Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is comprised of three essays in the economics of information. In the first one we analyze the prac-tice of price discrimination from the prism of consumer-data driven market segmentation. We are particularly interested in the consumer-optimal segmentations, and in particular those that benefit poorer consumers the most. We show that once such distributive preferences are considered, optimal segmentations might not co-incide with consumer-optimal segmentations without distributive preferences. In particular, such "redistributive" segmentations might induce some extra profits to the firm. We also provide insights on the general shape of such redistributive segmentations. In the second chapter we study a persuasion problem in which the receiver is a "wishful thinker", meaning that he distorts his beliefs in the direct of more optimistic scenarios. We show how such bias impacts the effec-tiveness of information provision as a tool for inducing certain types of behavior, and illustrate our argument with three applications: information campaigns designed by health agencies, financial reports designed by a financial broker and political information in the context of elections.In the third chapter we study a persuasion problem in which the audience is composed of receivers who per-ceive the information being transmitted with varying degrees of refinement. We characterize the joint distribu-tion of beliefs that a sender can induce in the electorate in such a setting and show that the value that the sender can obtain through persuasion can be retrieved by process of recursive concavification of its indirect utility.

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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2012 Reprint of 1957 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Tjalling Charles Koopmans (1910 - 1985) was the joint winner, with Leonid Kantorovich, of the 1975 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. In 1944 Koopmans joined the Cowles Commission for Research in Economics at the University of Chicago, where he extended his technique to a wide variety of economic problems. When the commission was relocated to Yale University in 1955, Koopmans moved with it, becoming professor of economics at Yale. He wrote a widely read book on the methodology of economic analysis, "Three Essays on the State of Economic Science" in 1957. Essays are: Allocation of Resources and the Price System The Construction of Economic Knowledge The Interaction of Tools and Problems in Economics

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: The aim of the thesis is to delve into some of the determinants of the supply side of the information market, and consider the possible implications that those determinants can have on societies and political systems. The three chapters are independent from each other and can be read separately. They are three studies on three questions in media economics and aim at contributing to the debate on how information is produced and with with consequences.As the main methodology, I use tools from applied microeconomics to quantitatively isolate relationships between one determinant of the production function of information and discourse, or content, as my outcome of interest. I also borrow to the political science literature and studies in communication to better discuss the pattern emphasized through data analysis.In the first chapter, I consider parameters that affect media capture, and how the perceptions of the likelihood to find a story to disclose and the characteristics of the market influence the different forms of pressures over media outlets over the world. In the second chapter, I look into the influence of money on political discourse and investigates how receiving donations from firms can affect candidates discourse, in an analysis of political manifestos issued by candidates to the French legislative election. In the third chapter, I study the impact of technological change on media content and political behavior. More precisely, I look at the effect of the introduction of digital TV in Kenya on news content and on political preferences during the presidential election of 2017. Hence, the three chapters of this dissertation illustrate the complexity of the media landscape and of the determinants of the political discourse. Building on the existing results from the literature and using a large range of methods, I try to contribute to the general debate on the challenges pertaining to today's world of information and entertainment, in its multifaceted aspects.
