5 The Thesis Process in Industrial-Organizational Master’s Programs

  • Published: September 2020
  • Cite Icon Cite
  • Permissions Icon Permissions

This chapter covers the thesis process in industrial-organizational master’s programs. A master’s thesis project can be a key learning opportunity for students. Whether or not they intend to pursue a PhD, or ever conduct formal research after completing their master’s degree, students gain valuable competencies from completing a thesis, including project management skills, research skills, written and oral communication skills, critical thinking, and ethical behavior. Thesis projects are not without challenges, however. This chapter offers advice and observations based both on the research literature and the authors’ 35+ years of combined experience mentoring master’s theses. Topics addressed include feasible and appropriate projects, collaborations with organizations, navigating the Institutional Review Board process, and on-time thesis completion.

dc.description.abstractThis thesis consists of three empirical essays in industrial organization. The first chapter examines the welfare effects of intertemporal price discrimination in market for airfare using a novel structural model of dynamic consumer search. I model how consumers search for airline tickets over time using data gathered from an internet travel agent. My model features sophisticated consumers with rational beliefs about future price movements who make optimal decisions based on their beliefs. Using data on daily price and quantity in monopoly markets, I estimate the demand for airfare and calculate consumer welfare. I compare welfare to a counterfactual market in which airlines cannot price discriminate. The second chapter quantifies the impact of company-wide incentive plans on total company performance. I identify five airlines that have introduced employee incentive programs that offer monthly bonuses to all company employees as long as the company achieves a certain performance level in flight on-time performance. I present evidence that these programs are effective at increasing employee performance in spite of the temptation to be a free rider. My analysis uses Mahalanobis matching to compare each route's performance with the best matching control flight, taking advantage of the large volume of flight data available. In the third chapter I examine the role of reputation in an online marketplace that specializes in unreliable products. Using data gathered from video game resale platform G2A, I examine how buyers and sellers utilize the wide array of reputation information available. I find that buyers on this platform have an understanding of their probability of encountering a negative transaction and will utilize more reputation information in less reliable markets.en_US

Kobayashi, Shunto Jerry (2024) Dissertation (Ph.D.), California Institute of Technology. doi:10.7907/bt6y-ax30.

This dissertation comprises three essays related to the field of Empirical Industrial Organization. Chapter 1 and 2 contribute to the economic literature on online advertising auctions, and Chapter 3 contributes to the study of decision-making under risk using structural methods.

In Chapter 1, co-authored with Miguel Alcobendas, we provide a novel empirical analysis of a large-scale sequential market employing auctions to allocate objects to firms with budget constraints. Leveraging a unique proprietary dataset of online ad auctions, we examine the trade-off participants face due to short-run budget constraints. We develop and estimate a finite-horizon dynamic game among bidders with heterogeneous budgets, and we find that dynamic incentives significantly influence their participation and bidding strategies. We conduct a counterfactual simulation comparing first-price and second-price formats, illustrating how dynamics lead to significant disparities in competitive outcomes.

In Chapter 2, co-authored with Miguel Alcobendas, Matthew Shum, and Ke Shi, we investigate the impact of removing third-party cookies on the online advertising market. Utilizing a proprietary dataset of online ad auctions, we document stylized facts about the value of third-party cookies to advertisers. Adopting a structural approach, we simulate counterfactual scenarios to quantify the impact of Google's plan to phase out third-party cookies from Chrome. Our analysis suggests a 54\% reduction in publisher revenue and a 40\% reduction in advertiser surplus under an outright ban. Introduction of alternative tracking technologies under Google's Privacy Sandbox initiative would mitigate some of the loss. We find big tech firms can leverage their informational advantage to gain a larger surplus from the ban.

In Chapter 3, co-authored with Aldo Lucia, we explore the limited ability of prominent economic models in explaining multiple behavioral patterns. Conducting an experiment with 500 participants, we study two classical behaviors inconsistent with Expected Utility: the common ratio effect and preferences for randomization. We illustrate the lack of generalizability of existing models across these behaviors. Motivated by this, we introduce a novel empirical approach that does not commit on specific decision models. Our method offers more accurate out-of-sample predictions about behaviors under risk, both inside and outside laboratory settings, compared to leading economic models and machine learning algorithms.
