摘要：Climate change as a global challenge requires collective responses from stakeholders in society. As the main source of energy consumption generating greenhouse gases (e.g., CO2), firms increasingly share their problems and experiences regarding energy saving in interfirm knowledge communities. By distinguishing knowledge sharing from free-riding, we investigate how firms that participate in an interfirm knowledge community for energy saving improve their energy efficiency. We use a unique pane...

摘要：Blockchain-based track and trace (BCT) is increasingly adopted in the retail supply chain. However, there is little rigorous empirical evidence quantifying the effects of BCT on consumer purchases or examining the heterogeneity of these effects with varying product-related characteristics. Employing transactional data from a leading global e-retailer that contains 540 stock keeping units (SKUs), we design a quasi-natural experiment spanning 80 weeks to estimate the signaling effect of BCT (i.e...

摘要：Research has demonstrated that certain team composition factors-high expertise similarity, high network cohesion, and mixed-gender teams-have predominantly negative effects on the teams' invention outcomes. Yet these factors have also been shown to improve team coordination, which should (in theory) lead to better invention outcomes. We address this tension by highlighting the need to consider the invention's integrality, which increases task interdependencies among team members and thereby st...

摘要：In practice, lead time demand (LTD) can be skewed, multi-modal or highly variable, and these factors compromise the validity of typical approaches used for setting safety stock levels. Motivated by encountering this problem at our industry partner, we develop an approach for setting safety stock levels using the bootstrap, a widely used statistical procedure. Existing bootstrap approaches for inventory management either operate directly on observed LTD or assume deterministic lead times, permi...

摘要：This work addresses the issue of intelligent robot-human-coordinated parts-to-picker order fulfillment carried out in a human-friendly manner. One unique feature of the proposed approach involves integrating a real-time data-driven stochastic-dynamic model with a fatigue accumulation function. The optimal solutions help achieve coordination between human pickers and robots, such that robots can agilely adapt to the coordinated pickers' efficiency and fatigue conditions. Specifically, the propo...

摘要：The COVID-19 pandemic presented the world to a novel class of problems highlighting distinctive features that rendered standard academic research and participatory processes less effective in properly informing public health interventions in a timely way. The urgency and rapidity of the emergency required tight integration of novel and high-quality simulation modeling with public health policy implementation. By introducing flexibility and agility into standard participatory processes, we alig...

摘要：Much interest exists in physicians' ability and willingness to adapt their practice styles, as research demonstrates that many physicians practice in ways that are not aligned with the best available scientific evidence. We exploit migration patterns of primary care physicians in Massachusetts over a span of 8 years by tracking physician migrations to practice sites comprised of new peers who shared actual physical working space. We examined whether a patient's likelihood of receiving an inapp...

摘要：This paper provides evidence that the formation of global supply chain partnerships leads to an increased usage of cross-border financing. The findings are detected in all three major financing markets-equities, syndicated loans, and public debt. Difference-in-differences tests allow us to draw a causal interpretation of our main findings, which also holds in several robustness tests. Our findings suggest that increased cross-border financing reflects greater ability to access global financial...

摘要：Online retailers employ various kinds of social and marketing information cues to influence consumers' product interest and purchases. This study focuses on the effects of two types of information cues, product popularity and time restriction on product promotions, on consumers' product approach behavior. It takes a unique perspective by examining how such effects change as consumers' shopping goals become more concrete. The results of a field experiment and a laboratory experiment show that p...

摘要：Online peer-to-peer (P2P) lending has emerged as an innovative financial technology (FinTech) platform that renders financial services that are potentially more inclusive and affordable than those offered by traditional financial institutions. A similar purpose is served by cryptocurrency markets, where transaction costs are reduced and financial accessibility is improved based on disruptive technologies such as blockchain and distributed ledgers. Despite these developments, however, in the op...
