Platform-mediated reputation systems in the sharing economy and incentives to provide service quality: The case of ridesharing services

作者:

Highlights:

• A case study of 9 ridesharing platforms reviews reputation-based control mechanisms.

• An inter-temporal choice model analyses their effects on drivers’ compliance.

• Scale of rating and threshold for exclusion are irrelevant for incentives if they can switch.

• Portability of reputation improves incentives.

• Uncertainty as to the operation of the algorithm may enhance efficiency.
