摘要:We examine how privacy restrictions affect online content creation and consumption by evaluating the impact of YouTube's settlement with the Federal Trade Commission over violating the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. Under the settlement, YouTube limited personalization for made-for-kids (MFK) content starting in January 2020, and this included personalized ads and content engagement features such as subscriber notifications and playlists. We study the resulting impact on 5,066 top A...

摘要:This paper examines how infrastructure development affects stock market participation in India using trading data from more than 13 million individuals. Using the phased rollout of a national road construction program as a natural experiment, we find that new road connections lead to significant increases in both trading activity and the number of investors. These effects are driven primarily by new market entrants and are most pronounced in rural and intermediately developed regions as well a...

摘要:We study serial supply chain problems where a product is transported from a supplier to a warehouse (inbound transportation), and then from the warehouse (outbound transportation) to a retailer such that demand for a given planning horizon is satisfied. We consider heterogeneous vehicles of varying capacities for transportation in each time period, and the objective is to plan inbound and outbound transportation along with inventory in each time period so that overall inventory and transportat...

摘要:Studying a large set of macroeconomic announcements (MAs) and disentangling their news content, we show that a portfolio of stocks that pays off around MAs that negatively impact the aggregate stock market commands a positive risk premium. Adding this portfolio to a position in the aggregate market substantially increases Sharpe ratio while reducing MA risk exposure, which implies a rejection of the CAPM. Using state-ofthe-art measures of cash flow and discount rate news and consistent with pr...

摘要:This paper proposes and implements a novel nonparametric method for estimating the state price density (SPD) over the entire state space, including the tails. This SPD estimator achieves shape consistency properties in theory, particularly at the tails. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of our method. In particular, our estimator accurately captures the risk-neutral tail distribution, which is often underestimated by existing alternative methods. In an empirical a...

摘要:Risk pooling has become an increasingly critical tool for managing risks among corporations, institutions, states, and nations, with examples including multinational pooling, decentralized insurance schemes, catastrophe risk pooling, and burden sharing for nuclear accidents. Although there has been a rich literature on such practices, little is known from a theoretical viewpoint regarding the operational strategies of risk pools and, in particular, on issues about the effect of a pool's expans...

摘要:I study the role of vertical incentives between upstream issuers and downstream brokers in the retail bond market when there exist agency problems. Although arms-length transaction regulations require that vertical incentives not influence their activities, I show that both upstream issuers and downstream brokers are sensitive to vertical incentives. I then present a structural model in order to measure the degree of vertical incentives for downstream brokers, controlling for the extent of age...

摘要:Relative performance evaluation has become an increasingly common component of executive compensation contracts. We study how these incentive plans relate to corporate disclosure and predict that they introduce an incremental disclosure cost. This cost arises because disclosures can help competitors make better investment decisions, enhancing their performance and thereby reducing managers' expected compensation. Consistent with this prediction, we find a negative association between relative ...

摘要:Despite the great potential benefits of battery energy storage systems (BESSs) to electrical grids, most standalone uses of BESS are not economical due to batteries' high upfront costs and limited lifespans. Energy stacking, a strategy of providing two or more services with a single BESS, has been of great interest to improve profitability. However, some key questions, for example, the underlying mechanism by which stacking works or why and how much it may improve profitability, remain unanswe...
