摘要：Many performance-enhancing workplace practices require collaboration between managers and workers for successful adoption. However, managers and workers often have diverging incentives and misunderstandings regarding what needs to be done, impeding collaboration. We conduct a field experiment involving 12,761 small- and medium-sized firms, encouraging collaboration between owners/managers and workers on workplace safety. We find that the treatment increases safety training and reduces the rate...

摘要：Disinformation detection is becoming increasingly important and relevant because it is easier than ever to create and disseminate disinformation. How does detection ability affect the incentive to generate disinformation? Given the practical constraints of classification technology, how should a detector be designed? To answer these questions, this paper studies the problem where a sender strategically communicates his type to a receiver, and a lie detector generates a noisy signal on the trut...

摘要：Existing rivalry research finds that people try harder and perform better when competing against their rivals. However, are there conditions under which rivalry can harm performance? We integrate rivalry theory with regulatory fit theory to propose two moderators of rivalry: individual skill and situational risk for status change. We test our predictions using data from software programming contests involving more than 4.6 million competitive encounters across 16,846 software developers (coder...

摘要：Leading online service providers, as major customers of cloud computing services, are increasingly adopting a multicloud strategy to enhance service delivery across different locations. However, compatibility issues among various cloud platforms complicate the implementation of this strategy. To address this challenge, cloud providers can offer a multicloud management platform that acts as a bridge between distinct cloud environments. Although such a platform can enhance customers' multicloud ...

摘要：Social media video sponsorship, where sponsors partner with content creators to promote their brands, has become increasingly popular. Leveraging rich data on sponsored and nonsponsored videos on Facebook, we introduce two metrics, Content Similarity and Audience Closeness, to help sponsors find effective creator-sponsor matches. Content Similarity captures the thematic alignment between a creator's content and a sponsor's brand, whereas Audience Closeness measures how closely aligned a creato...

摘要：Motivated by the empirical evidence observed from the real-world data set, this paper studies context-based dynamic pricing with separable demand models. Consider a seller selling a product over a finite horizon of T periods and facing an unknown expected demand function that admits a separable structure f(p) + g(x), where p is an element of R and x is an element of Rd denote the product's price and features, respectively. The seller does not know the exact expression of f(p) or g(x) but can d...

摘要：We examine how political heterogeneity in groups affects individual performance in settings where people work alongside others. Leveraging the random assignment of golfers to groups in Professional Golfers' Association Tour tournaments, we find that golfers score 0.2 strokes better per round when playing in politically homogeneous versus heterogeneous groups. This corresponds to a five-rank improvement before the tournament cut and an additional $13,000-$23,400 in tournament earnings. The effe...

摘要：We study employee mental health to assess the long-term nonmonetary consequences of mergers. Using employer-employee level data linked to individual health records, we document that the incidences of stress, anxiety, depression, and psychiatric medication usage increase following mergers. These effects are prevalent among employees from both targets and acquirers, in weak and in growing profitable firms. Employees who experience negative career developments within the merging firms, 'blue-coll...

摘要：Recent studies suggest monitoring increases during economic downturns. In this study, we test whether firms' abnormal investment activity changes across the business cycle. Focusing on recessions, we find that firms not only curtail overinvestment but also reduce underinvestment, with the combined effect representing a significant 9% of average investment. Employing various proxies for monitoring intensity, we demonstrate that stronger governance mechanisms are associated with more pronounced ...

摘要：Building on prior literature showing that green bond issuance signals a firm's environmental commitment, this paper provides empirical evidence on a mechanism that gives credibility to this signal: reputational bonding through increased media coverage. Compared with matched firms, media coverage of a firm's environmental performance increases significantly after issuing green bonds. This increase persists over time and extends to aspects of environmental performance that go beyond the contract...
