Abstract

In today’s emerging and competitive live streaming e-commerce, streamers must continually work to improve their sales performance. Past research has highlighted the performance impact of live interaction, treating its effects as enduring based on general or average levels. Live interaction in some moments is more salient than that in others, however. Building on gestalt characteristics and event system theories, this study takes a short-term momentary perspective to examine the intensity and duration of peak interaction during product display and non-product display phases of a live streaming video. Using moving window and computer vision techniques, these variables are extracted from videos data obtained on the Taobao Live platform. Their effects are then empirically quantified with econometric model estimations.
