随着虚拟世界行业在过去几年的快速发展,虚拟商品和服务的交易显着增长。虚拟物品创作者可以为他们的作品设置不同的权限,例如使用期限,复制或修改虚拟物品的能力,或者将物品赠送给他人的能力。虚拟物品的权限赋予其创造者额外的权力来控制虚拟物品在虚拟世界中的分配和交换。本文研究了虚拟物品的唯一权限设置(复制、修改和转移)等因素与虚拟物品价格的关系。使用来自第二人生市场的数据,我们发现虚拟商品的权限不是随机的,因为创建者策略性地设置其虚拟创作的权限。我们的研究结果表明,复制和传输权限是与虚拟商品价格相关的重要因素。分析了其他因素对虚拟商品价格的影响,并讨论了管理含义。
With the rapid development of the virtual world industry in the past few years, trading of virtual goods and services has grown significantly. Virtual goods creators can set different permissions to their creations, such as the length of usage, the ability to copy or modify a virtual good, or the ability to give the good to others. The permissions of virtual goods endow their creators with additional power to control the allocation and exchange of virtual goods in a virtual world. This paper examines how the unique virtual goods permission settings (Copy, Modify, and Transfer) and other factors are associated with virtual goods prices. Using data from a Second Life marketplace, we find that permissions of virtual goods are not random, as creators strategically set the permissions for their virtual creations. Our results show that the Copy and Transfer permissions are significant factors associated with virtual goods prices. The impact of other factors on virtual goods prices is analyzed and managerial implications are discussed.
