Financial research is often criticised about being too esoteric, overly technical and lacking wider influence. Changes in funding criteria, university ranking processes and teaching practices has meant that researchers are required to focus more on the impact of their research within and beyond academia. This presentation discusses how impact is defined within the Research Excellence Framework (REF), the system for assessing the quality of research in UK higher education institutions. It then considers how this thinking has motivated three interdisciplinary financial research agendas with a strong impact focus. The first explores issues around the cost of capital in utilities and a project aiming at developing a financial observatory for regulated firms in the UK and internationally. The second looks at how ideas from financial markets and econometrics can be applied to understand the empirical behaviour of online review marketing data. The final agenda relates to an action research project of designing evidence-based policies for the development of a cluster of financial services firms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

This study examines the fracture in the world economy and three of its consequences – the reshaping of international competition, rising VUCA and the impact on innovation. It examines the theoretical challenges at all levels of international business research from the global system to individual tasks, using a uniform set of principles based on internalization theory. It concludes by examining the impact of COVID-19.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

COVID-19 has affected every part of our lives, both professional and personal. The higher education sector is not immune from these changes, which include restrictions on international travel, social distancing around campuses, significantly more online delivery, less opportunity for international student recruitment and challenges in carrying out research.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
This talk focuses on the research challenges, and opportunities, in a post-COVID world. Practical suggestions that we can take to carry producing high quality journal articles will be presented.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Amongst the challenges that will be addressed are reduced access to research funding, not able to attend physical conferences and social distancing reducing traditional contact that are so important in research.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
The opportunities that will be outlined include effective time management, how to collaborate remotely, moving to new research areas, carrying out research on a budget and generating research ideas.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>

It is hoped that, despite the challenges that COVID has presented, and will continue to do so, we can see opportunities that will enable us to continue carrying out high quality research that has real impact.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

It has long been established that firms' ability to profit from their technologies depends on the strength of IP laws. This study shows that profiting from technology is also determined by how effectively firms engage in patent infringement litigation (i.e. take legal action against their rivals) to create isolating mechanisms and protect their technologies. The study also shows that patent infringement litigation is characterized by industry and geographic specificity that affect (disproportionately) revenue-generation and costs and, therefore, its net effect on firm profitability. By identifying contingencies that influence the economic returns from patent litigation, the study helps us understand why innovative firms experience different profitability outcomes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Firms that conduct R&D in multiple countries face the daunting challenge of dealing with cross-country variations in intellectual property rights (IPR) protection. We examine how two technology-protection mechanisms, namely, geographic fragmentation of R&D (cross-country fragmentation of R&D) and IPR heterogeneity (conducting R&D in both strong and weak IPR protection countries), enable firms to protect their technologies from imitation, while also accessing external knowledge, and therefore improve their productivity performance. Evidence from a longitudinal analysis of 564 R&D units located in 47 countries provides support for the effectiveness of IPR heterogeneity as a technology protection mechanism, but shows that geographic fragmentation of R&D is not effective when IPR heterogeneity is controlled for. Our analysis also suggests that weaker IPR protection enhances the effects of both external knowledge and the firm's own R&D on its performance. Overall, our study enhances understanding of conducting R&D in multiple countries explains why some firms benefit from conducting R&D in weak IPR protection countries while other firms do not, identifies which mechanisms are effective in protecting technology, and challenges the prevalent view that weak IPR protection is disadvantageous for firm performance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Our study aims to contribute to the debate on the quality of open access publishing by comparing research in different journals and by examining its impact on quality research. With a systematic literature review, we analyse 25 years of Green Human Resource Management (Green HRM) research (1995-2019). We chose Green HRM as an appropriate case, because although it is a rapidly growing area of research, the number of journal publications is limited and thus the whole literature in the field over a 25-year period could be covered. By looking closer at the journals where Green HRM research is published, we present characteristics of two broad categories of research qualities. Counter to our expectations, we do not only show that papers published in quality journals have an impact on papers published in questionable (so-called “predatory”) outlets, but also the other way around. Through citations, questionable research contributes to the success of quality publications. Moreover, we even observe that articles published in quality journals legitimize articles from predatory journals by using this questionable literature as references. Although our empirical sample mainly consists of one specific area of research, we suggest that our findings can be generalised to other areas of management research. Therefore, we close our study by giving practical implications to different stakeholders and a general plea for more awareness and responsibility.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Research in international business continues to evolve in the current environment of mega disruptions and much uncertainty. For international business scholars, the changing environment of cross-border business implies new and novel approaches to investigating international business phenomena. Among other things, our research needs to reflect new realities including: risk management, trade conflicts, global coordination of international activities, and performance benchmarking.

