AI versus human-generated hotel pricing
This study examines hotel guests’ perceptions of AI-generated versus human-generated pricing, focusing on the roles of trustworthiness and fairness in booking preferences. While revenue management traditionally emphasizes price outcomes, growing interest in transparency raises questions about whether consumers should be informed about how prices are determined, particularly when AI is involved. We conducted two experiments using a discrete choice…
Rights and Responsibilities of Hospitality Service Robots
This research paper addresses the evolving question of whether—and with what consequences—hospitality service robots should be afforded rights and responsibilities, amid their growing adoption and anthropomorphic design. Moreover, the paper outlines arguments about how the hospitality and tourism industries would be affected if service robots were eventually afforded rights and responsibilities. Arguments regarding robots’ rights and responsibili…
Turning the tide against malaria in high-burden African countries
Despite decades of progress, malaria continues to impose an outsized health and economic burden in High Burden to High Impact (HBHI) countries. Using World Health Organization (WHO) data from 2015–2024, we analyzed epidemiological trajectories with the Mann-Kendall (MK) trend test, which handles heteroscedastic data, identified persistent bottlenecks, and assessed the effectiveness of current strategies. Actionable solutions have also been propos…
Long Story Short
We develop a general theory of omitted variable bias for a wide range of common causal parameters, including average treatment effects, average causal derivatives, and policy effects from covariate shifts. We show how plausibility judgments on the maximum explanatory power of omitted variables are sufficient to bound the bias, facilitating sensitivity analysis in otherwise complex models. Finally, we provide statistical inference methods that can…

Beyond rate parity
This study investigated how price and non-price content disparities on online travel agencies (OTA) and hotels’ direct booking websites affect consumers’ hotel booking decisions, focusing on the role of cancellation flexibility and OTA credibility. Price parity across channels can significantly shift consumer preference toward the direct hotel booking website. Conversely, price disparities can prompt further evaluation of non-price content attrib…

Piracy is the primary problem for the film and entertainment industry. It not only adversely affects revenue but also distorts the entertainment industry. Due to piracy, there is insufficient encou
Hybrid models combining trend and seasonality components with machine learning algorithms provide accurate forecasting of malaria incidence
Forecasting malaria incidence is vital for effective resource allocation during malaria elimination. In this study, we highlight robust models for forecasting incidence using climatic and malaria data from Goa, India. Multi-collinearity and Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) were used to identify most important predictors of malaria transmission among 15 climatic variables. Three machine-learning models (Support vector machines, Random Forest, …

Linkages between malaria and malnutrition in co-endemic regions of India
INTRODUCTION: Malaria and malnutrition are key public health challenges in India. However, the relationship between them is poorly understood. Here, we aimed to elucidate the potential interactions between the two health conditions by identifying the areas of their spatial overlap. METHODS: We have analysed the district-wise undernutrition and malaria data of 638 districts of India across 28 states and 8 union territories. Data on malnutrition pa…
Transformation of Consumer Expectations for Well-Being in Hospitality
Systemic shifts in consumer preferences and expectations are not new, and can often be accelerated by major environmental events. Early evidence suggests that the events of 2020 to 2021 may have created that acceleration to fundamentally alter future consumer preferences. In this study, we argue that consumer expectations are on the path to being essentially transformed. If so, such transformations will require a renewed focus on consumer prefere…

