Many e-commerce platforms have established extensive networks of stations as their last-mile logistics infrastructure. In this study, we investigate how this last-mile infrastructure may serve as an offline platform to connect customers and merchants in the physical world and stimulate offline-to-online effect by leveraging the spontaneous walk-in traffic (organic interaction) and by prompting interested customers through online intervention (induced interaction). Using free sample distribution as an example, we design two large-scale experimental studies in collaboration with Alibaba---a quasi-experiment across 1,032 stations and a randomized field experiment among 189,019 customers---to examine the causal effects of organic and induced interactions on customers' subsequent online purchases at the focal brands, respectively. We find that induced interaction drives significantly more online sales compared with organic interaction. We further identify a textit{screening} mechanism underlying its effectiveness. Because of the additional traveling cost on the customer side, induced interaction tends to attract customers who have a stronger preference over the focal products. Such advantageous self-selection, in turn, leads to a large increase in customers' subsequent online engagement. Finally, we propose a customized targeting framework using instrumental forest to further enhance the effectiveness of induced interaction at the last-mile stations.
许多电子商务平台已经建立了广泛的站点网络,作为他们最后一英里的物流基础设施。在本研究中,我们研究了最后一英里基础设施如何作为一个线下平台,通过利用自发的走进流量(有机互动)和通过在线干预(诱导互动)来激发感兴趣的客户,从而连接实体世界中的客户和商家,并激发线下到线上的效应。以免费样本分布为例,我们与阿里巴巴合作设计了两个大型实验研究——一个是在1032个站点进行的准实验,另一个是在189019名客户中进行的随机现场实验——分别检验有机互动和诱导互动对客户随后在重点品牌上的在线购买的因果影响。我们发现,与自然互动相比,诱导互动显著地推动了更多的在线销售。我们进一步确定了其有效性的textit{筛选}机制。由于客户方面的额外旅行成本,诱导互动往往会吸引对焦点产品有更强偏好的客户。这种有利的自我选择反过来又会导致客户随后的在线参与度大幅增加。最后,我们提出了一个使用工具森林的定制目标框架,以进一步提高最后一英里站点诱导相互作用的有效性。

The Earnings Announcement Return Cycle 收益公告回归周期
Pub Date : 2019-01-07 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3183318
Juhani T. Linnainmaa, Yingguang Zhang
Stocks earn significantly negative abnormal returns before earnings announcements and positive after them. This "earnings announcement return cycle" (EARC) is unrelated to the earnings announcement premium, and it is a feature of stocks widely covered by analysts. Analysts' forecasts follow the same pattern as returns: analysts' forecasts become more optimistic after an earnings announcement and more pessimistic as the next one draws near. We attribute one-half of the earnings announcement return cycle to this optimism cycle. The EARC may stem from mispricing: both the return and optimism patterns are stronger among high-uncertainty and difficult-to-arbitrage stocks, and the EARC strategy is more profitable on days when it would accommodate larger amounts of arbitrage capital.
股票在收益公告之前获得显著的负异常收益,而在收益公告之后获得显著的正异常收益。这种“收益公告回报周期”(EARC)与收益公告溢价无关,它是分析师广泛关注的股票特征。分析师的预测遵循与回报相同的模式:在财报公布后,分析师的预测变得更加乐观,而随着下一份财报的临近,分析师的预测则变得更加悲观。我们将收益公告回归周期的一半归因于这种乐观周期。EARC可能源于错误的定价:在高不确定性和难以套利的股票中,回报和乐观模式都更强,EARC策略在能够容纳大量套利资本的日子里更有利可图。

Persuading Customers to Buy Early: The Value of Personalized Information Provisioning 说服顾客尽早购买:个性化信息供应的价值
Pub Date : 2018-10-22 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3191629

We study a pricing and information provisioning game between a better-informed seller (such as a retailer) and its customers. The seller is (ex post) better informed about product availability and can choose how to communicate this information to the customers. The customers are heterogeneous in their valuation for the product. The firm optimizes on publicly posted prices (which are the same for all customers) and its information provisioning (which can be personalized). Using a Bayesian persuasion framework, we find that public information provisioning, in which the firm sends the same information to all customers, has limited value. However, personalized information provisioning, in which the firm can share different information with different customers, has significant value and has attributes very similar to personalized pricing. This paper was accepted by Gabriel Weintraub, revenue management and market analytics.
我们研究了消息灵通的卖家(比如零售商)和顾客之间的定价和信息供给博弈。卖方(事后)可以更好地了解产品的可用性,并可以选择如何将此信息传达给客户。客户对产品的评价是不同的。该公司对公开发布的价格(对所有客户都是一样的)和它的信息供应(可以个性化)进行优化。利用贝叶斯说服框架,我们发现公司向所有客户发送相同信息的公共信息供应具有有限的价值。然而,企业可以与不同的客户共享不同的信息的个性化信息供应具有重要的价值,并且具有与个性化定价非常相似的属性。本文被收益管理和市场分析专业的Gabriel Weintraub接受。

