I show how changes in competition affect the power of reputation to induce sellers to exert effort. The impact of …. To guide the empirical analysis, I develop a model of reputation where the relative number of hosts and guests affects … the value of building a reputation through effort. In this framework, more competition depresses hosts' profits and leads …

Do rating systems provide incentives to sellers when they are about to exit a market? Using data from Airbnb, this paper examines how end-of-game considerations affect hosts’ effort decisions. We take advantage of a regulation on short-term rentals in the City of Los Angeles to identify hosts...

We study equilibrium reporting behavior in Fischbacher and Föllmi-Heusi (2013) type cheating games when agents have a fixed cost of lying and image concerns not to be perceived as a liar. We show that equilibria naturally arise in which agents with low costs of lying randomize among a set of...
