Information sharing becomes increasingly important in recent years as online platforms gather massive consumer information that is typically invisible by upstream manufacturers and competing sellers/retailers. We study an online platform’s demand information sharing strategy in a distribution...

This paper studies the impact of the order of senders in the sequential Bayesian persuasion game on the receiver's equilibrium utility. We find that it is always optimal for the receiver to put the more aligned sender before the less aligned sender. Comparative statics analysis shows that when...

In this work, lightweight and robust Ti 3 C 2 T x /CNTs foams were fabricated by a HCl induced self-assembly as well as vacuum freeze-drying process. In contrast to monolithic Ti 3 C 2 T x foams, the incorporation of CNTs effectively improves the electrical conductivity (EC) and mechanical...

Although multinationals operate under cross-border jurisdictions, the relevance of interstate security relations to international business has received little attention. Despite the impressive accumulation of knowledge in international business and international relations, the two intellectual...
