Management Science 71(5), 4049–4065

B2B field experiments during COVID-19 show that suppliers quote shorter lead times when purchases are intended for donation or when severe local crisis information is provided. A later experiment finds that the donation effect persists in the new normal, while the effect of crisis information fades.
