A major result in the study of two-sided platforms is the strategic interdependence between the two sides of the same platform, leading to the implication that a platform can maximize its total profits by subsidizing one of its sides. We show that this result largely depends on assuming that at...

This paper analyzes exclusionary conduct of platforms in two-sided markets. Motivated by recent antitrust cases against shopping centers introducing radius restrictions on their tenants, we provide a discussion of the likely positive and normative effects of exclusivity clauses, which prevent...

Local network externalities are present when the network externalities associated with entering a certain network … the consequences of local network externalities within a framework where two networks compete on the Hotelling circle. We … first show that local network externalities, in contrast to global network externalities, do not sharpen competition. Then …

We analyze duopoly Bertrand competition under network effects. We consider both incompatible and compatible products. Our main result is that network effects create a fundamental conflict between the maximization of social welfare and consumer surplus whenever products are incompatible. While...

This paper presents the results of a computational application that dynamically models competition between two Next-Generation Networks (NGN) called platforms. As NGNs serve multiple types of consumers, we consider end-users and content providers who both require connection to the platform. The...