For the past several decades, research on EMs has revitalized scholarly activity and boosted consulting firm, client-focused research as well. Literature in this area has multiplied, and new publication outlets have been added. This tradition of research:<\/div>
  • Promoted comparative research \u2013 e.g., comparisons of consumer spending, and e-Commerce platforms (e.g., Amazon vs. Alibaba, Shopee, Flipkart, Jumia, Ozon, MercadoLibre);<\/li>
  • Boosted cross-cultural research; and<\/li>
  • Led to the development of new theoretical frameworks & constructs in IB research.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>
    Going forward, what are some promising research topics? What are the neglected areas of research in the context of emerging markets? What are some practical approaches to conducting impactful research? What data sources may be tapped? What are best-practice strategies for crafting manuscripts and enhancing publication opportunities?\u00a0

    This session will address the above questions and respond to any questions participants may have about research on emerging markets.\u00a0<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    The tourism sector contributes significantly to the GDP of many countries. This sector is responsible for millions of service sector\u00a0jobs as well as an inflow of foreign exchange. COVID-19 has affected the tourism industry the worst as it is the first industry to be closed and perhaps the last to be re-opened. Upon re-opening however, there will be an intense competition among countries to attract foreign tourists. One well-known policy\u00a0to attract international tourists is the hosting of sporting events.\u00a0Hosting mega sports events like the Olympics and FIFA World Cup are said to leave a legacy that could impact the attractiveness of a country\/city in the long term. However, the opportunity to host and failure to seize the opportunity to host these mega-events can both be expensive. The Tokyo Olympics was supposed to reinvigorate Japan's economy but now the postponement may cost Japan (est. US$18 billion) more than the spending ($US12.6 billion) on organizing the mega-event. In this paper, we consider the economic impact of hosting annual international sporting events, specifically the extent to which Formula-1 Grand Prix, ATP Tennis and PGA Golf. These leagues have already resumed play in the less affected locations to make up the revenue that’s been lost during the pandemic. Using monthly data from 1998 to 2019 and the Seemingly Unrelated Regression Estimates (SURE) we show that the effect differs from one sport to another within a country, and the same sport across countries. We conclude that there is no \u201cone-size-fits-all\u201d strategy when it comes to hosting these annual international sporting events. Policy-makers must consider carefully the sport that offers the best chance for driving recovery and supporting travel and tourism sector.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Real estate is a critical component of the economy. As a major part of household consumption and wealth, the maintenance of the equilibrium influences significantly the health of the economic environment. Using the data of Global Property Guide, this research develops an extensive study on the impact of real estate markets on stock markets over 16 countries for more than 300 Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). The study starts from country-level to continent-level whilst exposes the movement between the real estate and stock markets. The findings show the significant different movement across continents. This is the valuable information for the governments to review the real estate market and overall economy policy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Well-being is made as a global concept which is generally significant to everyone. Nevertheless, this study challenges the presumed universality of well-being. Given the assumption that underlies the notion is individualism, well-being is conceivably less applicable to a Chinese who regards family as part of self. Although a Chinese expression, xing fu\u5e78\u798f is often considered as an equivalent to well-being (Davis, 2005; Lu, 2001; 2010), the two concepts are culturally distinctive (Ng, 2017). This study aims to explore the relevancy of well-being and xing fu in a Chinese context. A research question is formulated: How do members of family businesses in Hong Kong draw upon the discourses of well-being and xing fu in their daily lives? To answer this question, an anthropological examination is carried out. The findings indicate that rather than spontaneously expressing well-being, the research subject showed a more salient concern on xing fu. In the discussion, xing fu is further contextualized and its differences with well-being are examined. In general, the study contributes to knowledge by bringing in an indigenous perspective into the discursive space.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    An accurate forecast for corporate default risk is crucial for financial institutions to effectively quantify potential expected and unexpected borrower losses. This study develops a logistic regression model to simultaneously examine the roles of firm-specific fundamentals and economic outlook in predicting corporate default risk. The model is estimated using U.S. listed non-financial firms over the 1997\u23bc2009 period. The empirical findings suggest that economic outlook captured by recession probability forecast, firm-specific fundamental factors measured by the Z-score and F-score, and the interaction between economic outlook and firm-specific fundamental factors play statistically significant roles in predicting bankruptcy risk. The model exhibits relatively high levels of goodness-of-fit and classification ability, and low levels of forecast error.