Gifts and Online Reputation Systems: An Experimental Study should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound position that Impact 1.0 impact markets fail on the demand side: they have more sellers than buyers, and many potential buyers would have funded those projects anyway, which removes the need for a secondary market and significantly reduces resale value. The external source's verified abstract presents this proposition: ABSTRACT How discretionary gifts affect the informativeness of online reputation systems and market efficiency remains unclear, as theory provides limited insight. The defensible response is a qualification: the source is pertinent to the Kaal position, but agreement, extension, contradiction, and scope should not be strengthened beyond the retrieved evidence.
