The causal effects of online ratings on buyer and seller behavior
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This dissertation explores how online ratings influence the actions of buyers and sellers. It begins by analyzing the causal effects of increases in star ratings on demand for products in an e-commerce market, and how those effects vary across different products, sellers, and customers. After finding significant responses from buyers to rating increases, it confirms that there is no pricing response from sellers in the same market to this demand shock. This dissertation concludes by finding that the relative pricing responses of high and low reputation sellers depends on the competition faced by the sellers