Understanding the Impact of Multi-Dimensional Ratings on Product Sales: An Information-Inconsistency Perspective 多维评级对产品销售的影响:一个信息不一致的视角
Pub Date : 2018-03-23 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3148033

To help consumers evaluate products that often differ along multiple dimensions, many online review platforms have started to implement multi-dimensional rating systems, wherein a user provides product ratings on multiple product dimensions, in addition to an overall product rating. In contrast with prior work that has primarily focused on the effects of overall product evaluation, we explore how dimensional ratings affect product sales from an information-inconsistency perspective. Drawing on the diagnosticity theory, we examine two types of information inconsistency in multi-dimensional rating systems: inconsistency across ratings on different dimensions of a product and inconsistency across reviewers for a product dimension. Based on panel data analysis of a unique proprietary data set combining multi-dimensional rating information on 456 car brand models with their corresponding monthly sales, we find that (1) while the highest rating among different dimensions does not have a significant impact, the lowest rating among different dimensions increases product sales; (2) the rating variance among different dimensions has an inverted U-shaped relationship with product sales; and (3) the negative impact of the variance across reviewers for a dimension is contingent on whether the dimension is a vertical or a horizontal attribute. Our findings offer important theoretical and managerial implications for a better understanding of multi-dimensional rating systems.
为了帮助消费者对经常在多个维度上存在差异的产品进行评估,许多在线评论平台已经开始实施多维评级系统,其中用户除了提供整体产品评级外,还提供多个产品维度的产品评级。与先前主要关注整体产品评估影响的工作相反,我们从信息不一致的角度探讨了维度评级如何影响产品销售。利用诊断理论,我们研究了多维评级系统中的两种类型的信息不一致:产品不同维度上评级的不一致和产品维度上评论者之间的不一致。结合456个汽车品牌车型的多维度评分信息及其对应月销量,通过对专有数据集的面板数据分析,我们发现(1)不同维度间评分最高的对产品销量影响不显著,而不同维度间评分最低的对产品销量影响显著;(2)不同维度间的评分方差与产品销售呈倒u型关系;(3)对一个维度的审阅者之间的方差的负面影响取决于该维度是垂直的还是水平的属性。我们的发现为更好地理解多维评级系统提供了重要的理论和管理意义。

Auctions with Endogenous Initiation 具有内生启动的拍卖
Pub Date : 2018-02-16 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3014110
Alexander S. Gorbenko, A. Malenko
We study initiation of takeover auctions by potential buyers and the seller. A bidder's indication of interest reveals that she is optimistic about the target. If bidders' values have a substantial common component, as in takeover battles between financial bidders, this effect disincentivizes bidders from indicating interest, and auctions are seller‐initiated. Conversely, in private‐value auctions, such as battles between strategic bidders, equilibria can feature both seller‐ and bidder‐initiated auctions, with the likelihood of the latter decreasing in commonality of values and the probability of a forced sale by the seller. We also relate initiation to bids and auction outcomes.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved
我们研究了潜在买家和卖家发起收购拍卖。竞标者表现出的兴趣表明,她对收购目标持乐观态度。如果竞标者的价值有相当大的共同组成部分,如在金融竞标者之间的收购战中,这种效应会抑制竞标者表明兴趣,拍卖是卖方发起的。相反,在私人价值拍卖中,如战略竞标者之间的竞争,平衡可以以卖方和投标人发起的拍卖为特征,后者有可能降低价值的共性,并有可能被卖方强迫出售。我们还将启动与出价和拍卖结果联系起来。这篇文章受版权保护。版权所有

The 'Make and/or Buy' Decisions of Corporate Political Lobbying: Integrating the Economic Efficiency and Legitimacy Perspectives 企业政治游说的“制造或购买”决策:整合经济效率和合法性视角
Pub Date : 2017-06-16 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2943585

This paper examines political lobbying and investigates firms’ decisions regarding whether to employ internal functionalities (i.e., to “make” or insource), to contract with external professionals (i.e., to “buy” or outsource), or to do both (i.e., to “make and buy” or plural source). I first develop an integrated framework based on the twin perspectives of economic efficiency and legitimacy. When the political audience faces little uncertainty about lobbying content, firms make sourcing decisions to maximize economic efficiency in producing such content in line with transaction cost economics and the capabilities view. However, when the political audience faces substantial uncertainty about lobbying content, it relies on the perceived legitimacy of the lobbying entity to draw inferences about the quality of the such content; therefore, the legitimacy of a potential lobbying entity matters to firms making sourcing decisions related to lobbying. Then, I connect firms’ sourcing decisions with several concrete characteristics of lobbying entities that can affect political audiences’ judgment regarding their legitimacy. Finally, I examine the tension that develops when legitimacy and economic efficiency considerations call for different forms of sourcing, and I examine how complementarities in plural sourcing help resolve this tension in certain situations.
本文考察了政治游说,并调查了公司是否决定采用内部功能(即“制造”或内包),与外部专业人员签订合同(即“购买”或外包),或两者兼而有之(即“制造和购买”或多重来源)。我首先基于经济效率和合法性的双重视角,建立了一个综合框架。当政治受众对游说内容的不确定性很小时,企业根据交易成本经济学和能力观点做出采购决策,以最大化生产此类内容的经济效率。然而,当政治受众面临游说内容的实质性不确定性时,他们依赖于游说实体的感知合法性来推断这些内容的质量;因此,潜在游说实体的合法性对公司做出与游说相关的采购决策至关重要。然后,我将公司的采购决策与游说实体的几个具体特征联系起来,这些特征会影响政治受众对其合法性的判断。最后,我研究了当合法性和经济效率考虑要求不同形式的采购时所产生的紧张关系,并研究多元采购中的互补性如何在某些情况下帮助解决这种紧张关系。

