In this talk, we explore the Keyword Recommender System (KRS) and consider its impact on sales volumes and market concentration. Unlike traditional, item-level recommenders, KRSs facilitate search query formation with potentially positive or negative consequences for search costs, resultant product fit, transaction volumes, and consumption diversity. We explore these effects via a randomized field experiment conducted with one of the largest mobile food-delivery platforms in Asia. The results of this experiment show that providing consumers with access to a KRS leads to a 1.2% rise in purchases over a 30-day period. Furthermore, access to a KRS leads to increased sales diversity, at both the individual and market levels.

While many studies have examined contributors’ participation in open source software (OSS) communities, limited attention has been paid to the quality of their contribution. We build on von Hippel and von Krogh’s (2003) idea of private benefits and develop a model to examine how new comer contributors’ decisions regarding i) continued participation and ii) effort investment (in subsequent contribution) are affected by their beliefs about the private benefits they expect to obtain, and how the formation of such beliefs depends on their initial interactions with project gatekeepers.
