Do financial market developments matter for rank-and-file workers? We find that equity options or credit default swaps (CDS) trading on a firm improves employee welfare ratings. The results are robust to alternative welfare outcome measures including a firm’s selection into ``Best Companies to Work for'', workplace safety, pay inequality and pay level. We further find that derivatives trading decreases managerial short-termism by stimulating informed trades.

Motivated by our collaboration with one of the largest fast-fashion retailers in Europe, we study a (in-season) inventory management problem for fast fashion industry when the demand distribution is unknown. This system has a central warehouse that receives an initial replenishment and distributes its inventory to multiple stores in each time period during a finite horizon.

Speaker: Julius Schönherris an assistant professor at Peking University. He graduated from the University of Maryland in 2019 with a thesis on social coordination and the problem of other minds. His research, which has been published in journals such as Philosophical Studies, Synthese and the British Journal of the Philosophy of Science, spans a wide range of topics in social epistemology, the philosophy of mind and moral philosophy. His current focus is on issues concerning epistemic injustice.

We investigate the impact that uniform "one-size-fits-all" tax policies have on shaping the retail landscape. An entry model demonstrates that tax effects on retailer entry can amplify market concentration. Using data about retail establishments in the United States, we show that while they are more likely to open in markets with favorable state tax policies, these markets become more concentrated as entry is dominated by the largest chains.

Last year, researchers in the UK and China co-published over 19,000 research papers. Behind that extraordinary number is an extraordinary story, one of finding common purpose across cultures and domains. If the exchange of knowledge, thought and practice across divides has become an integral part of the academic life of the modern university, then how do universities equip our students with these ‘interface’ competencies?

A recommendation platform sequentially collects information on a new product revealed from past consumer trials and uses it to better guide later consumers. Because consumers do not internalize the value of information they bring to others, their incentive for trying out the product can be socially insufficient.

With the theme of Engineering Innovation Shaping the Future of Humanity, the symposium focuses on sustainable smart cities, cutting-edge technologies in artificial intelligence, etc.

To find unknown convex body $K$ such that $\mu=\mathcal{M}(K,\cdot)$, where $\mu$ is a pregiven Borel measure on the unit sphere $S^{n-1}$ and $\mathcal{M}(K,cdot)$ is a Borel measure on $S^{n-1}$ depending on $K$ is an important problem in convex geometry. Such a problem is called the Minkowski type problem and has found many applications in other areassuch aspartial differential equations computer science, etc.
