摘要：Machine learning is commonly used to estimate the heterogeneous treatment effects (HTEs) in randomized experiments. Using large-scale randomized experiments on the Facebook and Criteo platforms, we observe substantial discrepancies between machine learning-based treatment effect estimates and difference-in-means estimates directly from the randomized experiment. This paper provides a two-step framework for practitioners and researchers to diagnose and rectify this discrepancy. We first introdu...

摘要：Privacy is one of the most urgent issues associated with the advancement of information technology. Yet, there is a growing concern that the issues surrounding privacy have been too complex to understand, with conflicting evidence on how well prevalent theories explain everyday people's privacy-related actions and decisions. As current theories leave a considerable part of privacy phenomena unexplained, it is conceivably difficult to devise behavioral interventions or policy measures that effe...

摘要：The recent years have witnessed a tremendous increase in Internet advertising, especially location-based advertising on mobile devices. At the same time, search-driven and display advertising on more traditional media such as personal computers continues to be strong. This study examines the interaction between top-of-funnel advertising (e.g., search or display advertising) and bottom-of-funnel advertising (e.g., using a mobile application on a smart phone). We are particularly interested in t...

摘要：Hospitals have implemented health information technology (HIT) for clinical care to address rising operating costs in recent years. We integrate behavioral and institutional perspectives to explain how hospitals differentiate technological search relative to industry peers (i.e., search differentiation) for HIT portfolios. In the context of the U.S. healthcare industry, we theorize that hospitals' search differentiation for HIT results jointly from idiosyncratic learning in response to cost -b...

摘要：We compare the career outcomes of MBA graduates with attractive and plainlooking faces. Our findings reveal that attractive MBA graduates have a higher probability of holding more desirable jobs compared with their plain-looking counterparts 15 years after obtaining their MBA degree, resulting in a 15-year attractiveness premium of 2.4%. This premium corresponds to an annual salary differential of $2,508. Additionally, we observed an extreme attractiveness premium of over 11% for the top 10% m...

摘要：Although information technology (IT) is increasingly replacing human labor, the IT-labor relationship is more nuanced than it appears. We examine the IT-labor relationship in terms of various levels of education, intensities of routine tasks, and exposure to artificial intelligence (AI). Making use of an industry-level data set covering 60 U.S. industries from 1998 to 2013, we adopt an innovative measure of elasticity of substitution that enables us to capture the asymmetric price impact betwe...

摘要：The rapidly growing sharing economy is characterized by improved resource utilization through peer -to -peer transactions. Sharing platforms usually adopt one of three rental models, long-term, on -demand, and hybrid, where the long-term rental requires full dedication of resources to market over a predefined period, the on -demand rental allows resources to be exchanged for a fraction of the period, and the hybrid rental model provides both options. We develop an analytical model consisting o...

摘要：Fueled by social media, health misinformation is spreading rapidly across online platforms. Myths, rumors, and false information on vaccines are flourishing, and the aftermath can be disastrous. A more concerning trend is that people are increasingly relying on social media to obtain healthcare information and tending to believe what they read on social media. Given the serious consequences of misinformation, this study aims to explore the efficacy of a potential cure for the infodemic we face...

摘要：Disasters usually induce sudden changes to the work and home environment with significant consequences for workers' labor market outcomes (i.e., unemployment, work absence, and layoff). Prior literature suggests that female workers tend to be more affected by such changes (e.g., the limited availability of childcare and/or domestic services) as female workers often (or are expected to) shoulder more childcare and/or household responsibilities. As a result, disasters tend to affect female worke...

摘要：Financial regulators often focus on containing risks in financial services; however, they may not simultaneously pay adequate attention to regulation's adverse effects. This study examines how the economic development of borrowers was affected by China's suppressive regulation of peer-to-peer (P2P) lending in 2018, which unexpectedly switched from an all-in policy to an all-shutdown policy, leading to a massive closure of P2P lending companies and the eventual shutdown of the entire industry b...
