DESCRIPTION:\n\nEssays on Evaluations: Trajectories\, Transparency\, and De
 sensitization\n\nFriday\, October 10\, 2025\, at 9:30am\n\n \n\nAnton Ande
 rsson\, a doctoral student at McGill University in the area of Strategy & 
 Organization will be presenting his research proposal entitled:\n\n(The pr
 esentation will be conducted on Zoom)\n\nStudent Committee Co-chairs: Prof
 essor Robert David\n\n\nABSTRACT\n\nPrestigious awards are among the most 
 attention-grabbing and status-inducing evaluations in markets. While the a
 udience-side effects of awards are well-documented in prior work\, critica
 l questions remain unanswered about the actions of award voters and the ac
 tor-side effects of award outcomes. First\, it is often assumed that exper
 t evaluators need to be neutral to maintain their legitimacy\, but voters 
 may be incentivized to act strategically or be subject to bias\, distortin
 g the fairness and informational value of awards as quality signals. But h
 ow and under what conditions is this likely to be the case? Second\, we kn
 ow little about how prestigious awards influence the behavior of the winni
 ng actors. Do they become explorative\, leveraging their newfound status t
 o pursue unconventional market opportunities\, or conservative\, seeking t
 o protect their heightened standing?\n\nI propose a three-essay dissertati
 on design to address these questions. The first two essays investigate the
  question of voters' actions\, while the third essay investigates the ques
 tion of actors’ behavioral responses to winning awards. Specifically\, in 
 the first essay\, I investigate whether transparency into voters' evaluati
 ons impacts their voting behaviors and\, if so\, what is driving that effe
 ct. In the second essay\, I study how voters' familiarity with candidates 
 and candidates' prior recognition impacts award outcomes. Finally\, in the
  third essay\, I explore how winning awards influences actors’ future mark
 et behaviors. I focus on how the pre-award trajectories of winners inform 
 their post-award choices. Through these studies\, I aim to provide new ins
 ights into the antecedents and consequences of social evaluations.\n
