    Abstract: We use the 2012 South Carolina Department of Revenue data breach as a natural experiment to study how data breaches and news coverage about them affect consumers’ interactions with the credit market and their use of credit. We find that some consumers directly exposed to the breach protected themselves against potential losses from future fraudulent use of stolen information by monitoring their files and freezing access to their credit reports. However, these consumers continued their regular use of existing credit cards and did not switch lenders. The response of consumers exposed to the news about the breach only was negligible.
    Keywords: identity theft; fraud alert; data breach; consumer protection; credit report

    Abstract: Demand for rhino horn products is the main driver of illegal hunting of African rhinos. Using choice modelling we identify the main drivers of demand and estimate consumer willingness to pay for rhino horn attributes of high policy relevance among Vietnamese users and potential users. We find that wild or semi-wild sourced horn, harvested humanly from least rare species is the most valued among Vietnamese consumers. Furthermore, consumers are willing to pay more for illegally-traded horn, indicating that the international ban on the trade has generated a premium for illegal horn.

    Abstract: The process of employee branding (EeB), according to Miles and Mangold (2004; 2005) promotes and strengthen the psychological contract between employees and the organization by increasing and maximizing the employees’ sense of commitment and loyalty. The object of this research focuses on the measurement of the impact of mentoring and helping relationships in the informal process of EeB, with a focus on People and on an integrated vision of the Human Resources Management and Organizational Behavior, based on the exchange ratio of Relationship Marketing. With the introduction of a new variable (mentoring and helping relationships), this article focuses on the construction of the measuring instrument and the confirmation of its validity and reliability, in order to measure the involvement and internalization of the “effect of employee brand” in organizations.
    Keywords: employee branding, human resources management, relationship marketing, mentoring and helping relationships, measuring instrument.
