THIS EXPLORATORY STUDY INVESTIGATES DRIVERS OF THE CRYPTOCURRENCY EX CHANGE COMPETITION. WE EXAMINE THE IMPACT OF MARKET-RELATED AND COMMUNITY-RELATED ASPECTS OF CRYPTOCURRENCY EXCHANGES ON TWO DISTINCT TYPES OF COMPETITION. OUR EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF THREE DATASETS INDICATES THAT THE COMPETITION FOR TRADING FREQUENCY IS DRIVEN BY BOTH THE MARKET AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY WHEREAS THE COMPETITION FOR TRADING QUANTITY IS DRIVEN SOLELY BY THE MARKET.
THIS PAPER PROVIDES EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE ON THE IMPACT OF REVIEWER STATUS ONTHE OBJECTIVITY OF HIS CONTRIBUTIONS IN ONLINE COMMUNITIES. WHILE PREVIOUS RESEARCH INDICATES THAT USER-GENERATED ONLINE REVIEWS GUIDE CONSUMER DECISION MAKING, LITTLE IS KNOWN ABOUT DRIVERS OF THE ACTUAL REVIEW GENERATION PROCESS. UTILIZING A DATA SAMPLE COVERING 413,077 REVIEWS POSTED OVER 12 YEARS ON TRIPADVISOR.COM, WE FIND THAT WITH INCREASED USER STATUS, REVIEW OBJECTIVITY INCREASES. THUS, WE CONTRIBUTE TO THEORY BY GENERALIZING THE SO-CALLED "POPULARITY EFFECT" TO A MULTI-DIMENSIONAL “STATUS EFFECT”.
