As platform information becomes increasingly diverse in source and moda lity\, an important question for information systems research is how these different forms of information affect behavior across digital contexts.\n \nThis thesis investigates how information generated by users\, facilitate d by firms\, and imposed by regulators influences behavioral outcomes on d igital platforms. Essay 1 examines user-generated information in online re views. It investigates how inconsistency across review cues\, including st ar ratings\, textual sentiment\, and user-generated images\, affects purch ase behavior. Essay 2 focuses on firm-facilitated information in AI-driven recommendation systems and explores how human involvement shapes consumer purchase decisions\, as well as the contextual and relational conditions under which such involvement becomes more or less effective. Essay 3 studi es regulation-induced information on video-sharing platforms by examining how mandated identity disclosure influences audience engagement and how su ch disclosure may trigger perceived violations of the implicit psychologic al contracts between creators and audiences. Taken together\, the three es says advance understanding of how information influences decision-making o n digital platforms by highlighting the roles of cue inconsistency\, multi modal information\, human involvement\, and regulatory disclosure.\n DTSTART:20260319T150000Z DTEND:20260319T170000Z SUMMARY:PhD Research Proposal Presentation: Heui Jae Choi URL:/desautels/channels/event/phd-research-proposal-pr esentation-heui-jae-choi-372895 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
