Together with Diana Tran Nhat and Timm Teubner from the Technical University Berlin, Laura Thäter has just published the journal article "The duality of reputation portability: Investigating the demand effect of imported ratings across online labor markets" in the journal Electronic Markets. 

The paper investigates the impact of reputation portability on demand across online labor markets. Specifically, it explores how introducing reputation portability affects the demand for workers and the influence of imported ratings on this demand. The findings suggest that while imported ratings stimulate demand, their effect is lower compared to onsite ratings, raising concerns about potential unintended consequences, particularly favoring workers with high rating volumes.
