Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first chapter is to investigate the impact of a free on-line repository of research articles on the diffusion of their ideas measured by the citation counts. The key questions that this chapter answers are as following: 1) does a free on-line repository of research articles increase the diffusion of their scholarly ideas measured by their citations?; 2) who benefits from the free access? By using a dataset from the Social Science Research Network (SSRN), an open repository of research articles, and employing a natural experiment that allows the effect of free access separate from other confounding factors, this study identifies the causal effect of free access on the citation counts as well as shows a heterogeneous effect of free access on both supply and demand side. The second chapter is to study the correlation between CEO pay and information technology. The hypothesis is that IT increases "effective size" of the firm that a top manager controls and thus her marginal productivity. In turn, in an efficient market, the firms with a higher degree of information technology will reward their CEOs with a higher compensation. The third chapter is to examine whether firms that emphasize decision making based on data and business analytics ("data driven decision making" or DDD) show higher performance. Using detailed survey data on the business practices and information technology investments of 179 large publicly traded firms, this study finds that firms that adopt DDD have output and productivity that is 5-6% higher than what would be expected given their other investments and information technology usage. Furthermore, the relationship between DDD and performance also appears in other performance measures such as asset utilization, return on equity and market value. Using instrumental variables methods, this study finds evidence that the effect of DDD on the productivity do not appear to be due to reverse causality. These results provide some of the first large scale data on the direct connection between data-driven decision making and firm performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is motivated by a goal to explain frequently observed phenomena in IT outsourcing that are, on face of it, counter-intuitive. In a set of three related essays, we examine why clients transfer critical assets to vendors, even when such asset transfer increases the risk of being "held-up" by a vendor. Moreover, there is considerable heterogeneity in which parties own the assets. We develop an explanation that helps us understand the motivations for asset ownership. Finally, we examine why vendors develop monitoring mechanisms that they share with their clients reducing the likelihood of appropriating rents. In a two period model of asset transfer, we show that asset transfer and contract extension work together to enable clients to incentivize vendors make significant initial investments. Owning the IT assets ensures a vendor about a long-term relationship while significant initial investments enable the vendor to win the contract extension. Then in an economic model that examines whether a vendor or client should own the assets, we show that scenarios exist both where the client and vendor agree on the ownership structure and where they disagree. When investment in innovation enables new services and features, the client should retain ownership of the assets. When investment leads to cost savings, the vendor should own the assets. The parties disagree on asset ownership structure when the investment opportunities yield similar levels of benefits to both vendor and client. In this case neither party wants to own the assets. A firm may also invest to increase the level of verifiability of future investments and thus increase the opportunity to extract more rents from the other party. Finally in a monitoring-signaling model, we show that by committing to costly performance monitoring and convening verifiable signals on his private information to the client, a high capability vendor is able to separate his expected payoff from that of the free-riding low capability vendor. The dynamics of truth-revealing signaling with performance monitoring involves that the client credibly commits to a long-term relationship with the appropriate vendor with incentive contracts contingent on the verifiable signals from performance monitoring.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the rapid development of computing devices and the improved Internet access, our daily lives and business world have been dramatically reshaped. While technology allows companies to attain unprecedented efficiency gains, it also brings about fundamental changes to the competition environment. The goal of this dissertation is to improve our understanding of three major technological developments through the lens of applied economics, econometrics, and machine learning. The first chapter is on the mobile application (app) market. The mobile app market is a fast growing platform which offers consumers millions of applications for smartphones and tablets, but the astronomical number of apps creates a search and discovery problem. I propose an optimal matching for a new advertising strategy, “Cross Promotion (CP),” which allows app developers to locate valuable users while helps app users discover new apps. Distinct from the extant platform literature, which consists mostly of theoretical formulations of platforms, I develop a two-stage model using data from a random matching experiment to examine how users preferences are influenced by apps characteristics. I propose a matching scheme which significantly improves the effectiveness of the CP using the deferred acceptance algorithm. The second chapter is on the issue of cybersecurity. I propose a potential information disclosure policy to alleviate cybersecurity threats. With a large-scale randomized field experiment consisting of 7,919 organizations in the U.S., I show through a random forest-assisted heterogeneous treatment effect analysis that the combination of information notification and publicity significantly reduces large spammers outbound spam volume, which is an indicator of an organizations underlying security condition. The last chapter investigates social media platforms, which is on companies social media strategies under challenging situations. Through a theoretical model, the use of support vector machine, and an empirical analysis using a large Twitter data set, I show the existence of both a negative spillover and a customer encroachment effect after the airline industrys major product-harm crises. In addition, I show that non-focal companies appear to harness two distinct functions of social media–offensive and defensive marketing strategies–to alleviate the negative influence and exploit the unexpected benefit as a result of such incidents
