Barron's, March 28, 2019

The two fatal accidents involving the Boeing 737 MAXX in five months have left airlines with an expensive problem: balancing passengers’ lack of trust in the Boeing 737 MAX carrier versus the cost of cancelling orders and/or reconfiguring their fleet.

While currently one of marketers’ preferred avenues for driving brand awareness and boosting sales, celebrity endorsement remains a practice area also wrought with challenges, chief among them being the liabilities they present when celebrities behave poorly, and what disastrous effects these crises can have on a company’s reputation and stock returns. Now, new research in the INFORMS journal Management Science sheds some light on what economic effects a company’s reaction to these unforeseen events might have.
