In this paper, a new class of weighted generalized beta distribution of the second kind (WGB2) is presented. The construction makes use of the conservability approach which includes the size or length-biased distribution as a special case. The class of WGB2 is used as descriptive models for the...

This paper applies the class of weighted generalized beta distribution of the second kind (WGB2) as descriptive models for size distribution of income. The properties of WGB2 including mean, variance, coefficient of variation(CV), coefficient of skewness(CS), coefficient of kurtosis(CK) are...

We propose a taxonomy of cybercrime on the Ethereum blockchain and examine how cybercrime impacts victims' risk-taking and returns. Our difference-in-differences analysis of a sample of victims and matched non-victims suggests that victims increase their long-term total risk-taking and earn...

We examine the launch of a mobile outpatient appointment app in China to study the effect of information provision and a streamlined appointment process on hospital operations and the alignment of healthcare supply and demand. Using a longitudinal dataset on hospital operations and a...

We examine how cybercrime impacts victims' risk-taking and returns. The results from our difference-in-differences analysis of a sample of victim and matched non-victim investors on the Ethereum blockchain are in line with prospect theory and suggests that victims increase their long-term total...
