A big obstacle of studying fake reviews is that the ground truth is missing. Which review is fake and which is organic? Brett and coauthors provide a dataset that contains the ground truth for individual reviews using a novel method developed over several papers. A really valuable resource!

🚨Free data alert!! 🚨 Please share. Large new dataset of Amazon product reviews, including full text and photos and product characteristics, with individual *reviews labeled as fake reviews*. I believe this is the first publicly available data of this kind. github.com/bretthollenb...

This week, I am happy to present our fake review project at the Tilburg/Rotterdam Workshop on Digital Markets. Such a great group with constructive feedback. Thanks for organizing!

Next, David Kusterer @davidkstrr.bsky.social presents his work on fake reviews. Leveraging a lab experiment, they design a feedback system with reduced incentives for sellers to buy fake reviews. Spoiler alert: Displaying all ratings and inspection seem to reduce fake reviews. Cool project!

Since their rollout, I have made heavy use of the custom GPT tools in ChatGPT. Here is a thread of some of the tools that I use regularly (all of them require ChatGPT 4). I think they are most useful for people doing quantitative social science, but some are more general.

Some exciting personal news I’ve been sitting on for a while: In January 2024, I will start as an AP in Marketing Management at the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University Rotterdam!

On my way to U Paderborn to present „Social Preferences and the Informativeness of Subjective Performance Evaluations“ in the Research Seminar on Economics and Management. Looking forward to interesting discussions with the group there!
