Balancing consumer and business value of recommender systems: A simulation-based analysis

作者:

Highlights:

• We study the longitudinal effects of recommendations on consumers and providers.

• We model micro-level consumer behavior realistically using Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation.

• Our simulations cover consumer- and profit-oriented recommendation strategies.

• We consider the effects of provider reputation on social media on consumer behavior.

• Simulation outcomes stress the importance of consumer orientation in the long run.
