Organisational Behaviour & Human Resources Research Seminar

Area Administration We challenge the implicit assumption that leadership behaviors and contexts have a clear, similarly understood meaning. Instead, we argue that many behaviors and contexts are not self-explanatory. Specific leadership behaviors can be ambiguous and possess multiple or vague meanings. The same is true for the contexts in which they are embedded as well as for what is supposed to be leadership. For example, strong criticism in a team meeting may be perceived as constructive feedback or a sanction, as part of leadership or outcome of a manager’s bad mood.  We suggest that managers can manage this ambiguity by trying to influence others’ interpretation of their behavior. Managers can do so directly, offering positive interpretations of their intentions, or indirectly, offering interpretations of the broader context, which is supposed to influence the interpretation of the behavior. The underlying mechanism rests on altering the plausibility and salience of certain interpretations compared to others. A boundary con… Subtitle: Positively sub-texting leadership: Managing the meaning of workplace behaviors and contexts (with Mats Alvesson, Lund University).

Finance Research Seminar

Area Administration Most foreign exchange transactions route through the U.S. dollar, even when the parties want to exchange two other currencies. Vehicle routing concentrates volume in dollar markets and lowers their trading costs, but a cross-currency trade pays fees and price impact on two dollar legs, while a dedicated pool for cross-currencies may attract too little volume to be economical. We ask whether a single liquidity pool containing the dollar and multiple non-dollar currencies can lower aggregate trading costs. The pool designer chooses the capital weights across currencies and the fee on each pair. With competitive liquidity provision and aggregate fee revenue set optimally, the weights determine aggregate trading costs and each pair’s price impact; the division of fees across pairs determines how those costs are shared by traders. We characterize the optimal cost of a pool and derive a closed-form condition under which it improves on vehicle routing. The condition combines return correlations and the composition o… Subtitle: Dethroning the Dollar? Optimal Multi-Asset Market Making.

Operations Management Research Seminar

Area Administration We empirically test a theory of AI over/under-reliance in a delegated and AI-assisted decision making environment that endogenizes institutional incentives for decision makers (DMs) to rely on algorithmic recommendations - because algorithms produce case-specific and auditable reference points for managerial judgments of decisions and outcomes, they provide the conditions for managers to blame DMs for algorithm overrides, and DMs to exercise their discretion (to override algorithms) defensively. We develop a model that captures these dynamics and provide empirical support for its key behavioral mechanisms and predictions. We find that DMs are able to reap (some) benefits from their private knowledge in the absence of organizational context, but when decisions are judged by a manager, they often fail to override an algorithm when they have more precise evidence to the contrary, i.e. they lower performance in the very informational state that in many settings provides the most compelling reason for keeping the… Subtitle: Managerial Blame and Defensive Adherence: How Organizations Create AI Over-Reliance.

Finance Research Seminar

Area Administration Solar geoengineering reflects incoming sunlight, offering an inexpensive and fastacting way to lower global temperatures without removing carbon from the atmosphere. A meaningful program would cost only $10 to $20 billion per year, within the technical and fiscal reach of multiple climate-vulnerable countries. The asset pricing consequences of this possibility have been largely overlooked in the climate finance literature. In this paper, we develop a macro-finance framework in which geoengineering acts as a put option on climate damages, funded by a growing “ecological debt” of masked warming. If the program ever stops, temperatures snap back in a catastrophic termination shock. We show that the anticipation of geoengineering initially subsidizes fossil fuel firms by suppressing the carbon tax, but ultimately transforms them into toxic assets as ecological debt deepens. Geoengineering and carbon dioxide removal switch from substitutes to complements once termination risk is present. Geoengineering also reshap… Subtitle: The Geoengineering Put: Ecological Debt, Termination Risk, and Asset Prices.
