- 요약The first chapter studies how product rankings affect product attributes. Product rankings are designed to aid customer choice for experience goods based on outcomes and characteristics reflective of vertical quality. This chapter demonstrates that product rankings affect not only customer behavior, but also subsequent product development by influencing talent acquisition. We focus on the higher education sector, where college rankings significantly influence undergraduate applications, research production, and researcher talent acquisition. Using U.S. News college rankings data and research output data from OpenAlex, we find that a 1 position improvement in college rankings lead to a 3 to 4% increase in the number of junior scholars writing papers. This increase in research production is not driven by changes in funding or existing researcher productivity but by junior researchers' reliance on rankings in their affiliation decision-making. Our results suggest that product rankings impact the characteristics of future research output, affecting subsequent citations and potentially creating a feedback loop that influences subsequent rankings. These findings highlight the broader implications of product rankings for both marketing and organizational strategy, emphasizing their role in shaping both customer and talent perceptions, which ultimately affect long-term innovation and demand. The second chapter, also in the higher education context, studies how changes in the customer body might affect the product. This chapter explores the interplay between consumer profile shifts and product offerings, emphasizing the pivotal role of available labor in shaping these offerings. We do so in the particularly high-stakes context of higher education. As colleges endeavor to diversify their student bodies, a significant factor influencing their ability to adapt their educational product is the diversity and skill set of their faculty. Existing literature underscores the positive impact on student learning outcomes when teachers share the same demographic identity as their students, a factor especially crucial for underrepresented minority groups. Our research focuses on the extent to which faculty employment patterns are responsive to changes in student demographics. We find that for every 1% increase in Black student enrollment share, there is a corresponding 0.2 to 0.3% increase in Black contingent faculty share. This positive yet non-proportional relationship highlights a potential mismatch between student diversity and the availability of identity-congruent teachers. This mismatch suggests that colleges may face challenges in fully aligning their educational offerings with potential increases to the diversity of their student body, which could have implications for student learning experiences and outcomes. The last chapter is joint work with Sridhar Narayanan and Giorgos Zervas on how the textual content of review responses affects reviewer behavior. Online review platforms such as Yelp and TripAdvisor have seen remarkable usage growth in recent years. Consumers rely on these platforms for information about businesses in diverse sectors such as hospitality, retail, and services. Many of these platforms allow businesses to respond to consumer reviews, and these responses are typically visible to subsequent visitors to the platform. Recent literature in marketing has studied the impact of businesses responding to consumer reviews on subsequent consumer evaluations. In this paper, we explore the effect of the content of managerial responses to hotel reviews on evaluations by subsequent visitors to the review platform. Our identification strategy exploits the quasi-random allocation of responses to respondents. We find that tailored, more detailed responses lead to reviews with higher ratings. Furthermore, these responses systematically shift the textual content of new reviews.
