Reynaerts, Jo; Cayseele, Patrick Van - LICOS Centre for Institutions and Economic Performance, … - 2007

We introduce an analytical framework close to the canonical model of platform competition investigated by Rochet and Tirole (2006) to study pricing decisions in two-sided markets when two or more platforms are needed simultaneously for the successful completion of a transaction. The model...

Equilibrium mergers in a composite good industry with efficiencies

Pardo-Garcia, Cristina; Sempere-Monerris, José Jorge - In: SERIEs : Journal of the Spanish Economic Association 6 (2015) 1, pp. 101-127

This paper studies equilibrium merging behavior in composite good industries. Component producers face the option to either merge with a similar component producer (horizontal merger) or a complementary one (vertical merger) of a composite good. Focusing only on strategic reasons, vertical...

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 …

Doubling back on double marginalization

Linnemer, Laurent - 2022

"Double marginalization" and "Elimination of Double marginalization" are catch-phrases commonly used in the IO literature. In this note, I trace back the origin of the idea to Chapter IX, on complementary goods monopolies, of Cournot (1838). Through the years Cournot's contribution remained a...

A note on identification of discrete choice models for bundles and binary games

Fox, Jeremy T.; Lazzati, Natalia - In: Quantitative Economics 8 (2017) 3, pp. 1021-1036

We study nonparametric identification of single-agent discrete choice models for bundles (without requiring bundle-specific prices) and of binary games of complete information. We show that these two models are quite similar from an identification standpoint. Moreover, they are mathematically...

Two-sided competition of proprietary vs. open source technology platforms, and the implications for the software industry

Economides, Nicholas; Katsamakas, Evangelos - NET Institute - 2005

Technology platforms, such as Microsoft Windows, are the hubs of technology industries. We develop a framework to characterize the optimal two-sided pricing strategy of a platform firm, that is, the pricing strategy towards the direct users of the platform as well as towards firms offering...

Two-sided competition of proprietary vs. open source technology platforms and the implications for the software industry

Economides, Nicholas; Katsamakas, Evangelos - NET Institute - 2004

Technology platforms, such as Microsoft Windows, are the hubs of technology industries. The strategic behavior of a firm controlling a platform affects crucially industry evolution. We develop a framework to characterize the optimal two-sided pricing strategy of a platform firm, that is, the...

Two-Sided Competition of Proprietary vs. Open Source Technology Platforms and the Implications for the Software Industry

Economides, Nicholas; Katsamakas, Evangelos - In: Management Science 52 (2006) 7, pp. 1057-1071

Technology platforms, such as Microsoft Windows, are the hubs of technology industries. We develop a framework to characterize the optimal two-sided pricing strategy of a platform firm; that is, the pricing strategy toward the direct users of the platform as well as toward firms offering...

A Note on Bertrand and Cournot Competition in a Vertically Related Duopoly

Lee, DongJoon - 2014

We revisit the classic discussion on the endogenous choice of a price or a quantity contract in a vertically related duopoly with a monopolistic upstream firm. We show, from the perspective of the upstream firm, choosing the price contract is a dominant strategy regardless of the nature of...

Price and Quantity Contracts in a Mixed Duopoly with a Socially Concerned Firm

Kopel, Michael - 2014

I study the endogenous choice of a price or quantity contract in a mixed duopoly with a socially concerned firm which maximizes a combination of profit and consumer welfare. Contrasting the literature, I find that equilibria where firms adopt price contracts and quantity contracts might coexist....
