable energy. However, residential cons...

摘要：Subscription-based crowdfunding (SBC) is an emerging platform for creators of digital content (e.g., music, comics, stories, and videos) to build their person brands and garner support from fans. A unique feature that sets SBC apart from other crowdfunding models is the creator-centered freemium model. That is, creators can offer free content to attract fans, who can then subscribe to financially support a creator; in return, the backers gain access to the creator's premium content and exclusi...

摘要：How should crowdfunding platforms alleviate information asymmetry between creators and crowdfunders? In traditional financialmarkets, public companies are required to disclose potential risks to their investors, and such risk disclosure requirements are enforced by legal and fiduciary regulations. In the crowdfunding context, however, such information asymmetry concerns are often addressed by crowd-based platforms. In this study, we examine whether and how a regulation to increase the salience...

摘要：The practice of using a second screen while concurrently watching television (TV) has become a widespread phenomenon. Whereas work on multitasking suggests that TV consumption may lead to lower online sales, research in the area of impulse buying suggests the opposite. In this paper, we study the impact of concurrent TV consumption on online shopping behavior and try to understand this conflict. Our first study analyzes the impact of TV consumption on online shopping behavior at the aggregate ...

摘要：Research has shown that consuming ratings influences purchase decisions in e-commerce and also has modest effects on belief in news articles on social media. However, we do not know if the act of creating a rating influences belief in online news stories. Unlike e-commerce settings in which ratings typically come from those who have personally used the product or service, social media users who submit their ratings for news articles typically lack firsthand knowledge of the events reported in ...

摘要：We examine the productivity implications of external knowledge flows obtained through an internet-mediated discussion forum in which IT professionals help one another solve problems related to the implementation and use of enterprise software. We extend elements of the absorptive capacity (ACAP) framework that have not previously been studied in the information systems (IS) literature to a new context. Consistent with prior results from the IS literature, we first show that IT spillovers-acqui...

摘要：High-quality online consumer reviews are valuable to e-commerce stakeholders. Extant research mainly focuses on what drives consumers to submit reviews, whereas little has been done to specifically theorize why review writers construct high-quality reviews versus post poor review content. To advance current theorizing on the behavior of writing quality reviews, we propose the concept of space norms, a distinct instantiation of social norms inferred from locally observing how others write revie...

摘要：Unverifiable messages abound on the Internet. Why do people share messages they cannot verify? This study develops an in-depth understanding of how messages containing unverifiable product information differ and why users share such messages over online social networks (OSNs). We develop a classification that identifies different types of unverifiable messages that OSN users encounter prior to the release of a new product and conduct two studies to investigate the resharing of true (informatio...

摘要：Mobile application use has become an essential activity in many people's daily lives in the mobile Internet era. Driven by its ubiquity and strong context dependence, Internet companies are in a race of cross-industry expansion to build a seamless ecosystem incorporating various contexts. Amid such trends, a better understanding of cross-app uses and the impact of contexts becomes critical and imperative. Yet, research on cross-app uses in information systems and marketing is scarce. In this p...

摘要：The successful adoption of interorganizational systems (IOSs), such as blockchains or electronic data interchanges, in interfirm networks requires timely and accurate sharing of information about these roll-outs. In reality, however, the early stages of IOS adoption are characterized by information asymmetries that can arise due to a separation between firms that select and develop the IOS, and firms that implement it. This often results in staggered and asymmetric flows of information that ca...