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    The governments and pro-environmental groups have been calling the public for taking actions to combat climate change. Many consumers, however, do not seem to 'walk their talk'. It is widely reported that the adoption of greener consumption patterns lags behind the growth of pro-environmental concerns among consumers. While the governments and the businesses have been promoting the success in various pro-environmental campaigns on media, do young people increasingly assign environmental responsibilities to governments and businesses rather than to themselves? Would the triumphs over the climate change lead to a lower sense of anxiety and\/or responsibilities and thus weaker their pro-environmental intention? Or would the success stories fuel their self-efficacies in combating climate change and also their intention to act more pro-environmentally? While a growing research body has indicated the positive impact of self-efficacy on people's pro-environmental intention, research on how self-efficacy, the governments' efficacy and businesses' efficacy interact in shaping pro-environmental intention among young people has been virtually missing. Attempting to gain some insights for theorising, 9 focus groups were conducted to investigate young people's sense of responsibilities for the climate change, and their perceived responsibilities as well as the efficacies of the government and the business sector. Our analyses based on 34 participating university students indicate that the effects of governments' and businesses' efficacies on young people's pro-environmental intention are fundamentally complementary instead of compensatory. We also suggest that the relationship is mediated by self-efficacy. It is also worth noting that a strong sense of distrust of the businesses' interest in slowing down environmental degradation and disappointment with the strength of the governmental efforts in promoting environmental and social sustainability. The study ends with implications for theory, practice and future research directions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    This study constructs a transcendental logarithmic cost function for describing the production technology of banks. Rather than adopting traditional approaches, this study develops a new approach to specify the essential outputs and inputs of banks. It has been found that banks had to tolerate higher operating costs in the first few years after the removal of regulations. In response, banks sought for new revenue by expanding fee-based financial services rather than reduced operating costs by adjusting their input combinations or output combinations. The deregulation also forced banks to pursue active technical progress, and larger banks performed better than smaller banks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    This study investigates why the governments of different countries responded faster (slower) to the COVID-19 threat. We draw upon the literature on institutional norms and legitimacy to theorize that governments' decision-making is undertaken in the light of prevailing beliefs, norms, and rules of the collectivity, as portrayed by Corporate Governance Institutions (CGIs), in their effort to maintain legitimacy. Therefore, the more shareholder-oriented the CGIs, the slower the governmental response in shutting down the economy to protect from COVID-19. In addition, we posit that the government’s political ideology influences the assessment of legitimacy risks involved in decision-making, and therefore, the main relationship is stronger the more right-leaning the government’s ideology. We tested and found support for the hypotheses by running negative binomial regressions on a sample of 125 countries. This study theoretically enriches research on corporate governance institutions, and informs managers about how governments take decisions when trade-offs between public and business interests are involved.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Fintech is a short word for financial technology. Fintech companies use specific software in computers and smartphones to help business or consumers to manage their operations and lives more efficiently and effectively. Fintech companies consist of both startups and established financial institutions and technology companies trying to replace the financial services provided by current financial counterparts.

    In this study, we investigate the performance of China fintech companies which were listed in Hong Kong Stock Exchange, New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ from 2015 to 2019. The main research question is “Are China-based fintech companies overpriced at IPO?”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Writing assessment is an essential part in both school-based examinations and high-stakes assessments. Fairness of assessments may impact on the academic development of students in various levels. The study aims to investigate the analysis of the Many-facets Rasch Measurement (MFRM) to adjust for prompt difficulty and rater severity and whole-instrument replication to perform an appropriate assessment of the precision of the writing assessment. The MFRM is an extension of the Rasch measurement which has been used to examine and enhance test fairness over the past decades. The practical benefits of utilizing the Rasch model have been found in the field of language assessment. The results revealed that some discrepancies were found among raters who scored student essays in this study. Then a procedure was adopted to give more choices for the moderation of scoring in writing assessment and enrich the quality of learning and teaching strategies.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    There are a lot of different taxonomies that attached to classify moral\u00a0thoughts and positions that can explain the individual differences in ethic\u00a0perceptions in different situations. Ethical position theory use two\u00a0dimensions: idealism (concern with the outcomes for all involved parties) and\u00a0relativism (question the existence of universal moral principles that can fit all\u00a0situation) to explain personal moral philosophy (Forsyth, 1980; Forsyth et al.,\u00a02008).<\/div>

    Hong Kong has a unique historical background, having been a British colony\u00a0for more than 150 years but now a part of China. Hong Kong is familiar with\u00a0both Eastern philosophies (e.g., Confucianism and Taoism) and Western\u00a0philosophies (e.g., Utilitarianism and Deontology). Therefore, even Hong\u00a0Kong share the same cultural root with mainland China, the perception of\u00a0ethicality of a variety of employee behaviors can be very different. This\u00a0research will contribute to the existing literature by providing a holistic view\u00a0of the influence of idealism and relativism on the perception of ethicality.\u00a0Understanding the factors that influence ethical perception will allow firms to\u00a0gain greater insights into which business practices are acceptable and which\u00a0are not in different cultures.

