    3 Immigration and the limits of statistical government Camden Town Hall in North London is a popular venue for weddings and civil ceremonies. In November 2013 it was the venue for the marriage of a Miao Guo, a Chinese national in her twenties and Massimo Ciabattini, an Italian man in his thirties, for which elaborate preparations had been made, including a post-service reception and a hotel room for the night. The ceremony was dramatically inter- rupted by Home Office Immigration Enforcement officers wearing flak jackets and accompanied, oddly enough, by journalists. The couple were pulled apart and taken into separate rooms for questioning. Bridesmaids were also interviewed. This happened because of a tip-off from the registrar, who suspected the marriage was a sham (being undertaken to get a visa), after observing that the couple had had trouble spelling each other’s names. Half an hour of questioning later, and with abundant evidence that the marriage was not a sham, the government officials left and the ceremony was restarted (Hutton, 2013; Weaver, 2013). A Home Office spokesman was reported to comment at the time of this failed raid, ‘it is either the best sham wedding I have ever seen or it is real’ (Hutton, 2013). Journalists had been invited to the raid in the hope that they could write about UK immigration control in a more impressive light than the one that transpired. ‘Performance politics’, as discussed in the previous chapter, requires the state to put on convincing public dis- plays that the ‘audience’ finds compelling. The performance of the border as a space of fear and potential violence has to infiltrate the public sphere, in this case with the help of the local media.

  • Reputation for Quality
    Econometrica, Vol. 81, No. 6 (November, 2013), 2381–2462 REPUTATION FOR QUALITY BY SIMON BOARD AND MORITZ MEYER-TER-VEHN1 We propose a model of firm reputation in which a firm can invest or disinvest in product quality and the firm’s reputation is defined as the market’s belief about this quality. We analyze the relationship between a firm’s reputation and its investment incentives, and derive implications for reputational dynamics. Reputational incentives depend on the specification of market learning. When con- sumers learn about quality through perfect good news signals, incentives decrease in reputation and there is a unique work–shirk equilibrium with ergodic dynamics. When learning is through perfect bad news signals, incentives increase in reputation and there is a continuum of shirk–work equilibria with path-dependent dynamics. For a class of imperfect Poisson learning processes and low investment costs, we show that there ex- ists a work–shirk equilibrium with ergodic dynamics. For a subclass of these learning processes, any equilibrium must feature working at all low and intermediate levels of reputation and shirking at the top. KEYWORDS: Reputation, monitoring processes, firm dynamics, investment. 1. INTRODUCTION INMOSTINDUSTRIES, firms can invest in the quality of their products through human capital investment, research and development, and organizational change. Often these investments and the resulting quality are imperfectly ob- servable, giving rise to a moral hazard problem. The firm then invests so as to build a reputation for quality, justifying premium prices in the future. This pa- per analyzes the investment incentives in such a market, examining how they depend on the current reputation of the firm and the information structure of market observations.

  • Reputation As Information
    Reputation as Information: A Multilevel Approach to Reputation in Organizations DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Erin Elizabeth Coyne Graduate Program in Labor and Human Resources The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Steffanie L. Wilk, Advisor David B. Greenberger Roy J. Lewicki Copyright by Erin E. Coyne 2010 Abstract Research on reputation has taken a variety of disparate approaches that has created conceptual confusion. This dissertation attempts to disentangle and clarify the reputation construct by elucidating the definition, introducing a theoretical framing, establishing a new level of analysis and investigating interactive effects. A multilevel approach of studying reputation is introduced and serves as a guide for the dissertation in directing the focus on the three main purposes of this study. First, the theoretical foundations of similarity among multiple levels of reputation are established through the development of a “Reputation as Information” framework. Second, a new proximal contextual construct of unit level of reputation is introduced and explored. As such, this study describes the antecedents and outcomes associated with the more proximal level of unit reputation. Third, cross-level effects of the “big fish in the little pond” and the “little fish in the big pond” (personal and unit level reputation) on individual outcomes are investigated. The procedures used to study these issues included gathering organizational data in a field study using employee surveys, supervisor surveys, and obtaining archival information from the company. These data were analyzed using multiple regression, hierarchical linear modeling, and multiple mediation models.

  • Interaction-Based Reputation Model in Online Social Networks
    Interaction-based Reputation Model in Online Social Networks Izzat Alsmadi1, Dianxiang Xu2 and Jin-Hee Cho3 1Department of Computer Science, University of New Haven, West Haven, CT, U.S.A. 2Department of Computer Science, Boise State University, Boise, ID, U.S.A. 3US Army Research Laboratory, Adelphi, MD, U.S.A. Keywords: Online Social Networks, Reputation, User Attributes, Privacy, Information Credibility. Abstract: Due to the proliferation of using various online social media, individual users put their privacy at risk by posting and exchanging enormous amounts of messages or activities with other users. This causes a seri- ous concern about leaking private information out to malevolent entities without users’ consent. This work proposes a reputation model in order to achieve efficient and effective privacy preservation in which a user’s reputation score can be used to set the level of privacy and accordingly to determine the level of visibility for all messages or activities posted by the users. We derive a user’s reputation based on both individual and relational characteristics in online social network environments. We demonstrate how the proposed reputation model can be used for automatic privacy assessment and accordingly visibility setting for messages / activities created by a user. 1 INTRODUCTION likes, tags, posts, comments) to calculate the degree of friendship between two entities (Jones et al., 2013).
