摘要：Although online doctor consultations are rapidly gaining popularity, physicians must actively participate in physician-patient interaction platforms to fully unlock their potential. Through a social influence lens, this study empirically investigates physician adoption behavior over time across regions in the diffusion of an online health community (OHC). We examined the impacts of geographically and socially close adopters and investigated the interaction of proximity influences and competiti...

摘要：Learning consumers' personalized privacy preferences is crucial for firms and policymakers to establish trust and compliance and guide effective policymaking. Existing approaches rely mostly on private information such as proprietary user behavior data and individual -level demographic and socio-economic factors, or require explicit user input, which can be invasive and burdensome, potentially leading to user dissatisfaction. Nowadays, individuals generate and share vast amounts of information...

摘要：This study examines the impact of discrete emotional expression (i.e., expression of anxiety, sadness, anger, disgust, love, joy, surprise, and anticipation) on the differential diffusion of online content in social media networks. We conducted an analysis on a random sample of 387,486 online articles and their corresponding diffusion cascades, involving more than six million unique individuals, on a major online social networking platform. Our investigation focused on the relationships betwee...

摘要：A significant body of research has explored various antecedent determinants of crowdfunding success. However, the mixed findings and a lack of theoretical consensus in this domain have impeded efforts to understand which factors truly influence crowdfunding success. In response to this challenge, we carry out a meta-analysis of pertinent research on crowdfunding success factors, guided by the elaboration likelihood model (ELM) to construct central and peripheral information links. Drawing upon...

摘要：As e-commerce and mobile commerce become prevalent, a notable issue indicating a lack of choice closure is that consumers do not complete their purchases after choosing a product (e.g., shopping cart abandonment). Choice closure refers to the psychological process by which decision makers come to perceive a decision to be complete and settled. To foster choice closure, online interface designs hold promising merits in terms of flexible implementations and practical implications. Drawing upon c...

摘要：Recently, some user-generated content (UGC) platforms have introduced shopping features to generate additional commission-based revenue from in-app transactions. These platforms allow creators to produce shoppable content, where promoted products are tagged with affiliate links, and in return, they earn a percentage of the commission the creators receive from merchants (such a new business model is referred to as platform-led affiliate marketing ). Despite its growing popularity, the impact of...

摘要：Many online labor platforms employ reputation systems and monitoring systems to mitigate moral hazard. Whereas reputation systems have the potential to reduce moral hazard, they suffer from the cold -start problem, in which new entrants without an established reputation face a high entry barrier as employers predominantly select workers based on their existing reputation. Monitoring systems, providing employers with direct oversight of workers' actions, offer a different approach. By tracking ...

摘要：Leveraging advancements in large language models, social media platforms are increasingly deploying sophisticated chatbots, termed social bots, with the potential to stimulate user interaction. However, concerns linger regarding the socializing value of these bots in public settings. We investigate this phenomenon using data from the launch of CommentRobot on a microblogging platform. Analyzing user interactions with this platform-owned bot, we find that posts receiving bot-generated comments ...

摘要：Post-earnings-announcement drift (PEAD) refers to the phenomenon in which a company's stock price tends to drift persistently in response to the information released during the earnings announcement event. Predicting PEAD is of great interest to both investors and researchers because the magnitude of PEAD is economically significant. Whereas decades of studies have explored various approaches to forecasting PEAD, prior research has largely overlooked postevent investor responses-a critical int...

摘要：The increasing prevalence of remote work has accelerated the adoption of monitoring systems to keep track of worker behavior, especially on online labor platforms. In contrast to the existing literature that predominantly focuses on the effect of monitoring on productivity, this study investigates the impact of monitoring from the perspective of contractual governance. In principle, by enabling the detailed real-time observation of worker progress, the deployment of monitoring systems has the ...
