报告简介：

Exploiting the random assignment of college roommates, this study examines peer effects in knowledge sharing in online communities from three aspects: behaviors, motivations, and perceptions of the features of knowledge shared online. Results show that peers’ average knowledge sharing behaviors, especially the aggregate level of contribution, play a strong and positive role in determining an individual’s corresponding behaviors. Individuals are also positively affected by peers’ non-monetary motivation to share online, as well as their perceived importance of fast delivered information. Moreover, we provide evidence that peers’ perceived features of knowledge shared online affect individuals’ knowledge sharing behaviors, and individuals’ online knowledge sharing are positively affected by peers’ offline contribution decision. Further analyses reveal heterogeneous peer effects by the type of online communities, gender, Hukou type (rural vs. urban), and college major.