    In many resource-abundant societies, the consumption-led lifestyle has created many problems (waste generation, carbon emission and depletion of natural resources). Despite a common understanding that waste must be reduced by changing consumer behavior, very few have taken the action to change their lifestyle. This research explained why consumers keep engaging in behaviors that are harmful to the environment; we address this issue by investigating how guilt and shame associated with overconsumption influence people's decision to correct their consumption practices. Five experimental studies were conducted to examine the proposed effects.<\/div>
    \u00a0<\/div>
    Our findings show that guilt and shame, despite their co-occurrence, have contrasting implications for future behaviors. While guilt motivates corrective responses but shame tends to offset such a tendency and make the consumers less inclined to correct the problem. We also found that shame is more likely to emerge in situations that impose social comparison on the individuals. This research also identified the conditions where the negative impact of shame can be mitigated. When the situation provides an opportunity to repair one's self-image, the consumer who experience shame may also become motivated to\u00a0embrace the change. The above findings provide important insights into the development of social marketing campaigns and environmental messages.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    This study examines the effect of coaching style on individual knowledge creation as motivated by the lack of integration work between two popular organizational phenomena \u2013 coaching and knowledge management. Theoretical propositions have been developed to explicate the differential effect of guidance coaching and facilitation coaching on coachee's knowledge creation behavior. Theoretical contributions of and directions for future research generated from the current study were rigorously discussed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    In pursuing a goal, some people find it meaningful as long as they have\u00a0tried their best, regardless of the final outcome. On the other hand,\u00a0some people find it does not count anything at all if the end product is\u00a0not good. Despite the popularity of the concept, no standard\u00a0measurement has been developed to measure the individual difference\u00a0in whether people derive meaning from the effort they paid or from the\u00a0outcome they received in goal pursuit. In the present research, we\u00a0developed the meaning orientation scale to capture this concept and\u00a0examined its predictive validity and incremental validity of the scale. In\u00a0Study 1, we generated a 10-item meaning orientation scale and found\u00a0that it was related to motivation of goal pursuit. In Study 2, we found\u00a0that it was related to grit scale and tenacious goal pursuit scale, over\u00a0and above the learning goal and performance goal scales. Distinction\u00a0between this new scale and the existing scales were also discussed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Limit order books (LOBs) have been widely adopted as a trading mechanism in global securities markets and the degree of LOB transparency is one of the most studied topics in market design. This study investigates the information content of LOB data from 10 selected Hong Kong stocks. The LOB data are first divided into two data sets \u2013 the anonymous LOB and broker IDs in the bid and ask queues, and deep learning is employed to evaluate and compare the price movement predictability of both data sets. The result indicates that the overall prediction performance solely based on broker ID data set can reach, on\u00a0average, 87.65% that of the anonymous LOB data set. The contributions of this paper are two folds. First, a machine-learning based tool for finance researchers is proposed to quantitatively measure the price predictability of LOB features, and an empirical study is conducted on the impact of LOB\u00a0transparency on traders' profitability. Second, the empirical result strongly suggests that the broker ID queues in the LOB consist of significant information content for price prediction and it provides insights for regulators to determine the appropriate degree of LOB transparency so as to enable a fair market design for all investors.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Due to the unprecedented effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the rapid change in market demand and information technology, tourism firms\u00a0have scrambled to engage in service innovation to deal with technology turbulence. Drawing from cognitive dissonance theory, this study examines the effect of market and technology turbulence on employee service innovation. First, we propose employee openness represents cognitive consonance, and resistance to change to represents cognitive dissonance processes that mediate the relationship. Second, we also\u00a0propose that the above relationships will be moderated by crisis leadership efficacy. Using multi-source data from both service employees and their immediate superiors, along with a two-phase data collection process, we found that employee openness and resistance to change mediates the relationship between market and technological turbulence and service innovation. Furthermore, the findings reveal that crisis leadership efficacy strengthened the relationships (both direct and indirect, via openness and resistance to change) between technological turbulence and service innovation. Implications for theory and practice for tourism scholars and practitioners are discussed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    People tend to take no action when presented with a preselected\u00a0default among the choices in a decision-making scenario. In two well-powered samples (N = 1920), we conducted a close replication this\u00a0default effect (Johnson & Goldstein, 2003) and the configuration of\u00a0framing and defaults effects on preference construction (Johnson,\u00a0Bellman & Lohse, 2002). We successfully replicated Johnson and\u00a0Goldstein’s (2003) findings on default effects in a organ donor scenario.