This paper makes a direct comparison between the relative influences and interactions of reviews from both of these sources on the sales performance of video game software. In order to empirically estimate and separate the effects of the two signals, we analyze a sample of 1480 video games and their sales figures between 2004 and 2010. We find evidence to suggest that even after taking steps to control for endogeneity, reviews from professional critics have a significantly positive influence on sales which outweighs that from consumer reviews. We also find evidence to suggest that reviews from professional critics also interact significantly with other signals of product quality. Consequently, we contend that professional critics adopt the role of an influencer, whereas word-of-mouth opinion acts more as a predictor of sales in the market for video games.}}, author = {{Cox, Joe and Kaimann, Daniel}}, journal = {{Journal of Consumer Behaviour}}, number = {{6}}, pages = {{366--377}}, publisher = {{Wiley Online Library}}, title = {{{How do reviews from professional critics interact with other signals of product quality?

We develop a novel theoretical approach to address these issues and study different signaling effects (i.e., word-of-mouth, brand reputation, and distribution strategy) on customer perceptions. Using data on the US video games market, we apply a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to account for cause-effect relationships. The results of our study address a number of key issues in the economics and management literature. First, our results support the contention that reviews from professional critics act as a signal of product quality and therefore positively influence unit sales, as do the discriminatory effects of prices and restricted age ratings. Second, we find evidence to support the use of brand extension strategies as marketing tools that create spillover effects and support the launch of new products.}}, author = {{Kaimann, Daniel and Cox, Joe}}, publisher = {{Universität Paderborn}}, title = {{{The Interaction of Signals: A Fuzzy set Analysis of the Video Game Industry}}}, year = {{2014}}, } @phdthesis{440, author = {{Kaimann, Daniel}}, publisher = {{Universität Paderborn}}, title = {{{Decision Making under Asymmetric Information in Markets for Experience Goods: Empirical Evidence of Signaling Effects on Consumer Perceptions}}}, year = {{2014}}, } @techreport{668, abstract = {{The objective of this study is the analysis of movie success mechanisms in a genre-specific context.

We conduct a cross-sectional empirical analysis across regional distinctions based on dataset that covers a time horizon of more than 30 years. We find empirical evidence that actors with ex ante popularity, award nominations and the production budget represent key movie success mechanisms and significantly influence a movie’s commercial appeal.
