题目:INFORMATION, RELATIVE PERFORMANCE AND TECHNOLOGY ABANDONMENT   Abstract: This paper studies the role of relative task-specific skill in explaining the heterogeneity in technology abandonment decisions in reaction to negative information shocks. We model how physicians respond to new information regarding the effectiveness of medical technology based on their joint distribution of skills and their patients’ characteristics. We test the model’s predictions and find physicians to alter their procedural mix towards open procedures in response to negative news related to the use of minimally invasive techniques. However, this effect was nearly muted among physicians with higher relative performance on minimally invasive procedures, highlighting a key impediment to technology abandonment.   Speak Bio: Bingxiao Wu is an Assistant Professor of Economics at Rutgers University.
