  text: 'Recent literature reports concerns about implausibly high Overall ratings
    in the sharing economy, which undermines the credibility of this rating as a quality
    signal. This study empirically investigates the relationship between quality and
    price, commonly captured by the Value dimension in multidimensional rating systems,
    to reveal whether reviewers form a perception of quality that they then express
    in the Value dimension, rather than in the Overall rating. We test our hypotheses
    on a comprehensive panel dataset for 14,859 Airbnb listings in New York. Our preliminary
    empirical findings show that an increase in price leads to a significant and substantial
    decrease in the Value rating, suggesting that Value ratings can offer a valuable
    source of information for potential buyers in addition to the supposedly inflated
    Overall rating. Moreover, this mechanism has substantial implications for potential
    buyers who seek to evaluate a listing’s quality and for a seller’s price setting. '
