      The Gifts We Keep on Giving: Documenting and Destigmatizing the Regifting Taboo

      By: Gabrielle S. Adams, Francis J. Flynn and Michael I. Norton
      Five studies investigate whether the practice of "regifting"-a social taboo-is as offensive to givers as regifters assume. Participants who imagined regifting thought that the original givers would be more offended than givers reported feeling, to such an extent that... View Details

      The Need for (long) Chains in Kidney Exchange

      By: Itai Ashlagi, David Gamarnik, Michael A. Rees and Alvin E. Roth
      It has been previously shown that for sufficiently large pools of patient-donor pairs, (almost) efficient kidney exchange can be achieved by using at most 3-way cycles, i.e., by using cycles among no more than 3 patient-donor pairs. However, as kidney exchange has... View Details

      Why Every Company Needs a CSR Strategy and How to Build It

      By: Kash Rangan, Lisa Chase and Sohel Karim
      The authors argue for a strategic and pragmatic, rather than ideological, approach to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) that contrasts sharply with the prevailing Shared Value framework offered by Porter and Kramer (HBR; Jan.-Feb. 2011). We assert that, despite... View Details
