This subproject aims at developing measures to reduce information asymmetries in OTF markets. Although online reviews have been identified to be an appropriate instrument for this purpose, there is a lack of systematical fundamental insights. Therefore, we seek for a holistic view on online reviews in OTF markets by analyzing consumers’ behavior in searching and purchasing and the drivers of online-reviews and, thereby, develop a deeper understanding about the mechanisms and generation of online-reviews in OTF (related) markets. These insights are, than, used to develop designs of online review systems.