\u00a0In replicating Johnson, Bellman, and Lohse’s (2002) study, we found\u00a0strong support for framing effects, but the results failed to provide\u00a0support for default effects. Our results suggest that the stability of\u00a0default effects depends on the framing of the decision scenario. We\u00a0discuss implications for research on default effects and call for further\u00a0contextualized understanding in future research.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    The intangible cultural heritage of an area can uniquely position it as a tourism destination and fuel a lucrative tourism industry. However, because the literature on heritage management is primarily place-focused, a limited theoretical understanding of the relationship between intangible cultural heritage and tourism development is noted. Mass and unplanned tourism can harm city destinations by promoting inauthentic tourist encounters and cultural commodification. Thus, tourism planners need to develop strategies for preserving the intangible qualities of the cultural heritage sites they develop for tourism consumption. The present study focuses on how intangible cultural heritage items can be leveraged to enhance tourism planning and development. A case study of Cantonese opera will be conducted using grounded-theory and a qualitative methodology. The findings will have significant theoretical and practical implications for tourism destinations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Hosting sports events to attract international tourists is a common\u00a0policy practised by many host governments. Hosting mega-sports\u00a0events like the Olympics are said to leave a legacy that could impact the\u00a0attractiveness of a country\/city in the long term. However, the\u00a0opportunity to host these mega-events are limited and expensive. This\u00a0study considers the economic impact of hosting annual international\u00a0sporting events, specifically the extent to which Formula-1, ATP Tennis,\u00a0and PGA Golf can attract international tourists. Using monthly data from\u00a01985 \u2013 2018 and we show that the effect differs from one sport to\u00a0another within a country, and the same sport across countries. Hosting\u00a0the Formula-1 is most effective for Canada but has no significant impact\u00a0in the UK. ATP tennis has a significant impact on all three countries but\u00a0may not be the star event. Policy-makers must consider carefully the\u00a0sport that gives the best bang-for-the-buck.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Ageing is both a challenge and an opportunity for Hong Kong. Hong\u00a0Kong is now facing the situation of a shrinking workforce, a longer life\u00a0expectancy and an increasingly important role of professional expertise\u00a0to support its long-term economic growth. The emerging paradigm of\u00a0active ageing suggests that the ageing population will contribute to the\u00a0society economically and socially. Meanwhile, HKSAR government is\u00a0considering delaying retirement as a policy to realize active ageing. It\u00a0becomes necessary to explore its implications for employees and\u00a0employers. It is then critically important to explore extending\u00a0employment and delaying retirement of professional as the solution to\u00a0talent shortage.<\/div>

    The primary objective of this study is to explore the intentions and\u00a0expectations of Hong Kong employers and employees about extending\u00a0or renewing engagement opportunities at professional or executive\u00a0grades. Based on the literature review and the preliminary study,\u00a0propositions and constructs are identified for the formulation of\u00a0conceptual model for further study.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    This study extends the growing research on the impact of gender\u00a0diversity on public health outcomes using the ongoing COVID-19\u00a0pandemic as its research setting. The authors develop a conceptual\u00a0model incorporating the impact of gender diversity and human\u00a0development on women's representation in legislature and public\u00a0health expenditure, and their combined impact with human\u00a0environment (population density, aging population and urban\u00a0population) on important public health outcomes in the COVID-19\u00a0context, including the total number of tests, diagnosed, active and\u00a0critical cases, and deaths. The authors use the data from 210 countries\u00a0to find support for many hypotheses. The results provide useful insights\u00a0about the factors that influence the representation of women in political\u00a0systems around the world and its impact on public health outcomes.\u00a0The authors also discuss implications for public health policy-makers to\u00a0ensure efficient and effective delivery of public health services in future.