Platform intermediation in a market for differentiated products
Galeotti, Andrea; Moraga-González, José Luis - 2008 - Rev.: February 2008
We study a two-sided market where a platform attracts firms selling differentiated products and buyers interested in those products. In the unique subgame perfect equilibrium of the game, the platform fully internalizes the network externalities present in the market and firms and consumers all...

Search frictions, competing mechanisms and optimal market segmentation
Cai, Xiaoming; Gautier, Pieter; Wolthoff, Ronald - 2016
In a market in which sellers compete for heterogeneous buyers by posting mechanisms, we analyze how the properties of the meeting technology affect the allocation of buyers to sellers. We show that a separate submarket for each type of buyer is the efficient outcome if and only if meetings are...

On the foundations of competitive search equilibrium with and without market makers
Albrecht, James W.; Cai, Xiaoming; Gautier, Pieter; … - 2021
The literature offers two foundations for competitive search equilibrium, a Nash approach and a market-maker approach. When each buyer visits only one seller (or each worker makes only one job application), the two approaches are equivalent. However, when each buyer visits multiple sellers, this...

We consider a labor market with search frictions in which workers make multiple applications and firms can post and commit to general mechanisms that may be conditioned both on the number of applications received and on the number of offers received by its candidate. When the contract space...
