摘要：In this paper, we explore the decoy effect in recommendation systems. Including a decoy item in a set of alternatives can influence the attractiveness of the other items by facilitating decision making. Prior research literature has indeed shown the decoy effect to be robust in traditional choice settings, with consistent reporting of an overall positive impact. Practitioners often use decoys to help drive demand for specific items. Recommendation systems too are increasingly being used to pre...

摘要：As artificial intelligence (AI) solutions are being rapidly deployed, they increasingly compete with human labor. This study examines designers' strategies in response to the threat from the introduction of an AI system for simple logo designs in a crowdsourcing design platform. We study designers who were active both before and after the introduction of the AI system to understand their responses to the threat from AI. Our study is informed by the theories of threat, specifically the protecti...

摘要：Moving toward sustainable energy systems to address climate change is one of the key challenges of our generation. To that end, investments in renewable energy and balancing renewable supply and energy demand on the larger scale are crucial. One mechanism to create price signals for demand balancing, as well as for consumer engagement, is to establish trading platforms (or peer-to-peer (P2P) markets) through which households can directly buy and sell renewable energy. However, residential cons...

摘要：This paper examines the potential economic spillover effects of a home-sharing platform-Airbnb-on the growth of a complimentary local service-restaurants. By circumventing traditional land-use regulations and providing access to underutilized inventory, Airbnb attracts visitors to locales that are not traditional tourist destinations. Although visitors generally bring significant spending power, it is unclear whether visitors use Airbnb primarily for lodging and thus do not contribute to the a...

摘要：This paper provides the first large-scale evidence of business-to-customer racial bias (B2C bias) on a digital platform, on which the perpetrators are individual employees who act on behalf of a company and the victims are customers. This is in contrast to existing studies of racial bias on digital platforms that focus on peer-to-peer marketplaces (e.g., eBay), in which both the perpetrators and the victims are individuals acting independently and on their own behalf. In particular, we present...

摘要：The authors of this research investigate the effects of hedonic and utilitarian message appeals in firm-generated content on product performance measured by daily sales. The results from a multiproduct category, large-scale empirical study with data collected from a variety of sources show that hedonic appeals have a higher positive impact than utilitarian appeals on product performance. The authors also illustrate that message appeals have positive effects on product performance only when mes...

摘要：Existing scholarship on social media provides us with important but incomplete insights regarding how people rely upon social media as they work. Scholarship so far focuses on social media as technologies that enable and constrain people to do certain things. This study proposes a perspective on social media for work that views them not only as technologies that enable people to do certain things, but also as contexts with emerging norms and roles in which people participated. As they do so, p...

摘要：Demand-side platforms (DSPs) that purchase digital ad space using real-time bidding (RTB) systems employ black-box performance optimizers to adjust bids at run time. Advertisers using field experiments to estimate the marginal value of display ads need to contend with the selective targeting of users by optimizers that adjust bids to target users with a greater propensity to respond favorably (i.e., click or conversion). in this paper, we propose an alternative approach for advertisers who cho...

摘要：Subscription-based crowdfunding (SBC) is an emerging platform for creators of digital content (e.g., music, comics, stories, and videos) to build their person brands and garner support from fans. A unique feature that sets SBC apart from other crowdfunding models is the creator-centered freemium model. That is, creators can offer free content to attract fans, who can then subscribe to financially support a creator; in return, the backers gain access to the creator's premium content and exclusi...