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Previous research has shown that food labels influence consumption\u00a0decisions by changing inferences on food. Extending this stream of research,\u00a0we suggest that food labels also influence food choice through consumers'\u00a0motivation to convey a desired image to others. Specifically, we suggest that\u00a0when female consumers are motivated to impress others in social settings,\u00a0they strategically choose low-calorie-labeled food. Across multiple\u00a0experiments, including a field experiment conducted during job interviews,\u00a0we demonstrated that low-calorie labels increase choice share of the labeled\u00a0food or drink when consumers make choices with other person whom they\u00a0want to impress, but not when they make choices alone. We show that this is\u00a0driven by motivation to signal one's competence through choosing low-calorie-labeled food. Those who believe that food consumption reflects one's\u00a0inner qualities are more likely to choose low-calorie-labeled options to\u00a0impress others. Consumers indeed evaluate others as more competent when\u00a0their choices are labeled (vs. not labeled) as low-calorie. The choice of low-calorie-labeled food is driven by specific motivation to signal one's\u00a0competence, but not necessarily other positive traits.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Visual space is an important component in marketing communications.\u00a0While prior research has focused on the impacts of visual space on\u00a0consumer perception and judgment, the present article provides\u00a0converging evidence that the amount of space allocated around the\u00a0display of a choice set (i.e., the margin of a given choice set) affects\u00a0consumer choice and deferral. We contend that when the margin of a\u00a0choice set (e.g., blank areas of an online shopping website) is\u00a0substantial, consumers are more likely to bring to mind outside\u00a0alternatives that are not immediately available in the given choice set.\u00a0By preventing consumers from thinking of outside alternatives, a\u00a0narrow (vs. wide) margin increases choice and reduces deferral. Results\u00a0from six studies support the proposed effect. Our findings also confirm\u00a0that this effect is mitigated when the decision context involves a single\u00a0option instead of multiple options.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Mobile learning plays a paramount role in supporting e-learning and\u00a0distance learning through enabling learners to carry out learning\u00a0activities independent of time or space constraints. In designing and\u00a0developing an integrated mobile and web-based learning environment\u00a0to fulfill the ever-changing needs of learners, a good understanding of\u00a0how they utilize such platforms in their learning is essential. This study\u00a0investigated students' learning behaviour across the mobile and web-based\u00a0platforms by examining how learning activities were mixed and\u00a0matched on the platforms. Exploratory analysis and clustering\u00a0technique were applied to gain holistic understanding of usage pattern\u00a0and learning sequence from click stream data. Findings show that\u00a0students used the mobile platform to supplement the web-based\u00a0learning and self-regulated their learning across the mobile and web-based\u00a0platforms leading to considerable differences in the learning\u00a0behaviour on the platforms for different performing students.\u00a0Strategies to improve self-efficacy of students in learning across mobile\u00a0and web platforms are discussed.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    While most mobile gaming apps are freely downloadable, companies\u00a0can earn profits and generate revenue from in-app advertising. The\u00a0total number of players using a game app illustrates the profit capacity\u00a0because the larger the player population, the more advertisers will\u00a0come and contribute to the profit. While word of mouth (WOM) is\u00a0essential to increase player population, keeping current players is also\u00a0of paramount importance. This study uses the theoretical lens of self-determination\u00a0theory and goal framing theory to develop an\u00a0intervening mediation model of cognitive determinants (social\u00a0influence, perceived enjoyment, and sense of achievement) and\u00a0conative behaviors (intention to continue playing and WOM).<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Exploring tourist experience through analyzing user-generated content\u00a0(UGC) has been considered as an appropriate approach for experience\u00a0studies due to the rich information from the perspective of tourists. Thus,\u00a0this study identified the conceptual map of individuals' aboriginal tourism\u00a0experiences by analyzing UGC, including photos and texts. A total of 207\u00a0photos and 278 reviews posted by tourists on TripAdvisor were collected and\u00a0analyzed. Photo content analysis showed that aboriginal culture emerged as\u00a0the most indelible experience for visitors. Analysis of text data disclosed key\u00a0themes: park, tribe, car, garden, and children. Further analysis found\u00a0different patterns in tourist experiences across numerous travel parties and\u00a0satisfaction levels. This study explored tourists' narratives and identified\u00a0important concepts and themes of their \u201clived experience\u201d of aboriginal\u00a0tourism. The findings of this study contribute to expanding theoretical\u00a0knowledge by introducing innovative analytic techniques. Practically, this\u00a0study offers a blueprint for designing the aboriginal tourism product which\u00a0can optimize tourist experience. In addition, the differences in tourist\u00a0experience with regard to travel party and level of satisfaction suggest\u00a0specific marketing strategies for different segments.