摘要

This dissertation is comprised of four chapters examining online word-of-mouth (WOM) created on music blogs and within an online community and its relationship with music consumption. The first chapter introduces the dissertation as a series of studies examining social media and its role in influencing consumption of digital goods. In the second chapter, we examine the inter-relationship between music blogs and consumption, through both online sampling and sales, and in the context of the "Long Tail." We find that the relationship between blogging and sampling and that between sampling and sales differs between the "body" and the "tail" of music sales, suggesting blog users favor music shared by blogs with higher levels of influence, and that the impact of blog influence is stronger in the tail relative to the body of the sales distribution.;The third chapter examines the relationship between overall music blog buzz and album sales using two distinct empirical approaches: Granger Causality (GC) to examine the causal direction or time precedence between the two variables, and Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS) to analyze the contemporaneous and simultaneous relationship between buzz and sales. Using GC, we find evidence of bi-directional causality for the full sample and the record label sub-samples. The 2SLS analysis indicates that blog buzz has a positive and significant impact on album sales, which is stronger for independently released music (versus major labels) and for older releases (versus recent releases).;The final chapter examines online social influence, through "bandwagon" and local network influence, and its relationship with consumption within an online music community. We find evidence of bandwagon influence in the full sample and across record label sub-samples. We also find that an actor's network neighbors' consumption does influence the focal actor's consumption decisions. This relationship varies across genres and, interestingly, that as the number of network neighbors increase, the influence of the local social network decreases.;Put together, the research in this dissertation sheds new light on the dual roles of blogs both as a mechanism for social influence and platform for media sharing, and how these impact consumer choice with respect to media consumption.
