Operations Management Research Seminar

Area Administration In recent years, there has been an explosion of interest in the mathematics and applications of inverse optimization. Inverse optimization describes a process that is the “reverse” of traditional mathematical optimization. Unlike traditional optimization, which seeks to compute optimal decisions given an objective and constraints, inverse optimization takes decisions as input and determines objective and/or constraint parameters that render these decisions approximately or exactly optimal. In this talk, I will provide a survey and overview of this research area. Along the way, I will also discuss my own research contributions and point out promising directions for future research. Subtitle: Inverse Optimization: Theory and Applications. Speaker Details: Associate Professor Ian Zhu NUS Business School Ian Zhu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Analytics and Operations at NUS Business School. His research interests broadly span all aspects of data-driven optimization, with a particular emphasis on learning and solving high-dimensional decision-making problems. Ian's work has been published in leading INFORMS journals and has been recognized in various paper competitions. Type: Seminars & Workshops. Subject: Operations Management.

Finance Research Seminar

Area Administration We bring to bear a novel dataset covering the employment history of about 450 million individuals from 180 countries to study return migration and the impact of skilled international migration on human capital stocks across countries. Return migration is a common phenomenon, with 38% of skilled migrants returning to their origin countries within 10 years. Return migration is significantly correlated with industry growth in the origin and destination countries, and is asymmetrically exposed to negative firm employment growth. Using an AKM-style model, we identify worker and country-firm fixed effects, as well as the returns to experience and education by location and current workplace. For workers in emerging economies, the returns to a year of experience in the United States are 59-212% higher than a year of experience in the origin country. Migrants to advanced economies are positively selected on ability relative to stayers, while within this migrant population, returnees exhibit lower ability.

SOSS Seminar | Shaping Pride from Abroad: The Impact of Foreign Praise on National Pride

School of Social Sciences National pride directly shapes substantive outcomes in domestic and international politics, including fiscal compliance with the state, support for trade protectionism and globalization, and openness to immigration. Extant research has focused on the domestic determinants of national pride, including a country’s economic and cultural achievements and ethnic representation in national politics. This paper proposes a novel argument highlighting how foreign diplomatic actors shape national pride. It is common that countries publicly praise other nations to foster closer relations, and we claim that these attempts are only conditionally effective. Through a survey experiment conducted in the Philippines, we show that the effect of foreign praise is moderated by the praising country's status relative to the home country and sincerity is the mechanism underpinning this relationship. This research offers insights into international and psychological dimensions of national pride previously unstudied. Contact: socsc_seminar@smu.edu.sg.

Marketing Research Seminar

Area Administration Large language models (LLMs) have quickly become popular as labor-augmenting tools for programming, writing, and many other processes that benefit from quick text generation. In this paper we explore the uses and benefits of LLMs for researchers and practitioners who aim to understand consumer preferences. We focus on the distributional nature of LLM responses, and query the Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3.5 (GPT-3.5) model to generate hundreds of survey responses to each prompt. We offer two sets of results to illustrate our approach and assess it. First, we show that GPT-3.5, a widely-used LLM, responds to sets of survey questions in ways that are consistent with economic theory and well-documented patterns of consumer behavior, including downward-sloping demand curves and state dependence. Second, we show that estimates of willingness-to-pay for products and features generated by GPT-3.5 are of realistic magnitudes and match estimates from a recent study that elicited preferences from human consumers.… Subtitle: Using GPT for Market Research.

Strategy & Entrepreneurship Research Seminar

Area Administration Extensive research has demonstrated that organizations draw on their indirect ties via informed intermediaries to evaluate investment targets but has paid less attention to when and how such ties enable superior investment selection. In this study, we argue that the benefits of private information relayed through indirect ties are contingent on the evaluator’s quality uncertainty about the target. Specifically, we suggest that whether indirect ties enable superior investment selection depends on i) the evaluator’s experience and ability to assess potential targets; ii) the evaluator’s ease of due diligence; and iii) the target’s track record of past performance, which affects the evaluator’s ability to assess its future return prospects. We find that these factors affect whether indirect ties enable superior investment selection in a longitudinal study of institutional investors evaluating private equity and venture capital funds.

Book Launch: Intervention before Interventionism by Patrick Quinton-Brown

School of Social Sciences The era of liberal interventionism is over. And the prevailing international discourse is once again about defending state borders and putting up walls. This broad re-assertion of sovereignty and non-intervention---often considered the normative foundation of the BRICS countries, of the Non-Aligned Movement, of Bandung, of the “Westphalian” South---raises a series of difficult questions, not least about the management of challenges shared by all. How are we to make sense of re-organisations of intervention and non-intervention in global order? Intervention before Interventionism is about the ways in which statespeople have re- ordered intervention and non-intervention since the middle of the twentieth century; it is concerned primarily with non-Western contestations of Western-dominated order; it illustrates institutional change in and through decolonization; and it provides a conceptual roadmap for understanding dilemmas of intervention and non-intervention today, particularly in relation to contestation as… Contact: socsc_seminar@smu.edu.sg.

Inflation, Cost of Living and other wicked problems: What has Policy got to do with it?