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Drawing on the person-person (P-P) fit literature, this study\u00a0demonstrates how to enhance knowledge sharing between expatriates\u00a0and their host country national (HCN) colleagues. Survey data was\u00a0collected from 84 expatriate-HCN dyads working in 31 different host\u00a0countries. Results demonstrate that when expatriates perceive higher\u00a0levels of similarity with their HCN colleagues in terms of deep-level\u00a0attributes such as values, personality, goals, and abilities (i.e. high P-P\u00a0fit), they are more likely to engage in information elaboration, which in\u00a0turn facilitates knowledge sharing. In addition, it was found that this\u00a0process was moderated by helping behaviors: for expatriates who\u00a0perceive lower levels of deep-level similarity with their HCN\u00a0counterparts (i.e. low P-P fit), regularly helping their HCN colleague\u00a0offsets the undesirable effects of low levels of deep-level similarity.\u00a0Implications for research and practice are discussed.<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    In this seminar, some general methods employed for analyzing a few important problems in the stock market, as well as other areas,\u00a0were explained. Some important results obtained\u00a0were then\u00a0illustrated, including:<\/p>

    1. A novel method for introducing the uncertainties in the prices in the stock market: this method is general and can be applied to any financial equation which can be expressed as an eigenvalue problem.<\/li>
    2. General conditions for the conservation of the probability prices in the stock market for a given option: In general this probability is non-conserved in the stock market.<\/li>
    3. The formulation of the relation price-demand for the airplane tickets as a Harmonic-oscillator.<\/li>
    4. The martingale condition considered as the ground state of a system with the symmetry under changes of the prices being spontaneously broken.<\/li>
    5. Analysis of symmetry breaking patterns related to the changes in the prices of the stocks and other possible symmetries in the market.<\/li>
    6. Decision theory and other results to come.<\/li><\/ol>
      In all these topics, we have obtained new results which we expect to be very important in the long term.<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      Volunteer tourism has been growing rapidly since the last decade. However, similar to other forms of tourism, volunteer tourism has been criticized for its increasingly commodifying development. In order to facilitate a decommodified approach in volunteer tourism, it is crucial to empower local communities and understand their needs, including their perceptions and attitudes towards volunteer tourism. Social representations have been used to examine community members' ideas, their perceptions and the ways they think about tourism development. However, how local communities perceive alternative forms of tourism, including volunteer tourism have been underresearched. Using qualitative interviews with local residents in Mongolia, one of the post-Soviet countries and a fast-growing volunteer tourism destination in the world, this research examines host communities' general understanding and attitudes towards volunteerism and volunteer tourism development based on the perceived impacts, and considers how the social constructions of volunteerism underpin local residents' perceptions of volunteer tourism. In addition, by investigating the historical and cultural influences in the host community, this study aims to pinpoint the relationship between social representations and cultural influences, offering an interesting insight to understand volunteer tourism development.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      Game riskiness is a way to quantify the risk in prisoner's dilemmas (PD) such that the riskiness of cooperation is defined by the variance of outcomes of cooperation relative to that of defection. When the variance of cooperation is larger (smaller) than that of defection, the PD is labelled as a cooperation-more risky PD (defection-more-risky PD). The present study extends the previous work on game riskiness by examining its moderating role in the effect of expectation of cooperation on cooperation rate under various mixed-motive situations. We found across four studies that game riskiness moderated the effect of expectation of cooperation on cooperation rate such that the effect of expectation of cooperation on cooperation rate was larger in cooperation-morerisky PDs than in defection-more-risky counterparts. This moderation effect was observed in N-person PD such that participants made decisions in PDs in groups of three to six (Study 1), PD in both gain and loss domain such that participants earned or lost money in PDs respectively (Study 2), PD where the expectation of cooperation was manipulated instead of measured (Study 3), and real-life situations (Study 4). We also illustrated mathematically that game riskiness is related to other established indices of PD, including the index of cooperation, fear index, and greed index, and we found empirically that the greed index also moderated the effect of expectation of cooperation on cooperation rate. This study identified game riskiness as a robust situational factor that can impact decisions in social dilemmas. It also provided insights on the underlying motivations of cooperation and defection through examining different indices of PD.