| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Internet economy has grown so quickly that many consumers now rely on online reputations when they buy products and choose services, but still little is known so far about how much we are willing to pay for such reputation and other related information when we look for a person to work with. This paper answers this question by using data from the world's largest online labor market, where all transactions are publicly observable. Estimation results show that employers pay closer attention to detailed information such as experience rather than overall online reputations. The findings also demonstrate that employers are more likely to hire workers from some specificc countries and less likely to hire those from others, pointing to potential discrimination even in online labor markets where most of private information is not available. The study also illustrates that not only employers but also employees have specific preferences on their potential business partners.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
従来の労働市場においては、男女差別や学歴・職歴・人種・顔写真その他等による差別が問題視されてきた。本研究は、世界中で急速に普及が進むオンライン労働市場という新たなプラットフォームにおいて、これまでの労働市場とどのように違う特性があるのかを分析したものである。ここから見出されるオンライン上の特長は、従来市場で不便を強いられてきた労働者にとって、新たな求職チャネルを提供するという点で、学術的のみならず社会的意義もある研究となっている。
