Antecedents and Consequences of Mutual Knowledge in Teams 团队中相互知识的前因后果
Pub Date : 2008-11-10 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1299260

A tension exists between two well-established streams of literature on the performance of teams. One stream contends that teams with diverse backgrounds, social structures, knowledge, and experience function more effectively because they bring novel information to bear on problems that cannot be solved by groups of homogeneous individuals. In contrast, the literature on mutual knowledge contends that shared information and experience is essential to effective communication, trust, understanding and coordination among team members. Furthermore, several distinct antecedents of mutual information and knowledge have been hypothesized, making it difficult to manage information overlap in teams. In this paper, we use a unique data set of observed email content from 1382 executive recruiting teams and detailed accounting data on their productivity to examine both the antecedents and performance effects of shared versus diverse information. We find clear evidence of an inverted-U shaped relationship between mutual information and team productivity. A significant amount of information overlap among team members is associated with higher performance while extremes of too little or too much mutual information hamper performance. We also find that geographic dispersion and social network distance are strong predictors of mutual knowledge failures, while demographic dissimilarity and organizational distance do not predict the degree of mutual information in our data. Our work helps bring together the divergent streams of literature on mutual knowledge, information diversity, and the management of team performance.
关于团队表现的两种公认的文学流派之间存在着紧张关系。一种观点认为,具有不同背景、社会结构、知识和经验的团队更有效地发挥作用,因为他们能带来新的信息,解决同质个体无法解决的问题。相反,关于互知的文献认为,共享信息和经验对于团队成员之间的有效沟通、信任、理解和协调至关重要。此外,已经假设了相互信息和知识的几个不同的先决条件,这使得管理团队中的信息重叠变得困难。在本文中,我们使用了一个独特的数据集,从1382个高管招聘团队观察到的电子邮件内容和详细的会计数据,他们的生产力来检查共享与多样化信息的前因和绩效影响。我们发现了相互信息与团队生产力之间存在倒u型关系的明显证据。团队成员之间的大量信息重叠与更高的绩效相关,而相互信息太少或太多的极端情况会阻碍绩效。我们还发现,地理分散和社会网络距离是相互知识失效的强预测因子,而人口统计学差异和组织距离不能预测数据中的相互信息程度。我们的工作有助于汇集关于相互知识、信息多样性和团队绩效管理的不同文献流。

A Retail Benchmarking Approach to Efficient Two-Way Access Pricing: Termination-Based Price Discrimination with Elastic Subscription Demand 有效双向接入定价的零售基准方法:弹性订阅需求下基于终端的价格歧视
Pub Date : 2008-11-04 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1303664
Sjaak Hurkens, Doh-Shin Jeon
We study how access pricing affects network competition when consumers' subscription demand is elastic and networks compete with non-linear prices and can use termination-based price discrimination. In the case of a fixed per minute termination charge, our model generalizes the results of Gans and King (2001), Dessein (2003) and Calzada and Valletti (2008). We show that a reduction of the termination charge below cost has two opposing effects: it softens competition and it helps to internalize network externalities. The former reduces consumer surplus while the latter increases it. Firms always prefer termination charge below cost, either to soften competition or to internalize the network effect. The regulator will favor termination below cost only when this boosts market penetration. Next, we consider the retail benchmarking approach (Jeon and Hurkens, 2008) that determines termination charges as a function of retail prices and show that this approach allows the regulator to increase subscription without distorting call volumes. Furthermore, we show that an informed regulator can even implement the first-best outcome by using this approach.
研究了当用户订阅需求是弹性的,网络竞争是非线性的,并且可以使用基于终端的价格歧视时,接入定价对网络竞争的影响。在每分钟固定终止费用的情况下,我们的模型推广了Gans和King(2001)、Dessein(2003)和Calzada和Valletti(2008)的结果。我们表明,将终止费降低到成本以下有两个相反的效果:它软化了竞争,并有助于内部化网络外部性。前者减少消费者剩余,后者增加消费者剩余。企业总是倾向于收取低于成本的终止费,要么是为了缓和竞争,要么是为了内化网络效应。只有当低于成本的终止能提高市场渗透率时,监管机构才会赞成。接下来,我们考虑零售基准方法(Jeon和Hurkens, 2008),该方法将终止费用确定为零售价格的函数,并表明该方法允许监管机构在不扭曲呼叫量的情况下增加订阅。此外,我们表明,知情的监管者甚至可以通过使用这种方法实现最佳结果。

