The paper proposes an integrated framework which uses knowledge representation theory and languages to annotate relevant product information in a semantically rich and unambiguous fashion so disclosing several added-value services in multiple supply chain stages, without depending on a back-end infrastructure. EPCglobal RFID protocol standard has been extended and further applied in an innovati...

Using data obtained during a retrospective interview study of 30 women who had undergone genetic testing-BRCA1/2 mutation searching-this paper describes how women, previously diagnosed with breast/ovarian cancer, perceive their role in generating genetic information about themselves and their families. It observes that when describing their motivations for undergoing DNA testing and their exper...

As individuals increasingly take advantage of on-line services, the value of the private information they possess emerges as a problem of fundamental concern. We believe that the principle underlying privacy should be simple: Individuals are entitled to control the dissemination of private information, disclosing it as part of a transaction only when they are fairly compensated. We show how thi...

This paper explores the implications for labor market outcomes of systematic testing of applicants in the hiring process. A matching model in which productivity is a worker’s private information is used. Both wages and hiring rates are endogenous. A minority is defined as a group for whom the test is less precise in identifying individual productivity. Welfare and employment outcomes across var...

Adolescents are the most fervent users of social network sites, hereby disclosing a lot of personal information. In this study, we used the Prototype Willingness Model to examine whether the sharing of personal information about peer relationships follows a rational and intended pathway, or a more impulsive unconscious decision-making pathway. Data from a sample of 1314 adolescents (M = 16.68, ...

Illness affects millions of Americans each year, and the disclosure of health conditions can facilitate access to social support, in addition to other physical and physiological benefits. This article tests the Disclosure Decision-Making Model (DD-MM; Greene, 2009 ) to predict factors that influence the likelihood of disclosing (and past disclosure of) nonvisible physical or mental health-rela...

This paper introduces private sender information in a sender-receiver game of Bayesian persuasion with monotonic sender preferences. I derive properties of increasing di¤erences related to the precision of signals and use these to fully characterize the set of equilibria selected by the D1 criterion. The sender’s equilibrium strategy consists of signals which are either separating, i.e., the se...
