Ratings on platforms such as Yelp and TripAdvisor can greatly impact high-priced New York City restaurants that service tourists, but have less of an effect on restaurants frequented by "locals" outside of tourist areas, according to new Cornell research. "In neighborhoods frequented by 'locals,' the advent and expansion of internet-based ratings platforms did not result in greater disparities in restaurant sales despite how ubiquitous they are and how frequently we anecdotally use them," said Jason Greenberg , associate professor of management and organizations at the Peter and Stephanie Nolan School of Hotel Administration in the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business .

MANILA -The Philippines is losing out on potentially significant tax revenues from digital transactions and foreign digital service providers and funding for its programs amid the digital commerce boom, according to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS). In a paper published by PIDS, University of the Philippines associate law professor Emerson Bañez said the complexity of the digital economy poses a challenge for tax agencies. 'The national tax system is struggling to capture revenues from digital transactions due to the complexity of these transactions, the absence of physical presence, and the strong dependence on intangible assets,' Bañez said.
