the researcher's note
eBay machine translation export study (Brynjolfsson/Hui/Liu). Effect verified in the NBER working paper: "increases exports by 17.5%" (and 13.1% in revenue, from a 7% gain in human acceptance rate). But the paper reports no count of people: "We restrict the reporting of summary statistics to comply with eBay's data policy." Fails gate 3 on people.n; everything else passes.
