The current paper argues that commercial banks have used the main developments in information and communication technologies of the last thirty years to specialize in both the creation and transmission of information. The ability to create financial information provides banks with an important...

Supply chain management (SCM) and total quality management (TQM) represent two parallel approaches to improving organizational performance. Previous studies have analyzed the SCM features impacting organizational performance independently of the design of TQM practices. Similarly, the recent...

We define a novel information acquisition model that accounts explicitly for the influence of positive and negative anticipated emotions in the evaluation and selection incentives of decision makers (DMs). The model focuses on the value assigned by the DMs to the information being acquired and...

Consider the problem faced by a decision maker (DM) who must select the order in which to evaluate the unknown alternatives displayed by an online search engine. DMs do not know the distribution of the realizations that result from clicking on an alternative and must therefore account for the...

We present an equilibrium model where the demand side of the market determines the strategic incentives of firms when considering the introduction of technologically superior products (TSPs) and the subsequent dynamic evolution of the market configuration. Market demand is built on conventional...

We analyze the effects of digitalization and the knowledge acquired through vertical and institutional cooperation across the value chain on the introduction of patents and technological, namely, product and process, innovations in large, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). We study...

The current paper defines the optimal sequential information gathering structure of a rational utility maximizer decision maker in the simplest non-trivial theoretical scenario, where the decision maker is allowed to acquire only two pieces of information from a set of multidimensional goods. We...

This paper studies an economy where agents trade using a shared language, so that they do not need to meet in person with goods physically present. Agents provide vague descriptions of proposed net trades, which we interpret as arising either from inherent limitations in what the agents can...

The current paper defines the optimal sequential information gathering structure of rational utility maximizer decision makers and illustrates numerically how their incentives to gather information among different goods decrease in their degree of risk aversion

The current paper is aimed at bridging the existing gap between the empirical consumer choice literature and the theoretical structures built to account for information manipulation between a sender and a decision maker. We define a theoretical structure that allows for the analysis of...
