The rapid growth in the adoption of mobile payments has already begun to reshape bank payment practices. Utilizing a unique data set from leading Asia that records credit card transactions its customers before and after launch Alipay payment, largest platform world, this study aims understand impact on customer activities change expansion. To do so, we employ difference-in-differences method coupled with matching estimate effects. We find not only increases at focal through both off-line...
On-demand delivery through sharing platforms represents a rapidly expanding segment of the global workforce. The emergence enables gig workers to choose when and where work, allowing them do so in flexible manner. However, such flexibility brings notorious challenges managing Thus, understanding incentive behavioral issues this new business model is inherently meaningful. This paper investigates how mechanisms platforms—earnings, ratings, penalties—affect working decisions their nuanced...
This paper deals with the vibration characteristics and nonlinear aeroelastic response of functionally graded (FG) multilayer composite plate reinforced graphene nanoplatelets (GPLs) subjected to in-plane excitations applied voltage. The different GPL nanofillers distribution patterns across thickness are discussed, in which effective Young’s modulus is determined by modified Halpin–Tsai model. Based on high-order shear deformation theory, motion equations FG system considering von Kármán...
Fueled by the widespread adoption of algorithms and artificial intelligence, use chatbots has become increasingly popular in various business contexts. In this paper, we study how to effectively appropriately voice chatbots, particularly leveraging two design features identity disclosure anthropomorphism, evaluate their impact on firm operational performance. collaboration with a large truck-sharing platform, conducted field experiment that randomly assigned 11,000 truck drivers receive...
Many educational institutions have partially or fully closed all operations to cope with the challenges of ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In this paper, we explore strategies that such can adopt conduct safe reopening and resume during The research is motivated by University Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's (UIUC's) SHIELD program, which a set policies strategies, including rapid saliva-based screening, for ensuring safety students, faculty staff in-person operations, least partially....
In this paper, we provide a survey of recent developments in the fintech (financial technology) industry, focusing on operational structures, technologies involved, and risks associated with new systems. particular, discuss payment systems, algorithmic trading, robo-advisory, crowdfunding, peer-to-peer lending. conclusion section, various promising research directions.
The flutter and thermal buckling behavior of laminated composite panels embedded with shape memory alloy (SMA) wires are studied in this research. classical plate theory nonlinear von-Karman strain-displacement relation employed to investigate the aeroelastic smart panel. thermodynamic behaviors SMA simulated based on one-dimensional Brinson model. aerodynamic pressure panel is described by piston theory. Nonlinear governing partial differential equations motion derived for via Hamilton...
Financial services firms are subject to various types of risks. In particular, operational risk is difficult assess and can be devastating, although it often perceived by a firm's management as being more controllable than the cost managing other Understanding problems associated with crucial performance firm. “Operational Risk Management: A Stochastic Control Framework Preventive Corrective Controls,” Xu, Zhu, Pinedo introduce general modeling framework for financial firms. They propose two...
On-demand delivery through gig platforms is ushering in a new era of business operations, workforce management, and customer experiences. This paper seeks to investigate how experience affects worker performance this setting, which has not yet been studied the prior learning literature. Utilizing data from one leading on-demand platform Asia, we find that, consistent with literature, improves operational outcome by reducing time. However, interestingly, at an earlier stage, when workers'...
The recognition of environmental patterns for traditional Chinese settlements (TCSs) is a crucial task rural planning. Traditionally, this primarily relies on manual operations, which are inefficient and time consuming. In paper, we study the use deep learning techniques to achieve automatic in TCSs based features learned from remote sensing images digital elevation models. Specifically, due lack available datasets, new TCS dataset was created featuring five representative patterns. We also...
The novelty of this study is to present a theoretical approach investigate the dynamic behaviors laminated panels under arbitrary elastic boundary conditions. motion equations considering first order piston theory are derived using Hamilton principle. A solution computing vibration characteristics panel with boundaries proposed based on Rayleigh–Ritz method, in which admissible functions constructed by set characteristic orthogonal polynomials employing Gram–Schmidt process; support modeled...
With rapid urbanization, contradictions between economic development and a lack of spiritual culture become increasingly complicated. Accessibility is useful spatial quantitative index to evaluate the cultural construction city. Amongst various accessibility methods, two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method suitable for evaluating urban land use (CULU) based on its advantage flexibility rationality. This study selects Xi'an as representative ancient Based comparing results different...
The rapid growth in the adoption of mobile payment has already begun to reshape bank practices. Relying on a unique data set from leading Asia, which records transactions its credit card consumers before and after launch Alipay (i.e., current largest platform world), this paper seeks understand impact expansion consumer transaction activities through both offline online channels. To do so, we employ difference-in-differences method coupled with matching estimate effects. We find that not...
