When are signals complements or substitutes?
The paper introduces a notion of complementarity (substitutability) of two signals which requires that in all decision problems each signal becomes more (less) valuable when the other signal becomes available. We provide a general characterization which relates complementarity and substitutability to a Blackwell-comparison of two auxiliary signals. In a special setting with a binary state space...
متن کاملAre Information-gathering and Producing Complements or Substitutes?
We aim at some simple theoretical underpinnings for the study of a complex empirical question studied by labor economists and others: does Information-technology improvement lead to occupational shifts — toward " information workers " and away from other occupations — and to changes in the productivity of non-information workers? In our simple model there is a Producer, whose payoff depends on ...
متن کاملSubgoals as Substitutes or Complements 1 Subgoals as Substitutes or Complements : the Role of Goal Accessibility
The self-regulation process often involves breaking an ongoing goal (e.g., keeping in shape) into many individual, constituent subgoals that monitor actual actions (e.g., eating healthy meals, going to the gym). The current article examines how pursuing each of these subgoals may influence subsequent goal pursuit. We show that when people consider success on a single subgoal, additional actions...

This study answers this question by understanding substitution and complementarity of IT and inventories insofar as they impact profitability of a firm. We use data on IT expenditures and inventories of U.S firms and find support for the substitution between IT and overall inventories. Because overall inventories compris...
