Digital Business Research Peak Seminar Series

Area Administration We study the welfare consequences of choice architecture for online privacy using a field experiment that randomizes cookie consent banners. We study three ways in which firms or policymakers can influence choices: (1) nudging users through banner design to encourage acceptance of cookie tracking; (2) setting defaults when users dismiss banners; and (3) implementing consent decisions at the website versus browser level. Absent design manipulation, users accept all cookies more than half of the time. Placing cookie options behind extra clicks strongly influences choices, shifting users toward more easily accessible alternatives. Many users dismiss banners without making an explicit choice, underscoring the importance of default settings. Survey evidence further reveals substantial confusion about default settings. Our structural estimates show that among consent policies requiring site-specific decisions, consumer surplus is maximized when consent interfaces clearly display all options and default to acceptanc… Subtitle: Designing Consent: Choice Architecture and Consumer Welfare in Data Sharing.

Strategy & Entrepreneurship Research Seminar

Area Administration Industry accidents often trigger widespread attempts to improve performance across firms. While prior work has examined reactive organizational outcomes, this study shifts attention to the individual level, where the effort to improve connects organizational reactions to crises with performance change. Accordingly, this study examines how individual agents respond to industry crises that expose shortcomings in their field, focusing on individual-level professionalism—an attribute closely tied to how agents approach and sustain performance efforts—as a key source of variation in how agents translate external pressure into efforts for performance improvement. Using fine-grained data from a leading maritime inspection firm's internal information system, we observe agents’ time-stamped revisions to refine their work captured through system-generated digital log data. These measures provide unique insights into effort that would otherwise remain unobservable, and whose impact would be undetectable in conventional… Subtitle: WHO STRIVES WHEN IT MATTERS: INDIVIDUAL PROFESSIONALISM AND EFFORT AFTER CRISIS.

Digital Business Research Peak Seminar Series

Area Administration We study whether greater digital engagement increases the risk of identity theft by exploiting bank branch closures as a shock that shifts economic activity online. Using a quasi-natural experiment, we find causal evidence that branch closures increase identity theft, particularly in more vulnerable communities. Exposed consumers spend more time on mobile apps and shift their expenditures from offline to online channels. Adversarial activities associated with identity theft, such as unwanted calls and phishing attempts, increase after branch closures. Overall, our evidence suggests that digitalization offers consumer benefits, but also imposes hidden privacy costs. Subtitle: Grand Theft Identity: The Privacy Costs of Digitalization.

Lee Kong Chian Professorship Public Lecture

Area Administration Neglected diseases disproportionately affect developing and poor countries. Privately held biopharmaceutical firms often lack adequate financial incentives to invest in drug development for these diseases. In this paper, we build a principal-agent model to help governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) manage a multilateral alliance to develop a new drug for neglected diseases. The model consists of three parties: A funding NGO with a social welfare objective; a privately held innovation specialist (innovator) and a privately held manufacturing specialist (manufacturer). We assume the innovator can invest two types of R&D efforts: one toward efficacy and safety, which creates the likelihood of drug approval by relevant regulatory authority; and the other toward manufacturability, which decreases the marginal cost of production once successful. We characterize the optimal contract structures for the NGO to incentivize the other two parties, and the condition when the NGO should induce investment in… Subtitle: Multilateral Alliances for the Development and Distribution of Drugs for Neglected Diseases.
