"Does off-exchange tradingdecrease in the presence of uncertainty?" will be published by The Quarterly Review of Economics and Finance. Dr. Susan Myrden's article, "Digital Health Experience: A Regulatory Focus Perspective," will be published in theJournal of Interactive Marketing.Dr. Tanya Beaulieu, along with colleagues John Angelis, Rajendran Murthy, and Joseph Miller, published anarticle, "Better Angry than Afraid: The Case of Post Data Breach Emotions on Customer Engagement" in IEEETransactions on Engineering Management. Current research prioritizes the 'what' of data breaches, largelyignoring the question of 'why .' Their research seeks to fill a gap in the research design of prior studies on databreaches and customer behaviors by considering the customer emotions of anger and fear. "While prior researchhas focused on anger due to its contagious nature, our results demonstrate that fear is the most influentialemotion leading to changed behavior and/or lower revisit intentions," Dr. Beaulieu says. They found that angrycustomers may vent but will return with no meaningful change in their behavior. "Unlike prior research, we alsofocus on fear and find that fearful customers retreat and disengage, behaving differently from angry customers."Managerial implications of this research illustrate the need to address fearful customers differently after a databreach to avoid reduced firm interactions and withdrawal behavior as opposed to merely reducing anger in themedia as hitherto suggested.Stefano Tijerina, Ph.D., has recently published a piece in Points, the joint blog of the Alcohol & Drugs HistorySociety and the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy.
