DESCRIPTION:A patient seller decides whether to build a reputation for exe
 rting high effort in front of a sequence of consumers. Each consumer decid
 es whether to trust the seller after she observes the number of times that
  the seller took each of his actions in the last K periods\, but not the o
 rder with which these actions were taken. I show that (i) the seller’s p
 ayoff from building a reputation is at least his commitment payoff for all
  K and in all equilibria\, and (ii) the seller sustains his reputation for
  exert high effort in all equilibria if and only if K is below some cutoff
 . Although a larger K allows more consumers to observe the seller’s oppo
 rtunistic behavior\, it weakens their incentives to punish the seller afte
 r they observe opportunistic behavior. This effect undermines the seller
 ’s reputational incentives and lowers consumers’ welfare.
