【Abstract】 Using a large online transaction dataset from Eachnet,this paper empirically examines the effect of seller reputation on market transactions.We find that seller reputation has a significantly positive impact both on the probability of successful transaction and on the transaction price.As a major finding of our paper,we also show that the positive effect on the probability of successful transaction seems to be larger than that on the transaction price.These findings provide evidence on positive role of reputation in a laissez faire virtual market.更多还原
