Biography
Jingbo Hou is a Ph.D. candidate of Information Systems at the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University. He is on the job market this year (2022-2023). He will attend CIST and INFORMS 2022 (Oct 15 - 18, 2022) in Indianapolis, IN and the ICIS 2022 Doctoral Consortium (Dec 7 - 10, 2022) in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Jingbo Hou is interested in advancing the understanding of the business implications of emerging digital technologies at both micro and macro levels. At the micro level, he is interested in examining the role of online market designs (e.g., application costs, machine-generated content, non-personalized recommendations, and solution visibility) in alleviating the information asymmetries and improving the matching efficiencies for different types of online two-sided platforms (e.g., online labor market, online data sharing platform, and online crowdsourcing competition community). At the macro level, he is interested in exploring the positive societal effects of Information and Communications Technology (ICT), e.g., telework adjustment and social media.
He taught two online sessions of CIS 315 - Intro Business Data Analytics. The course evaluation for the first session is 6.1/7.0, and the course evaluation for the second session is 6.2/7.0.

Reserach
My research projects are at different review stages in top-tier journals. Particularly, I have paper(s) under review in Management Science (one is under preparation for the 2nd round review, and another one is under the 1st round review), Information Systems Research (under the 2nd round review), and Production and Operations Management (under preparation for the 2nd round review). I am also making good progress in preparing two papers, targeted at Information Systems Research. These two ongoing projects were also presented at the major IS conferences (SCECR, CIST, etc.). In the next three years, I plan to keep working on these two streams with my dependable coauthors. In addition, with a strong interest in digital finance, I am ready to start two research projects related to cryptocurrency. A summary of my current ongoing projects is presented below.
The abstract of these studies is available.
