摘要：Despite the growing popularity of online public funding for education (i.e., crowdfunding), controversy persists about whether teachers' efforts to use this channel are justified and whether donations thus received can actually make a difference in students' academic performance. We present the first empirical evidence of the positive influence of online education crowdfunding after teachers successfully raise funds. Using data from California public school teachers and their students, as well...

摘要：This paper uses a new microdata set of business-to-business firm-level transactions in Belgium to construct a measure of information and communication technology (ICT) investment at the firm level, which we combine with the income statement of firms to analyze the impact of ICT on productivity. We find that a firm investing an additional euro in ICT increases value added by 1 euro and 35 cents on average. This marginal product of ICT investment increases with firm size and varies across sector...

摘要：This paper examines the fact that a significant number of empirical studies in behavioral information systems (IS) theory research engage in confirmative testing of self-evident axiomatic theories without yielding highly relevant knowledge for the IS community. To measure how pervasive such testing of axiomatic theories is, we conducted a horizontal analysis using 666 hypotheses from 72 representative behavioral IS theories and discovered that more than 60% of the hypotheses could be regarded ...

摘要：In this study, we explorewhy an online retailer would open its platform and why a third-party seller would join the platform when the third party carries products identical to those the retailer sells as well as products the retailer does not carry. When the third party joins the retailer's platform, more consumers become aware of the third party's existence and, thus, might become aware of the products it does not list on the retailer's platform(e.g., by searching the seller brand online), wh...

摘要：Product-fit uncertainty is cited as one of the top reasons for high online product return rates. Fit describes how well a product suits a consumer's needs. The value of a product drops sharply when it deviates from a customer's ideal fit. In this study, we focus on ordinal fit, a type of fit attribute that can be ordered on a scale-for example, the size of apparel or the difficulty level of courses. By leveraging a change in the product-review system at an online retailer, we examine the impac...

摘要：Crowdfunding aims to collect small investments from a large number of backers to support a project by fundraisers. Although uncertainty has been an important issue in the reward-based crowdfunding literature, there is limited research on how backers respond to probabilistic uncertain rewards. This study examines how backers respond to the lottery-a type of uncertain reward-and how their motivations may shape their responses to probabilistic uncertain rewards. We hypothesize (1) how backers res...

摘要：Selling virtual items (e.g., clothing, weapons, or virtual furniture) serves as one of the major revenue sources for online game operators. Therefore, exploring what specific factors and design attributes may affect the sales of virtual items has become an important issue. This research draws upon prior studies on currency numerosity, contextualizing them to online game contexts to develop several theory-based predictions about how online game currency numerosity affects players' perceived exp...
