Trust in Recommendations: Applying the Base-Rate Paradigm to Surrogation Vs. Simulation
Consumers increasingly depend on online reviews to inform purchase decisions; yet, Gilbert et al.

We posit that the perceived diagnosticity of the surrogate’s rating determines how much people rely on and use surrogation.
