In this research, we develop an analytical model to investigate how the content of Online Word of Mouth (OWOM) impacts prices, product adoption, and profit when consumers have uncertainty about both the product quality and their own appreciation of quality. We consider how pricing is impacted by...

Motivated by online decision-making in time-varying combinatorial environments, we study the problem of transforming offline algorithms to their online counterparts. We focus on offline combinatorial problems that are amenable to a constant factor approximation using a greedy algorithm that is...

The pandemic experience has made it clear that not everyone loves teaching or learning remotely. Many professors and students alike are eager to return to the classroom. However, our experiences over the last year and a half have also demonstrated the potentials and possibilities of learning...

Demand for personalized online tutoring in higher education is growing but there is little research on its effectiveness. We conducted an RCT offering remote peer tutoring in micro- and macroeconomics at a German university teaching online due to the Covid-pandemic. Treated students met in small...

The study aims to understand the perspectives of higher education students regarding the sudden transition from a traditional class to online mode during COVID-19 in India. A survey was conducted among 260 undergraduates and graduate students from civil and chemical engineering branches; based...

In recent times, educational approaches like Game-Based Learning (GBL) and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) have captured the attention of many researchers. However, very little research has been done on the learning process. The main objective of this study is to investigate how...

Using data from Google Trends in Italy, we study the differences in online learning usage due to the COVID-19 pandemic by regional academic performance. With 2016 to 2020 data, we find that during the first lockdown, regions with a previously lower academic performance actively increased their...

Partnerships among different stakeholders in designing online programmes is one of the weakest domains in the field of online education. Attempts to define and describe the nature of stakeholder partnerships are fragmented across the literature. To address this gap, a systematic literature...

This paper studies the Random Utility Model (RUM) in a repeated stochastic choice situation, in which the decision maker is imperfectly informed about the payoffs associated to each of the available alternatives. By embedding the RUM into an online decision problem, we develop a gradient-based...

An emerging body of experimental psychology literature suggests that remote work is associated with virtual meeting fatigue and that the camera that is a salient feature of virtual meetings is a leading cause of this fatigue, with a more pronounced effect on women and employees with shorter...
