[Air-l] Re: eBay research

[Vishwanath, Arun]

Jonathan
I have done some work recently on data from eBay. 2 of my papers seem to fit
your query, 
1."COMPARING ONLINE INFORMATION EFFECTS: A Cross Cultural Comparison of
Information and Uncertainty Avoidance."- This paper explores information
effects on online eBay auctions across 3 cultures, USA, Germnay, and Japan; 
2."MANIFESTATIONS OF INTERPERSONAL TRUST IN ONLINE INTERACTION: A Cross
Cultural Study Comparing The Differential Utilization Of Seller Ratings By
eBay Auction Participants In Canada, France, And Germany."

In addition I have some papers that explore the discriminant effect of
prices such as reserve price and initial (minimum) price in bidding etc.
The above 2 papers are under review, however I would be more that willing to
email them to you if you need them.

Hope that helps,

Arun

Dear Jonathan,

a good place to start looking for eBay research is David
Lucking-Reiley's 
Homepage - he has some interesting working papers on eBay that include
good 
references:
http://eller.arizona.edu/~reiley/cv.html#workingpapers

Also very interesting, but in German, is
Brinkmann, U., & Seifert, M. (2001). "Face to Interface": Zum Problem
der 
Vertrauenskonstitution im Internet am Beispiel von elektronischen
Auktionen 
["Face to interface": On the problem of constituting trust in the
internet, 
as for example in electronic auctions]. Zeitschrift für Soziologie, 30,
23-47.

Published work on the subject also include:

Houser, D., & Wooders, J. (2001). Reputation in auctions: Theory, and 
evidence from eBay. University of Arizona Working Paper #00-1. Retrieved

December 30, 2001, from http://bpaosf.bpa.arizona.edu/~jwooders/ebay.pdf

and

Lucking-Reiley, D. (2000). Auctions on the internet: What's being 
auctioned, and how? The Journal of Industrial Economics, 48, 227-252.

Hope to have helped,

Michael
