Complementary Platforms
Reynaerts, Jo; Van Cayseele, Patrick - 2007
We introduce an analytical framework close to the canonical model of platfirm competition investigated by Rochet and Tirole (2006) to study pricing decisions in two-sided markets when two or more platfirms are needed simultaneously for the successful completion of a transaction. The model...

Prediction and Identification in Two-Sided Markets
Boik, Andre - 2018
correlated. I show that the standard “one-sided” model of complements is a special case of the two-sided model, and that it … generates those same hallmark features of two-sided markets. The model of complements also performs well in predicting price … common outcome in two-sided markets. The main cost to using a model of complements to estimate cross-group effects in a two …

We analyze competition between two platforms with positive network externalities. Platforms can choose to interconnect or alternatively, operate exclusively. We examine how this decision will affect pricing behaviour and incentives to invest in Platform quality. We find that interconnection is...

Platform Standards, Collusion and Quality Incentives
Salim, Claudia - 2010
We present the idea that quality cooperation and standardisation might raise network providers' incentives for product differentiation. As a result, the equilibrium outcome may be characterised by voluntary standardisation and maximum quality differentiation: This situation arises, if platforms...

Two-Sided Markets with Negative Externalities
Reisinger, Markus - 2004
This paper analyses a two-sided market in which two platforms compete against each other. One side, the advertisers, exerts a negative externality on the ther side, the users. It is shown that if platforms can charge advertisers only, a higher degree of competition for users can lead to higher...

Alvisi, Matteo; Carbonara, Emanuela - 2010
An integrated monopoly, where all complements forming a composite good are offered by a single firm, is typically … competition in the market for each complement. We present a model with two perfect complements and introduce n imperfect … substitutes for one and then for both complements. We prove that, if one complementary good is produced by a monopolist, and if …

Ambrus, Attila; Argenziano, Rossella - 2004
This paper analyzes pricing decisions and competition in network markets, assuming that groups of consumers can coordinate their choices when it is in their interest, if coordination does not require communication. It is shown that multiple asymmetric networks can coexist in equilibrium. A...

Two-Sided Markets with Pecuniary and Participation Externalities
Schmidtke, Richard - 2006
The existing literature on two-sided markets addresses partici- pation externalities, but so far it has neglected pecuniary externalities between competing platforms. In this paper we build a model that incorporates both externalities. In our setup differentiated platforms compete in advertising...
