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!

Nice, congratulations!

Not yet, but I will let you know once we have one. Love your work on the topic btw! Just taught our students about the market for fake reviews a couple of weeks ago.

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!

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.

I am grateful for my mentors, friends, colleagues and the great time I had at the University of Cologne. Now I’m excited to meeting the terrific new colleagues in Rotterdam and to start this new chapter!

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!

Nice detective work — maybe this puzzle-solving is a reason why we like latex so much even when it drives us crazy ;-)

I wonder how long it took you to figure out it needed to be within the first 5 lines :-)
