Matching a set of agents to a set of objects has many real applications. One well-studied framework is that of prioritybased matching, in which each object is assumed to have a priority order over the agents. The Deferred Acceptance (DA) and Top-Trading-Cycle (TTC) mechanisms are the best-known strategy-proof mechanisms. However, in highly anonymous environments, the set of agents is not known ...

• Human drivers’ gap acceptance behavior was studied in a driving simulator. Traffic included human driven vehicles and automated (AVs) Recognizable aggressive AVs resulted larger accepted critical gaps. Non-recognizable smaller Results suggest that AVs' appearance styles affect behavior. Future traffic will be composed of both human-driven (HDVs) (AVs). To accurately predict the performance mi...

Extensive researches in other disciplines have documented emotions as a substantial aspect of human thoughts and behaviors. In our field, two types of emotions have been analyzed as antecedents of IT use: system specific emotions and general IT emotions. No study in our field focuses on system-unrelated emotions. In addition, most studies focused on the impact of emotions on the continued use o...

This paper presents a multiple case research concerning success factors and issues of mobile field service implementations. Based on Eisenhardt’s explorative research design, five successful mobile technology implementations are compared and analysed. Important aspects of the implementation strategy and the used technology are examined and discussed. The results indicate that the success of mob...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to: empirically validate a modified unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model by adding an “e-learning motivation” construct in the South American context; try to determine the role of e-learning motivation in the use and adoption of e-learning systems and conversely the effect of technology on students’ e-learning motivation; and to...

This paper explores matching with both search and information frictions. Specifically, everyone observes only a noisy signal of the true type of any potential mate. In this context, matching decisions must incorporate not only information about a partner’s attribute conveyed by the noisy signal, but also—as in the winner’s curse in auction theory—information about a partner’s type contained in ...

The benefits of e-tax services are linked to its adoption and usage. E-tax adoption rates in developing countries remain low and so its benefits are not fully realized. This is because governments have focused largely on technical supply-side factors with little emphasis on the demand perspective of e-tax adoption. The result has been a gap between what is offered and what is consumed. This pap...

The social norms approach predicts that campaign messages providing true normative information about widely misperceived health behaviors will reduce the gap between distorted perceptions versus actual practices and consequently reduce behaviors based on exaggerated norms. Formative evaluation of messages designed to effectively convey true norms informed by social judgment theory (SJT) should ...

BACKGROUND Developing age-appropriate medications remains a challenge in particular for the population of infants and toddlers, as they are not able to reliably self-report if they would accept and consequently take an oral medicine. Therefore, it is common to use caregivers as proxies when assessing medicine acceptance. The outcome measures used in this research field differ and most important...
