摘要：Societal externalities stemming from digital multisided platforms on nonparticipants have received increasing attention from scholars in recent years. In this paper, we investigate one such spillover, how the emergence of home-sharing platforms (viz., Airbnb) affects noise complaints in densely populated urban areas. Urban noise is a stalwart social problem in urban living, and anecdotal evidence has suggested that the entry of home-sharing platforms has significantly exacerbated urban noise. ...

摘要：Darknet markets have been used increasingly for the transaction of drugs in the last decade. The growth of illicit drug transactions on darknet markets has led enforcement agencies to invest a greater proportion of time and effort to monitor and crack down on criminal activities on darknet websites. Whereas large-scale site-shutdown efforts involving policing agencies across various countries can help in slowing down the growth of these markets, such enforcement strategies may not be sustainab...

摘要：The growing online retail market has led to the prevalence of multichannel retailing. Meanwhile, retailers are increasingly combining multichannel retailing with a multi branding strategy. Although this can further increase the retailer's sales, it brings new advertising challenges. Multibrand, multichannel retailers usually launch advertising campaigns for different brands on multiple media. Thus, the retailer's advertising efforts fall into a set of brand-media units. Each unit's advertising...

摘要：When managing major disasters, authorities may ask residents to comply with certain guidelines that change community members' daily routines. In these situations, authorities often appeal to resilience, which refers to the ability to recover from challenges. In this study, we examine whether embedding resilience-related words (resilience messaging) in governors' social media posts increases community compliance with government guidelines in the context of the COVID-19 disaster. First, we condu...

摘要：Software is the foundation of the digital economy. The scope of software patent protection and the social and private value of software patenting are hence central to recent policy debates. The landmark 2014 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Alice Corp v. CLS Bank had a profound impact on software patenting, drastically narrowing the scope of patent protection on software innovation. We theorize and provide empirical evidence that a narrower scope of software patent protection is associated with a ...

摘要：People are increasingly aware that their information is being tracked online. Although people generally self-report privacy to be important to them, in practice they often disclose far more private information than their self-reported privacy preferences denote. This privacy paradox could be better understood by uncovering the neural processes underlying the privacy calculus: weighing the risks against the benefits of disclosure. We assess the neural processes shaping privacy tradeoffs to char...

摘要：Social trading is an emerging market in the sharing economy, allowing inexperienced investors (followers) to automatically follow the trades of experts (leaders) in real time. We use a separable temporal exponential random graph model to analyze the formation and dissolution of links in a large social trading network. In contrast to traditional social networks, social trading networks are characterized by the rapid dissolution of links, thereby increasing the importance of studying network dis...

摘要：This paper addresses how real-time weather information acquired through mobile technology can be leveraged to enhance the efficacy of mobile interventions for spurring users' healthier behaviors. Through a field experiment that each participant experience different weather conditions in two different treatment periods under the gain or loss interventions, we found that the effects of gain or loss interventions across sunny and cloudy weather are not uniformly distributed. Loss intervention ind...

摘要：Online learners often experience a lack of sustained motivation given the self paced nature of online learning, resulting in inefficiency and a high dropout rate. Therefore, it is important to explore options that help users optimize their learning behavior and improve their learning performance. This study proposes that on-the-hour time points as external temporal cues can significantly influence online learning outcomes. Using a multi method approach (i.e., archival data analysis, laboratory...

摘要：Online health communities are growing rapidly as more individuals seek health information online. Given the importance of doctor engagement, some online health communities have introduced informal payments to doctors to encourage knowledge sharing. This study empirically examines how informal payments in the form of monetary gifts affect doctor engagement. We leverage the launch of a gifting feature by a leading online health community as a natural experiment that exogenously provides doctors ...
