  摘要：Optimizing the treatment regimen is a fundamental medical decision-making problem. This can be thought of as a two-dimensional decision-making problem with a nested structure because it involves determining both the optimal medication and its optimal dose. Identifying the most effective medication for an individual often poses considerable difficulty, and even when a suitable medication is ascertained, dosing it optimally remains a significant challenge. Making these two nested decisions neces...
• Don't Fake It If You Can't Make It: Driver Misconduct in Last-Mile Delivery AI翻译

  摘要：In the last two decades, last-mile delivery (LMD) firms have seen immense growth fueled by the success of e-commerce, leading to faster and cheaper deliveries. Operating on thin margins, LMD firms strive for successful first-time deliveries to avoid the financial and reputational costs of reattempts. Delivery agents (DAs) are integral to LMD efficiency, influencing customer experience, delivery success, and productivity. However, most LMD performance enhancement research focuses on process, te...
• Borrowing Based on Great Expectations: Evidence from the Origins of Fracking AI翻译

  摘要：We use the origins of fracking to study how people respond to a large and uncertain permanent income shock. Following the arrival of news in 2003 that fracking was commercially viable, the average person owning rights to natural gas deposits in the Barnett Shale could plausibly expect to earn a present value of about $33,000 from leasing the rights to energy firms. Anticipating the income, people who signed leases after 2006 borrowed $5,400 more than nonleaseholders as of 2006. Leases not yet ...
• Do Proprietary Costs Deter Insider Trading? AI翻译

  摘要：Insider trading conveys insiders' private information to outsiders. This private information potentially benefits rival firms, which may reduce the competitive advantage of the insiders' firms. Using a composite proprietary cost measure, we find proprietary costs are negatively associated with insiders' purchases, especially when their trades are more likely to be informative to rivals. Consistent with proprietary costs increasing the costs of insider purchases and, hence, the expected benefit...
• Asset-Side Bank Runs and Liquidity Rationing: A Vicious Cycle AI翻译

  摘要：I analyze runs on credit lines in an infinite-horizon banking model, focusing on the strategic complementarity between bankers and credit line borrowers. Panic drawdowns by borrowers coupled with bank liquidity rationing can mutually reinforce each other, creating a vicious cycle. Using data from U.S. banks, I estimate the model and quantify the amplification effect arising from strategic complementarity. This amplification effect accounted for two-thirds of the contraction of bank credit duri...

  摘要：Customer preferences for product features play an important role in designing successful goods and services. Preferences for features are typically obtained by utilizing a model of choice where the utility for all but one level of an attribute is estimable. That is, the traditional discrete choice model can provide information on the change in utility between attribute-levels, but cannot separately estimate the utility associated with all levels of an attribute. In this paper, we propose a mod...
• Retention or Acquisition? Behavior-Based Quality Disclosure AI翻译

  摘要：Firms frequently extend their brand by introducing products in new categories and offering free samples or demonstrations for customers to learn about the quality of the new products before purchasing. When introducing new products based on customers' purchase behavior in the former category, firms face two customer segments: their own customers and the competitor's customers. Firms can practice behavior-based pricing (BBP) by charging different prices in the two segments. Moreover, firms can ...
• Revenue Sharing at Music Streaming Platforms AI翻译

  摘要：We study the problem of sharing the revenues raised from subscriptions to music streaming platforms among content providers. We provide direct, axiomatic, and game theoretical foundations for two focal (and somewhat polar) methods widely used in practice: pro rata and user centric. The former rewards artists proportionally to their number of total streams. With the latter, each user's subscription fee is proportionally divided among artists streamed by that user. We also provide foundations fo...

  摘要：Using a novel 15-year data set on surgeon adoption of a complex surgical innovation in the English National Health Service and an identification strategy based on surgeon mobility, this paper disentangles three channels of coworker influence on innovation diffusion: (1) peer network size, (2) influential key players, and (3) cumulative peer adoption. We find that a one standard deviation in peer connections boost innovation by 16%. Key players can either amplify or dampen diffusion, and peer a...
• Financial Statement Audits and Data Breaches AI翻译
  作者：Liu, Lisa Yao
  作者单位：Columbia University
  摘要：Financial statement audits for public companies require auditors to test the internal controls over the client's information systems that are material to the financial reporting process. Given the increasingly integrated nature of corporate data and control systems, a standard audit may have a positive effect on client firms' other information systems, such as those that help prevent data breaches. In this paper, I provide evidence on whether and how auditors help prevent data breaches. Using ...
