RESEARCH PROJECTS
Mandated vs Autonomous AI Use: An Empirical Examination on Worker's Labor Outcomes and Social Welfare
Amid AI reshaping employee interactions, our project examines mandated vs. autonomous AI impacts on worker empowerment, labor outcomes, and firm/societal welfare. Focused on food delivery platforms, using randomized field experiment data, we aim to compare worker performance, assess efficacy for diverse groups, measure effects on platforms and society, and propose ethical AI design principles.
The Effect of Health IT on Behavior Change and Its Business Value
Mobile apps for physical activity fade post-removal, proving ineffective for at-risk groups. This project targets global sedentary lifestyles with personalized strategies, using mobile tech and self-tracking for enduring health interventions. It aims to grasp the impact of targeted mobile interventions, particularly for extended behavior change in at-risk populations.