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      Although countries across the globe derive a large part of their Gross Domestic\u00a0Product (GDP) from the tourism industry, the alarming rate of crisis has limited\u00a0the contribution of tourism to the macro-economy. Since the occurrence of crisis\u00a0is an inescapable phenomenon of the industry, tourism scholars have investigated\u00a0several crises related to economic, health, political, and environmental issues.\u00a0However, studies in such a stream have experiences fragmentation and limited\u00a0in-depth theoretical and conceptual understanding ranges from antecedents to\u00a0outcomes and responses. To address these gaps, this study aims to provide\u00a0a comprehensive outlook of crisis and crisis management in tourism. The purpose\u00a0of this study is twofold. First, it reviews and integrates current research on crisis\u00a0and crisis management in tourism. Second, it outlines the response and reaction\u00a0of tourists to crises. Finally, the study proposed a framework to understand\u00a0tourists' responses to crises. Implications and directions for future studies are\u00a0discussed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      Recent years have witnessed the soaring trend in the housing market of Hong Kong.\u00a0To cool down the overheated housing market, the Hong Kong government launches a\u00a0series of demand-side management measures since 2010, where these measures are\u00a0called special stamp duty (SSD, introduced in Oct. 2010), buyer's stamp duty (BSD,\u00a0enforced in Oct. 2012), double ad valorem stamp duty (AVD, announced in Feb. 2013)\u00a0and the new residential stamp duty (with effective from Nov. 2016). These measures\u00a0aim to suppress the housing demand and prevent further exuberance in the housing\u00a0market, which ensures the healthy and stable development of the housing market.\u00a0This interesting phenomenon exerts great fascination upon many researchers. Very\u00a0few studies address the impact of stamp duties on buyers' search behavior. As such,\u00a0this study intends to fill the knowledge gap by investigating how stamp duties affect\u00a0buyers' behaviour. In the existing literature, housing search behavior is often\u00a0measured by time-on-market (TOM), which refers to the duration of time it takes\u00a0until it is sold. The results of this study enable us to test and support an important\u00a0theory in housing and urban literature: if buyers' options are more limited and search\u00a0is restricted within well-defined neighborhoods, then TOM should be shortened.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      The authors of the paper presented suggest that firms confirm dual legitimacy of their cross-border acquisitions by choosing countries where institutional factors are compatible with the political ideology of their organization. They test this proposition on a sample of 1870 US cross-border acquisitions in 27 countries with varying degrees of employment protection regulations. Findings show that more liberal-leaning firms are more likely than more conservative-leaning firms to announce and complete cross-border acquisitions in countries with more inflexible employment protection regulations. Moreover, market reaction is more positive for the liberal-leaning firms. Managers, therefore, consider organizational political ideology in their decision-making so as to increase support from key stakeholders.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      The prevalence of obesity is rising worldwide, and many jurisdictions have implemented nutrition labeling regulations to curb excessive food consumption. These regulations have mainly aimed to improve awareness of nutrition information, and to educate consumers about the recommended daily calorie requirement. To date, however, there is no strong evidence that consumers' eating behaviors have improved in response to nutrition labeling. It is therefore important to understand why these regulations might not have worked as intended, and identify factors that might help consumers regulate their daily calorie intake. Given this objective, the authors propose a framework that identifies three factors that can facilitate consumers' calorie intake regulation at a day-level: literacy (daily calorie budgeting), motivation (calorie requirement at the time of consumption), and last mile intervention (reminder of cumulative prior calorie intake on that day). In a study conducted across five nations (Australia, Germany, Hong Kong in China, India, and UK), the authors showed the effectiveness of the last mile intervention when literacy and motivation conditions were met. Specifically, they found that around a quarter of consumers had advanced calorie literacy, as manifested by the behavior of setting daily calorie budgets. Furthermore, among these literate consumers, when they had high need for regulation, the intervention that reminded them of their prior cumulative calorie intake successfully reduced the amount they intended to eat. This research suggests that both improving literacy in calorie budgeting and nudging consumers with a calorie intake reminder can help them control their calorie intake. The findings provide critical implications for nutrition labeling regulations and research.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
