Audited reputation. (English) Zbl 1255.91043

Summary: We study reputations with imperfect audit and a reputation market. The main result shows the existence of a separating equilibrium in the reputation market, which contrasts with S. Tadelis [“The market for reputations as an incentive mechanism”, J. Polit. Econ. 110, No. 4, 854–882 (2002)].
