Operations Management Research Seminar

Area Administration Digital nudges have the potential to enrich experiential services, but little is known about how they affect behaviors in the field. From 2022 to 2024, we run field experiments at the Van Gogh Museum, testing the effect of interventions on the multimedia tour on visitor content consumption and movements. We find that providing a highlight selection with a simple information architecture can increase consumption, coverage of the collection, without requiring more visit duration, thereby containing museum fatigue. Furthermore, faster visitor flows reduce congestion, creating a positive externality on others. Thus, well-designed digital nudges can produce more effective visits, that improve both consumer and service provider outcomes.

Operations Management Research Seminar

Area Administration This paper studies a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) between a firm and a new renewable energy generator. The firm must dynamically satisfy uncertain electricity demand beyond its existing energy sources, while wholesale electricity prices evolve stochastically over time. Upon signing a PPA, a new renewable facility becomes operational, and the firm owns its output for the contract duration. The new facility’s capacity is determined based on PPA terms. The firm dynamically chooses when to initiate the PPA and how much to pay to maximize its expected total discounted benefit. We show that the firm’s optimal timing follows a (time-dependent) threshold policy. Our results offer key insights for policymakers and renewable energy developers. We find that, contrary to common wisdom, reducing investment costs for renewable technologies can lead to smaller renewable capacity, output, and emissions savings when projects are developed under PPAs. This finding calls for caution in applying investment tax credit… Subtitle: Designing Renewable Power Purchase Agreements: Impact on Green Energy Investment.

Finance Research Seminar

Area Administration Shareholders sometimes participate in class action lawsuits against their own firms for failing to disclose adverse information. Paradoxically, these lawsuits typically result in a wealth transfer from innocent shareholders to the plaintiff class, while shareholders who benefited from the nondisclosure by selling shares before the bad news became public remain unpenalized. Although some argue that class actions create ex-ante incentives for disclosure, I show that this channel is largely ineffective. In many cases, nondisclosure is the dominant strategy for initial shareholders, as they do not bear the full cost of compensating the class. However, firms may still disclose moderately bad news strategically—both to influence litigation decisions by lawyers and to shield more severe nondisclosure from legal scrutiny. Increasing ex-post litigation penalty may further reduce disclosure incentive. Finally, I show that a higher presence of small, short-term shareholders increases both the likelihood of litigation an… Subtitle: A Theory of Shareholder Class Action.
