In this paper, we develop a game-theoretic model to study the accommodation-sharing platform\u2019s optimal quality information disclosure and its determining factors with consideration of consumer uncertainty. We find that it is optimal to provide either opaque, i.e., completely uninformative, or transparent, i.e., fully informative, quality information. We also examine the impacts of the incumbent hotel and market heterogeneity on the platform\u2019s quality disclosure. The results show that market heterogeneity and the hotel\u2019s service cost jointly affect the platform\u2019s information disclosure strategy. In general, the sharing platform provides opaque information when market heterogeneity is relatively low but provides transparent information when market heterogeneity is relatively high. However, when market heterogeneity is medium, the hotel\u2019s service cost plays a key role in affecting its pricing strategy, hence the information disclosure strategy of the platform. Specifically, a sufficiently high price of the hotel prompts the platform to disclose transparent information. These findings provide guidance for sharing platforms to design their information disclosure systems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jtaer17020022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,3]],"date-time":"2022-04-03T02:59:52Z","timestamp":1648954792000},"page":"414-438","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Opaque or Transparent: Quality Disclosure Strategy for Accommodation-Sharing Platforms"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8038-0159","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xin","family":"Fan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The State Key Lab for Manufacturing Systems Engineering, The Key Lab of the Ministry of Education for Process Control & Efficiency Engineering, School of Management, Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University, Xi\u2019an 710049, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5127-6419","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"T.C.E.","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Logistics and Maritime Studies, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong 999077, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The State Key Lab for Manufacturing Systems Engineering, The Key Lab of the Ministry of Education for Process Control & Efficiency Engineering, School of Management, Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University, Xi\u2019an 710049, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"679","article-title":"Examination of motivations and attitudes of peer-to-Peer users in the accommodation sharing economy","volume":"27","author":"Mahadevan","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
