How Retailers Can Capitalize on the Refund Effect In 2022, U.S. consumers returned 16.5% of purchases, costing retailers an estimated $816 billion in lost revenue. Research suggests that cross-selling products during the return process is an effective strategy to reduce this revenue loss. Across a number of experiments, researchers found that consumers treat refunds as money already lost, so it’s less painful to spend these funds on another purchase, so long as cross-selling occurs before the money is reissued to the customers’ original payment method and consumers initially expected to keep the goods they were planning to buy. The researchers also found that this “refund effect” applies across categories. Creating return policies and practices informed by the refund effect can reduce revenue loss from product returns in a way that benefits both consumers and retailers.

SingaporeSingapore SingaporeSingaporeU.S. Spending on Clean Energy and Tech Spurs Allies to Compete  Business leaders and analysts said the frustration in the European Union stemmed partly from broader economic concerns after the conflict with Russia. The combination of higher energy prices and tougher competition from the United States and China has pushed down foreign direct investment in Europe and sparked other fears. SingaporeSingapore SingaporeSingapore SingaporeWorkWhat to expect when Bronny James plays his first college game for USC  Freshmen Brandon Gardner and Arrinten Page, a pair of four-star recruits, haven\'t really cracked the rotation with a team full of veteran contributors. But Collier continues to campaign as the projected No. 1 pick in next summer\'s NBA draft, per ESPN\'s mock draft. Collier (17.3 PPG, 4.5 APG, 40% from the 3-point line) is already one of the best players in America. But his issues with turnovers (4.6 per game) are a concern. Still, Collier and Ellis can guide USC to the NCAA tournament. If James returns and plays to his potential, he could extend the depth of a squad with three players averaging double figures. -- Medcalf WorkStocks are taking off on a 'liquidity rally' and will rocket to new highs in 2024, Fundstrat says  Other forecasters on Wall Street have generally warmed up to the prospect of a soft-landing and so-called immaculate disinflation, a dream scenario for stocks that involves the US avoiding a recession while inflation cools. Another positive year for the S&P 500 is becoming a widely held view on Wall Street, with Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, and Société Générale also predicting the index could notch a new all-time-high in 2024.

And the weekend's top matchups to keep an eye on  Long Beach State has an aggressive defense that has forced turnovers on one-fifth of its opponents\' possessions. If Lassina Traore (11.6 PPG, 9.8 RPG) and Marcus Tsohonis (17.2 PPG) are both healthy, Dan Monson\'s squad could put up a fight. But it\'s difficult to see any upset possibilities in the most anticipated debut of a player in recent college basketball history. Work2023 Heisman Tracker: Final votes from our writers  As Marvin Harrison Jr. mulls over that last request, we now look ahead to the Heisman Trophy race of 2024. Will Jalen Milroe indeed be the favorite to bring Bama its fifth Heisman since 2009 after going 0-for-72? Will Michigan\'s J.J. McCarthy, who spent a huge chunk of this season on the Tracker, return to Ann Arbor with an eye on joining Desmond Howard, Charles Woodson and Tom Harmon in the Blue Heisman club? Will Dillon Gabriel make a Heisman run from what is expected to be his third FBS school? Or will someone we haven\'t even thought of be making a climb up our fancy digital Heisman Tracker hill one year from now? If 2023 has taught us anything, it\'s that we have no idea what might happen. Reports of the bronze footballer\'s demise were most definitely exaggerated. Not only is Mr. Heisman not outdated, he would appear to be just getting started. WorkWorkIn Las Vegas, Biden Speaks the Name He Often Doesn’t  The shift comes as officials for the Biden campaign have taken an interest in trying to use Mr. Trump, and his actions and words both during and after his presidency, as a foil to bolster Mr. Biden’s re-election effort. That strategy is one that some other elected Democrats across the country have been less keen on, arguing that Mr. Biden needs to do more to promote his own accomplishments while in office.

WorkWorkRyan O’Neal, Master of the Offbeat Meet-Cute  “What’s Up, Doc?” concludes with Judy repeating the line about never saying you’re sorry, a little joke within the joke. And Howard, with O’Neal’s easy smile, smitten with her, proclaims, “That’s the dumbest thing I ever heard.” WorkStream These Ryan O’Neal Movies  In the ’90s and through to the end of his life, O’Neal’s acting was increasingly consigned to television work and small supporting roles. But he turned out to be a fine character actor as well, and one of the best films of that period is this clever, melancholy mash-up of comedy, drama and mystery from the writer-director Jake Kasdan. Bill Pullman plays Daryl Zero, “the world’s most private detective,” a brilliant but reclusive Sherlock Holmes type; Ben Stiller is the Watson to his Holmes. O’Neal turns up as Gregory Stark, a millionaire who hires Zero to find the key to his safe deposit box. As is customary for such characters, there’s more to this man than meets the eye, and O’Neal bracingly does what only the best actors can do: he projects furtiveness, while seeming to have nothing to hide. That duality and complexity was part of what made him such a special and distinctive screen presence for so long. WorkWorkWorkJake Tapper Mocks Rep.
