摘要:

线上评论不仅为潜在消费者的购买决策提供参考依据,也会影响店铺销售量。尽管学者们对线上评论进行了深入研究,但很少涉及店铺评论的相互影响。本文基于大众点评网北京地区餐饮店铺的线上评论数据,实证研究附近店铺评论对中心店铺评论的影响,以及店铺密度和产品相似性的调节作用。研究发现:附近店铺的评论数量(评论分数)对中心店铺的评论数量(评论分数)具有显著的负向影响,附近店铺的评论数量(评论分数)越高,中心店铺的评论数量(评论分数)越低;店铺密度和产品相似性在其中起调节作用,店铺密度越大,附近店铺评论对中心店铺评论的负向影响越强;对于提供类似产品的店铺,附近店铺评论对中心店铺评论的负向影响会更强。

关键词: 线上评论, 竞争, 评论分数, 评论数量