Social Networks and the News: An Agent-Based Model of a Media Market 社交网络与新闻:媒介市场的一个基于代理的模型
Pub Date : 2008-11-03 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1354142
Oleg Smirnov, Allan T. Ingraham
We propose an agent-based computational model of a media market that consists of two connected levels: media voices reporting news and households forming a social network. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to model news dissemination in large media markets, as our model accounts for social networks of hundreds of thousands of agents. The model can be applied to address a variety of research questions, including media diversity. Here we report how the basic media market and social network characteristics affect news dissemination among the households.
我们提出了一个基于主体的媒体市场计算模型,该模型由两个相连的层次组成:媒体报道新闻的声音和形成社会网络的家庭。据我们所知,这是第一次尝试在大型媒体市场中建立新闻传播模型,因为我们的模型考虑了数十万个代理的社交网络。该模型可用于解决各种研究问题,包括媒体多样性。在此,我们报告了基本媒体市场和社会网络特征如何影响新闻在家庭中的传播。

Constructing Carbon Market Spacetime: Implications for Neo-Modernity 构建碳市场时空:对新现代性的启示
Pub Date : 2008-10-30 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1292323
Janelle Knox‐Hayes
Capitalist development is framed in two epochs with distinctive (if overlapping) socio-political, economic and cultural features-modernity and post-modernity. Constant through each epoch has been the drive to increase control of collective organization in space and time. This paper suggests that a new epoch has emerged, where humanity has become such a force of nature so as to destabilize its own environment and ultimately threaten its survival - neo-modernity. This paper explores the creation of markets to commoditize the atmosphere and control greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon markets are an important infrastructure to enable humanity to integrate nature into its socio-political and economic organization. The carbon markets are the beginning, the embodiment of a process designed to reorganize human activities, but also to organize a newly elevated natural environment. As with other epochs, the key to success in neo-modernity is organizing complex and divergent human activities across space and time. Using an institutional approach, built on case-studies and close dialogue with market participants in the London, New York, Chicago, Paris and Washington D.C. this paper analyzes the construction of carbon markets, including 1) how the markets organize the environment in space and time, and 2) how market members organize themselves in space and time. Particular attention is paid to the compressions of the spacetime of carbon commodities through the establishment of platforms, exchanges and verifiers. This paper argues that markets are coordinating networks - the epitome of neo-modernity infrastructure.
资本主义的发展分为两个时代,具有鲜明的(如果重叠的话)社会政治、经济和文化特征——现代性和后现代性。在每一个时代,不断增加对集体组织在空间和时间上的控制的动力。本文认为,一个新的时代已经出现,在这个时代,人类已经成为一种自然的力量,从而破坏了自己的环境,最终威胁到自己的生存——新现代性。本文探讨了市场的创建,以商品化大气和控制温室气体排放。碳市场是一个重要的基础设施,使人类能够将自然融入其社会政治和经济组织。碳市场是一个开始,是一个旨在重组人类活动的过程的体现,也是一个组织新提升的自然环境的过程。与其他时代一样,新现代性成功的关键是组织跨越空间和时间的复杂和不同的人类活动。本文采用制度方法,通过案例研究和与伦敦、纽约、芝加哥、巴黎和华盛顿等地的市场参与者的密切对话,分析了碳市场的构建,包括1)市场如何在空间和时间上组织环境,以及2)市场成员如何在空间和时间上组织自己。特别注重通过建立平台、交易所和验证者来压缩碳商品的时空。本文认为,市场是协调网络——新现代性基础设施的缩影。