Sim Kee Boon Institute for Financial Economics Despite an extended period of heightened interest rate, and prospects of a global slowdown, inflation doesn’t seem to go away. Stronger than expected jobs report and higher than expected March 2024 inflation in the US reduced the possibility of June 2024 rate cuts, thus dragging the market down. However, such expectations are not inconsequential to global growth or personal wealth. “Higher for longer” US interest rate in conjunction with resurgent commodity prices might be detrimental to financial sustainability of lower income economies. Individual consumers and investors are also facing the brunt of the inflation and cost of living pressure with strategic pricing decisions made by corporate actions. In this session, we will explore some findings from the latest round of SInDEx Inflation Expectations Survey (51st edition), some insights from analytics and a panel sharing on possible challenges and ways of dealing with cost of living increases and personal financial decisions.

Operations Management Research Seminar

Area Administration The Locker Alliance Network (LAN), a cutting-edge initiative under Singapore's Smart Nation vision, aims to revolutionize parcel pickup processes. This government-led project seeks to implement two major changes in Singapore's urban logistics: (i) establishing an open-access facility for all Logistic Service Providers (LSPs), and (ii) enhancing the last mile delivery efficiency of each LSP, thereby reducing their operational footprint. This research investigates the impact of locker network design on the delivery efficiency of individual LSPs and explores strategies for the government to construct an inclusive network for all LSPs. Our study explores two operational modes: the two-trip mode, where home and locker deliveries are managed separately; and the mixed-trip mode, which consolidates both into one route. It reveals that optimal locker network design tends to expand in a nested manner relative to the market share of the LSP. This finding suggests that governments could design locker networks based on t… Subtitle: Does Locker Alliance Network Improve Last Mile Delivery Efficiency?

Finance Research Seminar

Area Administration We propose a model in which arbitrageurs act strategically in markets with entry costs. In a repeated game, arbitrageurs choose to specialize in some markets, which leads to the highest combined profits. We present evidence consistent with our theory from the options market, in which suboptimally unexercised options create arbitrage opportunities for intermediaries. Using transaction-level data, we identify the corresponding arbitrage trades. Consistent with the model, only 57% of these opportunities attract entry by arbitrageurs. Of those that do, 50% attract only one arbitrageur. Finally, our paper details how market participants circumvent a regulation devised to curtail this arbitrage strategy.

Evidence Standards Improve Reliability in Scholarly Peer Review

School of Computing and Information Systems Background. Scholarly peer review is “the lynchpin about which the whole business of science is pivoted” (Ziman 1968). Most researchers believe peer review is effective (Ware 2008), but empirical research consistently shows that reviewers cannot reliable distinguish methodologically sound from fundamentally flawed studies (Cole 1981; Peters & Ceci 1982; Lock 1991; Rothwell and Martyn 2000; Price 2014; Ralph 2016). Consequently, we created comprehensive evidence standards and tools to improve peer review in software engineering and related fields. Objective. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of evidence standards on scholarly peer review. Method. A randomized controlled experiment was conducted at an A-ranked software engineering conference. The program committee was randomly divided into two groups: one using a typical conference review process; the other using a standardized process based on the ACM SIGSOFT Empirical Standards for Software Engineering Research (https://acmsigsoft.githu… Subtitle: Research Seminar by Dr. D.

Operations Management Research Seminar

Area Administration Can a simple, non-mandatory, and cost-effective intervention enhance the safety of prescriptions by reducing errors, when mandatory systems often fail due to high override rates by doctors? Employing a theoretical framework grounded on behavioral principles, we further analyze whether such intervention leads to doctors’ learning and results in heterogeneous treatment effects. The core concern addressed is the high incidence of Drug-to-Drug Interactions (DDIs) in prescriptions, which can lead to significant patient harm. Applying behavioral economics, particularly the nudge theory, our approach provides doctors with relevant information without mandating their prescribing decisions. We use a difference-in-differences model to analyze data from a randomized field experiment in partnership with a leading health-tech platform in India, encompassing 2.81 million prescriptions from 1,698 doctors. Doctors were randomly assigned to either a treatment group, receiving real-time nudges about potential errors without re… Subtitle: To Err is Human: A Field Experiment in Nudging Doctors to Safety.

Lee Kong Chian Professorship Public Lecture

Area Administration Amazon and Walmart, with more than a trillion dollars in annual revenues combined, are the two largest companies in the world. They have not only redefined the retail industry—Walmart in the 1980s/1990s and Amazon since 2000—but have also been the benchmark for business best practices (e.g. the use of IT, supply chain, data analytics and customer orientation). In the coming years, Amazon will probably dethrone Walmart as the world’s largest company, a position that Walmart has occupied for more than two decades. By examining these two companies and their business models in depth, based on his latest book, Professor Kumar elucidates on the more general phenomenon of incumbents competing with disruptors (e.g. Volkswagen vs Tesla, Marriott vs Airbnb) as well as the move to omnichannel retail where physical stores must coexist with online retailers. What is the future of retail will its two largest players will collide head-on or coexist in strategic complementarity?
