Dr. Michael Platt, James S. Riepe University Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and former President of the Society for Neuroeconomics, shares fascinating insights from his research, “How Celebrity Status and Gaze Direction in Ads Drive Visual Attention and Shape Consumer Decisions.”

This study explores how celebrity endorsements and gaze direction in ads affect consumer attention and decision-making. Using eye-tracking, pupillometry, and computational modeling with 77 participants, researchers found that celebrities and their gaze cues guide where viewers look and influence what they choose. The findings reveal that celebrity presence alters how people gather and weigh evidence when making decisions, shaping both visual focus and choice bias.

The Neuroscience Behind Celebrity Ads: Insights from Dr. Michael Platt

Dr. Deborah Carr, Director of the Center for Innovation in Social Science and Arts & Sciences Distinguished Professor of Sociology at Boston University, discusses her research titled “Do Social Security Benefit Rules Perpetuate Marital Status and Gender Inequalities?”

Social Security rules favor married people and disadvantage divorced, prematurely widowed, and lifelong single older adults, creating economic gaps that mostly impact women. Using data from a long-term study of White high school graduates, the research found married older adults enjoy higher income and lower poverty rates, while divorced women and those widowed young face the greatest financial risks. Policy reforms like caregiver credits could help reduce these inequalities in late-life economic security.

Prof. David Silver of the University of British Columbia discusses key ideas from his newly released book, “Corporations and Persons: A Theory of the Firm in Democratic Society.”

The book argues that corporations are moral persons with duties toward democratic society. It proposes a persons-based theory of the firm, which sees the creation of products and services that benefit people as its core purpose, distinct from profit-maximization views. It emphasizes that corporations’ rights and duties should be shaped democratically, that societies can structure firms to serve justice, and that the corporate–society relationship must evolve from dysfunction to mutual respect to protect democratic values.

Unlocking the Metaverse Economy: Harvard Researcher Dr. Paola Cecchi-Dimeglio Explains

Prof. Noam Shamir, Associate Professor of Operations Strategy at the Coller School of Management, Tel Aviv University, shares key insights from his research study titled “Sales Information Transparency and Trust in Repeated Vertical Relationships.”

Prof. Noam Shamir's groundbreaking research on sales information transparency and trust in vertical relationships addresses one of the most pressing challenges in modern supply chains: how independent companies with competing interests can collaborate effectively. Rooted in real-world experience and refined over 15 years of academic inquiry, his work challenges conventional assumptions about information sharing, revealing that transparency's true value extends far beyond demand forecasting. Through rigorous theoretical modeling and practical insights, Prof. Shamir demonstrates that when supply chain partners engage in repeated interactions and share strategic sales information, they unlock greater efficiency, build mutual trust, and create win-win opportunities though paradoxically, perfect transparency isn't always the answer. His research illuminates why strategic ambiguity sometimes outperforms complete disclosure, and how the interplay between trust, contract design, and bargaining power shapes outcomes for manufacturers, retailers, and ultimately, the entire supply chain ecosystem.
