Food Inspection, Disclosure and Consumer Reviews

主講人 : Qihong Liu 教授

This lecture explores how platform-driven disclosure of regulatory information and food inspection outcomes interacts with consumer reviews. We exploit this platform-level disclosure change to implement a difference-in-differences design comparing restaurants on Yelp (treated) with control groups before and after disclosure.