Climate zones are a key component of the heterogeneous presentation of malaria and should be added as a malariometric for the planning of malaria elimination
Malaria is a climate-sensitive disease and different climatic conditions affect the propagation of malaria vectors thereby influencing malaria incidence. The present study was undertaken to delineate malaria distribution across different climate types and sub-types in India and assess its significance as a malariometric in the ongoing elimination activities. All Indian districts were classified into three major climatic zones (Tropical, Temperate…
Tracking district-level performance in the context of achieving zero indigenous case status by 2027
India has committed to zero indigenous malaria cases by 2027 and elimination by 2030. Of 28 states and 8 union territories of India, eleven states were targeted to reach the elimination phase by 2020. However, state-level epidemiology indicates that several states of India may not be on the optimum track, and few goals set in National Framework for Malaria Elimination (NFME) for 2020 remain to be addressed. Therefore, tracking the current progres…
Vaccination coverage and breakthrough infections of Covid-19 during the second wave among staff of selected medical institutions in India
India experienced the second wave of SARS-CoV-2 infection from April 3 to June 10, 2021. During the second wave, Delta variant B.1617.2 emerged as the predominant strain, spiking cases from 12.5 million to 29.3 million (cumulative) by the end of the surge in India. Vaccines against COVID-19 are a potent tool to control and end the pandemic in addition to other control measures. India rolled out its vaccination programme on January 16, 2021, initi…
Corporate social responsibility and firm performance in the airline industry
Firm Performance During a Crisis
The government-mandated closure of U.S. restaurants for in-restaurant dining during the early stages of the COVID-19 crisis cast a spotlight on operators' ability to effectively innovate, and re-imagine their product offerings. In this context, this research draws on the resource-advantage theory of competitive advantage, proposing that (1) an adhocracy culture is a key internal resource that operators can leverage to drive rapid incremental prod…

Prediction and explanation in social systems
Historically, social scientists have sought out explanations of human and social phenomena that provide interpretable causal mechanisms, while often ignoring their predictive accuracy. We argue that the increasingly computational nature of social science is beginning to reverse this traditional bias against prediction; however, it has also highlighted three important issues that require resolution. First, current practices for evaluating predicti…
The development and pilot testing of a multicomponent health promotion intervention (Seher) for secondary schools in Bihar, India
BACKGROUND: Schools can play an important role in health promotion by improving students' health literacy, attitudes, health-related behaviours, social connection and self-efficacy. These interventions can be particularly valuable in low- and middle-income countries with low health literacy and high burden of disease. However, the existing literature provides poor guidance for the implementation of school-based interventions in low-resource setti…

Promoting school climate and health outcomes with the Seher multi-component secondary school intervention in Bihar, India
Loss Aversion of Time
Loss aversion has been extensively studied in economics, but there is less discussion of it in the context of time. Results from a field experiment conducted in a U.S. public school lunch cafeteria suggest that students could be loss averse to time and that interventions, such as a pre-plated service lane could increase the speed of service and guide students to make better food choices. Faster, pre-plated service lanes may leverage loss aversion…
Reading Behavior and Compliance Among Ecuadorian University Students
A study into reading behavior and reading compliance among 2,600 students in five universities in Ecuador found that their reading behavior and reading compliance were better than among students in the United States, despite the challenges that exist in Ecuadorian higher education. Suggestions for future research, in particular with regard to improving students’ time management skills as a way to enhance their reading compliance, are included

For malaria elimination India needs a platform for data integration
box Despite a substantial decline in global burden of malaria, it remains one of the most significant public health problems in Africa and South Asia. Malaria incidence has declined globally between 2010 and 2018 from 71 to 57 cases per 1000 population at risk but the pace of reduction has slowed between 2014 to 2018. An estimated ~228 million cases of malaria occurred worldwide in 2018 with WHO South East Asia region contributing 3.4% of the bur…
Role of Signals In Consumers’ Economic Valuation of Restaurant Choices
While businesses provide “signals” related to products/services to alleviate information asymmetry and facilitate consumers’ economic valuation of their offerings, it is not always clear which of these signals is more effective. This study investigated the comparative effectiveness of signals on influencing consumers’ choices and their willingness to pay (WTP) for a restaurant meal. Results of an online stated choice experiment (N =328) suggest t…

Forest malaria
Despite the decrease in malaria mortality and morbidity, it remains a significant public health problem in India. India is targeting malaria elimination from the country by 2030. Different areas in India are in different phases of malaria elimination. The emerging resistance in vectors as well parasite have added necessity to accelerate the malaria elimination programme. Forested areas remain the foci for malaria transmission due to favourable hu…
Relapses of Plasmodium vivax malaria threaten disease elimination
Millions suffer from the scourge of malaria across the world, reflected by the estimated 228 million cases and 0.4 million deaths it caused in 2018, as reported in the World Malaria Report 2019. India and African nations shouldered 85% of the world’s malaria burden in 2018. The South-East Asia Region recorded a 70% decrease in malaria incidence from 2010 (17 cases/1000 population) to 2018 (5 cases/1000 population). Despite the absolute reduction …
