摘要:Our research introduces a novel theory of augmented learning by reconceptualizing the concept and providing both theoretical insights and empirical evidence to explain its role in human-generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) co-creation for enhancing joint creativity over time. We propose shifting the focus of augmented learning from traditional human cognitive learning to a collective learning process, where humans and GenAI collaboratively rearrange their levels of involvement in co-crea...

摘要:Virtual teamwork has become a prevalent mode of collaboration. However, scant empirical attention has been given to the impact of virtual teamwork on individual members' performance beyond the team setting. In this paper, we fill this gap by studying virtual teams in the context of online medical consultation (OMC) platforms. Specifically, we collect data from two OMC platforms during a time period when both platforms offered individual consultations (i.e., one patient connected with one physi...

摘要:Paid Q&A platforms monetize knowledge by charging a commission on the consulting fees set by experts who provide personalized answers to users' questions. Additionally, some platforms capitalize on knowledge further by offering an answer-viewing feature, which allows users to pay for access to answers to questions previously posed by others. This feature provides a more affordable alternative for users seeking information, potentially expanding the platform's market by attracting those unwilli...

摘要:This study investigates how platform risk indicators and the size of the active user base shape participation in lending-based crowdfunding (LCF) markets. A key distinction between LCF platforms and other two-sided markets is heightened uncertainty, which primarily stems from concerns about platform-level financial instability. To understand how participants from both sides of the platforms navigate such uncertainty, we develop a framework grounded in observational learning and cue diagnostici...

摘要:Information disclosure on digital platforms is ubiquitous and often well intentioned, yet it frequently results in unintended consequences. Given the prevalence of simplified cues prone to ambiguity in digital platforms' information design, how such designs can induce ambiguity and consumer misunderstanding has not been closely evaluated. Yelp's initiative to display hygiene inspection scores to restaurant webpages on Yelp across the United States, in response to consumers' limited access to i...

摘要:The emerging on-demand healthcare platforms connect patients with healthcare practitioners to provide quick access to primary care and consultation services. These platforms can offer a question and answer (Q&A) service to patients to seek more information before they seek care online or offline. Using rich panel data from an on-demand healthcare platform in China, we investigate the impact of such a Q&A service on demands for online consultations and offline appointments. Our findings indicat...

摘要:With the rapid prevalence and massive user growth of social media platforms, efficiently targeting potential customers on these platforms has grown in importance for companies. Enhancing the likelihood that a social media user will engage with brand posts holds profound implications for online marketing strategy design. However, predicting customer engagement on social media comes with its own set of challenges. In this work, we design a graph neural network model called the graph neural netwo...

摘要:Large volumes of online impressions are sold daily via real-time auctions to deliver targeted advertisements to consumers. Advertisers use data to learn about user preferences and select the most appropriate ad for each user, which also helps them optimize their bids in an ad auction. Although ad exchanges may provide some user data to advertisers, they are usually limited, and advertisers often acquire data from various sources to improve targeting performance. The acquisition of such data ca...

摘要:The selection of a business model significantly impacts the success of digital content platforms, influencing both consumers and creators. Within the field of serialized digital content, establishing incentives that align with creators' interests poses a notable challenge. Web novel platforms, which allow writers to produce and market their work online, have traditionally adopted a pay-per-view model, where readers pay for access to content. However, a recent trend has seen the introduction of...

摘要:Artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasingly deployed in business operations over the past decade. Although AI productivity in normal times has been extensively studied, direct evidence of its effectiveness in uncertain contexts is limited. Our work fills this gap by examining the contribution of AI to corporate resilience under natural disaster shocks, particularly concentrating on AI-using and goods-producing firms. We measure firm AI investment by the cumulative AI-relevant skills ext...
