摘要：Customers of two-sided platforms may succumb to choice overload due to the frequently overwhelming assortment in such markets. We investigate the effect of assortment size on consumers' purchase probability using a unique click-stream dataset from a large peer-to-peer meal delivery platform. To resolve the key endogeneity challenge that assortment size may be larger in areas where consumers experience greater utility from purchase, we introduce a novel causal inference strategy that exploits a...

摘要：Understanding consumers' engagement and subsequent content consumption behavior in the mobile context is critical to mobile app providers. In this paper, we develop a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to capture the dynamics of users' engagement states and consumption decisions on the number of books/chapters read and the amount of money spent. Our method allows us to simultaneously capture three interdependent usage behaviors using a single integrated model and identify the impact of content loading ...

摘要：The study of time-inconsistent decision-making, in particular present bias, has greatly influenced the field of behavioral economics over the last two decades. Moreover, it has resulted in the design and implementation of widely used incentive schemes for various important applications. However, the effect of present bias on decision-making for operational problems has been studied less. This work considers the effect of present bias in a simple scheduling system that requires decisions about ...

摘要：The past three decades have witnessed a tremendous shift in public health policies toward marijuana legalization in the United States. Adopting the process-based view of innovation, we hypothesize that marijuana's increased use and related consequences after its legalization affect innovators' behavior and social environment during the innovation process, which in turn impacts regional innovation. Utilizing the staggered adoption of medical marijuana laws (MMLs) by 20 states between 1996 and 2...

摘要：Endowed with significant firm-specific knowledge, inside directors can contribute to the decision-making processes of the boardroom. However, regulatory changes, focusing primarily on the monitoring function of the boards, have driven inside directors out of the boardroom. This article argues that suppliers with firm- and industry-specific knowledge are uniquely positioned to fill a critical void in boardrooms. It also suggests that the value of having a supplier on the board (SOTB) is influen...

摘要：We theorize that employees use the performance feedback they receive to reassess their beliefs about the marginal benefit of their effort, which may lead them to increase or reduce their effort. To test our model, we conduct a field experiment at the distribution center of a Fortune 500 firm where employees receive individual performance pay, and we study two types of feedback, individual and relative. The results show that employees react to feedback content in a way that is consistent with t...

摘要：Disaster relief workers face unique factors in their operating environments that can inhibit internal integration. For example, disaster relief often involves exposure to traumatic events affecting relief workers' commitment to cooperation and the organization. As such, disaster relief organizations dedicate substantial amounts of scarce resources to support workers exposed to trauma. Unfortunately, contradictory views exist in the literature on how trauma exposure affects commitment and integ...

摘要：The paper proposes an optimization model for the allocation of vaccines to a heterogeneous population composed of several subpopulations with different sizes and epidemiological disease transmission parameters. As the objective, an aggregated function combining a standard utilitarian efficiency criterion with a Gini index-related penalty term is considered. Contrary to previous work, we adopt an outcome equity view: The inequity measure is not based on vaccination fractions or other input fact...

摘要：Near-constant Internet access through desktop or mobile devices has turned self-service support forums into the first port of call for users seeking to troubleshoot product or service issues. The firms providing these products and services also benefit from this trend since it reduces user support costs by diverting service requests away from costlier support channels, such as help desks. For the continued success of such a forum, however, the managing entity must ensure that users receive tim...

摘要：Airlines showcase their on-time performance (OTP), a globally accepted operational performance metric, to demonstrate punctuality, service reliability, and attract air travelers. Airlines can adopt passive strategies, such as schedule padding, and active strategies, such as making operational changes/improvements, to improve their OTP. While there is a high degree of variation in airlines' OTP from year to year, it is unclear if and the extent to which airlines' active or passive actions impac...