Retail Prices: New Evidence from Argentina 零售价格:阿根廷的新证据
Pub Date : 2017-05-09 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2989324
Diego Daruich, J. Kozlowski
We create a new database of retail prices in Argentina with over 10 million observations per day. Our main novel finding is that, different from Kaplan, Menzio, Rudanko, and Trachter (2016), chains, rather than stores, explain most of the price variation in our data. We show this in three ways: (a) Even though chains have on average 158 stores, there are on average less than 2.5 unique prices per product by chain; (b) Among products that change prices in one store, the probability that other stores of the same chain also change the price of the same product in the same day is 2.4 times the probability for other stores of any chain; and (c) A formal variance decomposition shows that only 28% of the price dispersion (for the same product, day, and city) is explained by stores setting different prices within a chain. This finding is relevant for retail-pricing theories since there are significantly fewer chains than stores, which matters for the degree of competition in the market. This paper also studies the heterogeneity in price changes and price dispersion across product categories.
我们创建了一个新的阿根廷零售价格数据库,每天有超过1000万的观察结果。我们主要的新奇发现是,与Kaplan、Menzio、Rudanko和Trachter(2016)不同的是,在我们的数据中,连锁店而不是商店解释了大部分的价格变化。我们通过三种方式证明了这一点:(a)尽管连锁店平均有158家门店,但连锁店平均每个产品的独特价格不到2.5个;(b)在某家门店发生价格变化的产品中,同一连锁的其他门店在同一天发生相同产品价格变化的概率是同一连锁的其他门店发生价格变化概率的2.4倍;(c)正式的方差分解表明,只有28%的价格差异(对于相同的产品、日期和城市)是由连锁店内的商店设定不同的价格来解释的。这一发现与零售定价理论有关,因为连锁店明显少于商店,这对市场竞争的程度很重要。本文还研究了价格变化的异质性和产品类别之间的价格分散。

Network Isolates: Entrepreneurial Bootstrapping and the Social Disconnection of New Organizations in the Mobile App Ecosystem 网络隔离:移动应用生态系统中新组织的创业启动和社会脱节
Pub Date : 2017-01-12 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2907526

Extensive prior literature has studied how young organizations are impacted by and often benefit from embeddedness in key industry networks. Indeed, some research advises that entrepreneurs “don’t go it alone” (Baum, Calabrese, and Silverman, 2000). This literature has also highlighted a dynamic whereby young organizations with higher quality are most likely to sort into these networks. Yet this perspective often fails to consider the drivers and prevalence of high-quality young organizations not becoming embedded, and instead remaining network isolates. Drawing on resource dependence and exchange theory’s emphasis on network ties arising from mutual and balanced interdependence, we explicate how organizational design decisions, current performance, and competitive pressures influence whether a young organization remains a network isolate. We test and find support for our arguments using an unusually rich, complete, and large “big data” dataset that captures all competitors in the mobile app ecosystem on the Apple iPhone ecosystem over a period of 5 years, showing that a substantial fraction of high-performing mobile app developers remain outside of the venture finance network.
大量先前的文献研究了年轻的组织如何受到关键行业网络的嵌入性的影响,并经常从中受益。事实上,一些研究建议企业家“不要单干”(Baum, Calabrese, and Silverman, 2000)。这些文献还强调了一种动态,即质量较高的年轻组织最有可能进入这些网络。然而,这种观点往往没有考虑到高质量年轻组织的驱动因素和流行程度,这些组织没有嵌入网络,而是保持网络隔离。利用资源依赖和交换理论对相互和平衡的相互依赖所产生的网络联系的强调,我们解释了组织设计决策、当前绩效和竞争压力如何影响一个年轻的组织是否保持网络孤立。我们使用了一个异常丰富、完整、庞大的“大数据”数据集(该数据集捕获了苹果iPhone生态系统中移动应用生态系统中的所有竞争对手,历时5年),对我们的论点进行了测试并找到了支持,结果表明,相当一部分高性能移动应用开发者仍未进入风险融资网络。

Indeed, some research advises that entrepreneurs “don’t go it alone” (Baum, Calabrese, and Silverman, 2000). This literature has also highlighted a dynamic whereby young organizations with higher quality are most likely to sort into these networks. Yet this perspective often fails to consider the drivers and prevalence of high-quality young organizations not becoming embedded, and instead remaining network isolates. Drawing on resource dependence and exchange theory’s emphasis on network ties arising from mutual and balanced interdependence, we explicate how organizational design decisions, current performance, and competitive pressures influence whether a young organization remains a network isolate.