Lock Down on the Third Screen: How Wireless Carriers Evade Regulation of Their Video Services 锁定第三屏:无线运营商如何逃避对其视频服务的监管
Pub Date : 2008-10-29 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.1291881
R. Frieden
Wireless handsets increasingly offer subscribers a third screen for accessing the Internet and video programming. The converging technologies and markets that make this possible present a major regulatory quandary, because national regulatory authorities seek to maintain mutual exclusivity between regulated telecommunications services and largely unregulated information services. Many existing and emerging services do not easily fit into one or the other regulatory classification, nor can the Federal Communications Commission determine the appropriate classification by extrapolating from the regulatory model applied to existing or discontinued services. By failing to specify what model applies to services appearing on cellphone screens, the FCC has failed to remove regulatory uncertainty. Cellular telephone service providers may infer from the Commission's inaction that any convergent service eventually will qualify for the unregulated information service "safe harbor" despite plausible arguments that government oversight remains essential to achieve consumer protection, national security, fair trade practice, and other safeguards. This essay will examine the regulatory status of wireless carrier-delivered video content with an eye toward determining the necessary scope and nature of government oversight. The essay reports on instances where the FCC deemed it necessary to promote video programming competition and subscriber access to wired cable television content, and concludes that wireless subscribers deserve similar efforts in light of wireless carriers' incentives and abilities to blunt competition. The essay concludes that NRAs must balance the carriers' interests in finding new revenue centers to pay for next generation network upgrades with subscribers' interests in maximizing their freedom to use handsets they own.
无线手机越来越多地为用户提供第三个屏幕来访问互联网和视频节目。使这种情况成为可能的趋同技术和市场造成了一个重大的管理难题,因为国家管理当局力图在受管制的电信服务和基本上不受管制的信息服务之间保持相互排他性。许多现有的和新兴的服务不容易归入一种或另一种监管分类,联邦通信委员会也不能通过从适用于现有或已终止服务的监管模型中推断出适当的分类。由于未能明确规定哪种模式适用于出现在手机屏幕上的服务,FCC未能消除监管上的不确定性。移动电话服务提供商可能会从委员会的不作为中推断,任何融合服务最终都有资格获得不受监管的信息服务“安全港”,尽管似乎有理由认为,政府监督对于实现消费者保护、国家安全、公平贸易实践和其他保障措施仍然至关重要。本文将考察无线运营商提供的视频内容的监管状况,着眼于确定政府监管的必要范围和性质。这篇文章报告了FCC认为有必要促进视频节目竞争和有线有线电视内容的用户接入的实例,并得出结论,鉴于无线运营商的动机和削弱竞争的能力,无线用户应该得到类似的努力。这篇文章的结论是,nra必须平衡运营商寻找新收入中心来支付下一代网络升级的利益,以及用户最大限度地自由使用自己手机的利益。

Market Entry in E-Commerce 电子商务的市场进入
Pub Date : 2008-10-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1286309
Maximilian Kasy, Michael E. Kummer
We analyze the behavior of start-ups in e-commerce, namely on Austria's leading price-comparison-site, a multi-product environment with almost complete information. We use weekly panel data on price-quotes of digicams, Audio/HiFi-equipment and hardware. We furthermore use advanced estimation methods, which, having only recently been introduced to IO, aim at using a minimum of modeling assumptions. Thus, being able to trace the behavior of roughly 350 start-up companies and 600 incumbents, we investigate whether start-ups have a different composition of product-portfolios, charge lower prices and offer fewer goods.
我们分析了电子商务初创企业的行为,即奥地利领先的比价网站,一个拥有几乎完整信息的多产品环境。我们使用每周面板数据报价的数码相机,音频/高保真设备和硬件。此外,我们还使用了最近才引入IO的高级估计方法,旨在使用最少的建模假设。因此,通过追踪大约350家初创公司和600家老牌公司的行为,我们调查了初创公司是否有不同的产品组合构成,收取更低的价格,提供更少的商品。

