Online platforms often face challenges being both fair (i.e., non-discriminatory) and efficient (i.e., maximizing revenue). Using computer vision algorithms and observational data from a microlending marketplace, we find that choices made by borrowers creating online profiles impact both of...

This study examines the institutional investors' trading strategies to exploit the post-earnings announcement drift (PEAD) around earnings announcements in China. China's fund management industry is developing rapidly. Our findings suggest the possibility that institutional investors trade on...

Randomized control trials, or “A/B tests”, have been crucial to understanding the impact of an intervention. Traditional causal inference methods rely on a critical assumption called the “stable unit treatment value assumption” (SUTVA) (Fisher, 1937; Splawa-Neyman et al., 1990), which means...

Urea is one of the leading products produced by protein degradation in human body. The levels of urea could be used as an important indicator of health status and renal disease. Thus, portable, rapid, and convenient point-of-care testing systems are highly in demand. Herein,...

Soil salinization can affect the ecological environment of soil and alter greenhouse gas emissions. Chitooligosaccharides and AMF reduced the greenhouse gas fluxes of salinized soil, and this reduction was attributed to an alteration in the rhizosphere microecology, including changes in the...
