Unique equilibrium in two-part tariff competition between two-sided platforms
Reisinger, Markus - 2010
Two-sided market models in which platforms compete via two-part tariffs, i.e. a subscription and a per-transaction fee, are often plagued by a continuum of equilibria. This paper augments existing models by allowing for heterogeneous rading behavior of agents on both sides. We show that this...

Two-sided markets with pecuniary and participation externalities
Schmidtke, Richard - 2006
The existing literature on two-sided markets addresses participation 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...
