| Abstract | We test the effects of informal rewards in online peer production. Using a randomized, experimental design, we assigned editing awards or ‘‘barnstars’ ’ to a subset of the 1 % most productive Wikipedia contributors. Comparison with the control group shows that receiving a barnstar increases productivity by 60 % and makes contributors six times more likely to receive additional barnstars from other community members, revealing that informal rewards significantly impact individual effort. |
