"Monopsony and the Crowd: Labor for Lemons?"
by Kingsley, Sara; Gray, Mary-Louise; Suri, Siddharth (2014)
Abstract
Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT) is an online labor market (OLM) where requesters ("employers") post tasks ("jobs") for workers to do for pay. We evaluate whether requesters on the platform have monopsony power and whether the platform is competitive or not in regards to labor.
