Believe it when you see it: Dyadic embeddedness and reputation effects on trust in cryptomarkets for illegal drugs
Large-scale online marketplace data have been repeatedly used to test sociological theories on trust between strangers. Most studies focus on sellers’ aggregate reputation scores, rather than on buyers’ individual decisions to trust. Theoretical predictions on how repeated exchanges affect trust within dyads and how buyers weigh individual experience against reputation feedback from other actors have not been tested directly in detail. What do bu…
Reputation transferability across contexts: Maintaining cooperation among anonymous cryptomarket actors when moving between markets
Reputation transferability embeds cryptomarket users beyond a single market platform, which incentivizes cooperative behavior. The results also suggest that reputation transferability might contribute to a quick recovery of online drug trade after shutdowns and accumulation of market share in the hands of a small fraction of successful sellers
Network structure and economic prosperity in municipalities: A large-scale test of social capital theory using social media data
Offline constraints in online drug marketplaces: An exploratory analysis of a cryptomarket trade network
Online drug trade networks might still be heavily shaped by offline (geographic) constraints, despite their ability to provide access for end-users to large international supply. Cryptomarkets might be more "localized" and less international than thought before. We discuss potential explanations for such geographical clustering and implications of the findings
Sustainability of generalized exchange in the sharing economy: The case of the “freecycling” Facebook groups
The growth of sharing economy has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. These online platforms bring together individuals willing to share and those, who are in need. While sharing in some of these platforms is reciprocated by money or reputation, some platforms rely heavily on individuals’ good will to give their things away with no personal benefit. Why do individuals cooperate in environments, where there is every incentive to free-rid…
Unemployment and the Division of Housework in Europe
Unemployment, especially in insecure times, has devastating effects on families, but it is not clear what happens to domestic work. On the one hand, unemployment frees up time for more housework by both men and women. On the other hand, once unemployed, women may take on more additional housework than men do, either because they capitalize on their time to act out traditional gender roles or because unemployment compounds women’s general disadvan…
Order without Law: Reputation Promotes Cooperation in a Cryptomarket for Illegal Drugs
The emergence of large-scale cooperation in humans poses a major puzzle for the social and behavioural sciences. Reputation formation—individuals’ ability to share information about others’ deeds and misdeeds—has been found to promote cooperation. However, these findings are mostly based on small-scale laboratory and field experiments or on data gathered from online markets embedded in functioning legal systems. Using a unique data set of transac…
