摘要：We study how investors in peer-to-peer (P2P) lending use their information advantages in decisions on when to place bids. Literature documents that better-informed bidders may withhold bidding until the last moment (i.e., sniping) to avoid competition. We argue that, because a collective effort frominvestors is required in P2P lending, it could be optimal for informed investors to bid early in projects with a low probability of being funded with the purpose of signaling the quality of these pr...

摘要：In this paper, we study an important problem of parsing contextual information from user reviews for recommendation purposes. First, we study the ways contextual information is expressed in user reviews and obtain novel insights about it. Among other things, we demonstrate that such type of information tends to appear at the beginning of the review, in longer sentences, in the sentences written in the past tense or using gerund form, and in the sentences referring to some points in time. Secon...

摘要：The proliferation of omnichannel practices and emerging technologies opens up new opportunities for companies to collect voluminous data across multiple channels. This study examines whether leveraging omnichannel data can lead to, statistically and economically, significantly better predictions on consumers' online path-to-purchase journeys, given the intrinsic fluidity in and heterogeneity brought forth by the digital transformation of traditional marketing. Using an omnichannel data set tha...

摘要：We study the use of platform-specific tradable cryptographic tokens to solve the coordination problemthat is common in adopting newmarketplaces. We show that certain characteristics of platform-specific tokens-specifically, their tradability, the ability of the platform to commit both to accept and to require these tokens in the future, and the ability to commit to a price and/or quantity schedule-can help overcome the coordination problem and can support equilibria favorable to the new market...

摘要：Firms and organizations are increasingly using real-time performance feedback mechanisms to evaluate employees, where any employee (rather than just the supervisor) can rate other employees. Hence, a need arises to better understand how network positions of employees in such a system impact their performance. Analyzing nearly 4,000 feedback instances from employees at five major organizations that use such a real-time performance feedback application called DevelapMe, we explore the effects of...

摘要：This study employs a mixed-methods approach to examine how trial use of an IT can induce stress that leads individuals to reject the IT. In our qualitative study (Study 1), we identify eight technostress creators encountered during trial use of a specific IT. Then, in our quantitative study (Study 2), we show that these trial-period technostress creators reduce user satisfaction and increase intention to reject. Also, we demonstrate that motivation to learn and personal innovativeness in IT, t...

摘要：Digital ventures typically face significant growth expectations. A common response is to extend the current operations into new areas through repurposing its digital core (e.g., search engine, data mining technique, platform, or voice interface). Grounded in prior literature, we surmise that the high versatility of the digital venture's digital core facilitates such an extension by reducing cost and increasing speed. However, we know little about the process by which digital ventures draw on t...

摘要：Congestion is a common issue in digital platform markets, wherein users tend to focus their attention on a subset of popular peers. We examine this issue in the context of online dating, considering the potential efficacy of an informational intervention, namely, the disclosure of peers' recent demand. In doing so, we first note that the benefits of disclosing demand information are not altogether clear in this context, a priori, because dating platforms are distinct from other platforms in se...

摘要：This study examines the impact of technological acquisitions on contributions to firm-sponsored community-based open-source software (OSS). We distinguish between internal contributors affiliated with target firms and external contributors from the community, and examine how they respond to technological acquisitions differently. Theoretically, we examine how technological acquisition influences contributors' uncertainty about project quality through a signaling effect and influences their unc...

摘要：The rise of the sharing economy has disrupted traditional industries and has had many unforeseen societal impacts. This has sparked policy debates on whether and how the sharing economy should be regulated to promote the healthy growth of such markets. In this research, we examine the impact of platform selfregulations in the context of the home-sharing market. Using policy changes that reduce the number of Airbnb listings, we deploy a difference-in- difference approach to empirically test the...