The Demand for Products Linked to Public Goods: Evidence from an Online Field Experiment 与公共产品相关的产品需求:来自在线实地实验的证据
Pub Date : 2008-10-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1286277
Brian McManus, R. Bennet
We conduct a field experiment at a nonprofit organization's online store to study how demand changes when consumers' purchases can generate revenue for a charitable cause. When purchases can trigger a small donation by an outside anonymous group, consumers respond strongly and apparently without regard for the specific conditions that trigger the donation. Consumers respond similarly when the outside donation requires a personal donation which consumers generally decline. When the outside donations are relatively large, however, consumers appear to pay close attention to the trigger conditions, and increase their purchases only where needed to generate the outside donation. Overall, increasing the salience of financial incentives weakens consumers' positive responses to the outside group's donation pledges. We also present evidence that the donation pledges have positive long-term effects on demand and may reduce price sensitivity.
我们在一家非营利组织的网上商店进行了实地实验,研究当消费者的购买为慈善事业带来收入时,需求是如何变化的。当购买可以触发外部匿名团体的小额捐赠时,消费者的反应强烈而明显,而不考虑触发捐赠的具体条件。当外部捐赠需要个人捐赠时,消费者的反应也类似,而消费者通常会拒绝这种捐赠。然而,当外部捐赠相对较大时,消费者似乎密切关注触发条件,只在需要产生外部捐赠时才增加购买。总的来说,增加财政激励的显著性削弱了消费者对外部团体捐赠承诺的积极反应。我们还提供证据表明,捐赠承诺对需求有积极的长期影响,并可能降低价格敏感性。

Market Penetration and Late Entry in Mobile Telephony 移动电话的市场渗透和后期进入
Pub Date : 2008-10-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1291952
Steffen Hoernig
We consider some two dynamic models of entry in mobile telephony, with and without strategic pricing, and taking into account market penetration at entry, locked-in consumers and tariff-mediated network externalities. We show that on/off-net differentials may reduce the possibility of entry if incumbents are large, while they have no long-run effects if there are no locked-in consumers, or reduce the difference in subscriber numbers in their presence. Asymmetric fixed-to-mobile or mobile-to-mobile termination rates increase (decrease) market share and profit of the network with the higher (lower) rate. While the fixed-to-mobile waterbed effect is not full at the network level, it will be full in the aggregate.
我们考虑了移动电话进入的两种动态模型,有和没有战略定价,并考虑了进入时的市场渗透率、锁定消费者和关税介导的网络外部性。我们表明,如果现有企业规模较大,网络上/网络外的差异可能会降低进入的可能性,而如果没有锁定的消费者,它们不会产生长期影响,或者减少他们存在时用户数量的差异。不对称的固对移动或移动对移动终端速率随着速率的升高(降低)而增加(降低)网络的市场份额和利润。固-动水床效应在网络层面上并不充分,但在骨料层面上会充分发挥作用。

While the fixed-to-mobile waterbed effect is not full at the network level, it will be full in the aggregate.","PeriodicalId":343564,"journal":{"name":"Economics of Networks","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126788645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A SSNIP Test for Two-Sided Markets: The Case of Media 双边市场的SSNIP测试:以媒体为例
Pub Date : 2008-10-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1287442

I discuss the design and implementation of a SSNIP test in order to identify the relevant market in a media market. I argue that in such a two-sided market the traditional SSNIP test cannot be applied as it is usually conceived but rather should be modified in order to take into account indirect network externalities. I discuss the issues of which price the hypothetical monopolist should be thought of as raising, of whether we should look at profits changes on only one side or on both sides of the market and of which feedback among the two sides of the market we should take into account. I then derive the relevant formulas for Critical Loss Analysis. These look much uglier than in a single-sided market but in fact they are easy to calculate as they are still expressed in terms of elasticities and of current observed markups, prices and quantities. Data requirements are however higher as one needs to estimate the matrixes of the own and cross price elasticities of demand on the two-sides of the market and the matrixes of the network effects. The paper fills a gap in the economic literature, so much more as market definition in media markets is at the centre of many recent competition policy and regulation cases around the world.
我讨论了SSNIP测试的设计和实现,以确定媒体市场中的相关市场。我认为,在这样一个双边市场中,传统的SSNIP测试不能像通常设想的那样适用,而是应该进行修改,以考虑到间接的网络外部性。我讨论了以下问题:假设的垄断者应该被认为提高了哪些价格;我们是应该只关注市场的一边还是两边的利润变化;我们应该考虑市场两边的哪些反馈。然后推导出临界损失分析的相关公式。这些看起来比单面市场难看得多,但实际上它们很容易计算,因为它们仍然用弹性和当前观察到的加价、价格和数量来表示。然而,数据要求更高,因为人们需要估计市场双方需求的自身和交叉价格弹性矩阵以及网络效应的矩阵。这篇论文填补了经济学文献中的一个空白,更重要的是,媒体市场的市场定义是最近世界各地许多竞争政策和监管案例的核心。
