Switching Costs in Two-sided Markets∗
In many markets, there are switching costs and network effects. Yet the literature generally deals with them separately. This paper bridges the gap by analyzing their interaction (or “indirect bargain”) in a dynamic two-sided market. It shows that in the symmetric equilibrium, the classic result that the first-period price is U-shaped in switching costs does not emerge, but instead switching co...
متن کاملOne-sided Logic in Two-sided Markets
In this paper, I consider eight basic fallacies that can arise from using conventional wisdom from one-sided markets in two-sided market settings. These fallacies are illustrated using statements made in the context of regulatory investigations into credit card schemes in Australia and the United Kingdom. I discuss how these fallacies may be reconciled by proper use of a two-sided market analys...
متن کاملDefining Two-Sided Markets
We propose a general definition of “two-sided markets,” identify the conditions under which a market is indeed two-sided, and, finally, discuss why two-sidedness matters for business and public policies.
متن کاملUncoordinated Two-Sided Markets∗
Various economic interactions can be modeled as two-sided markets. A central solution concept to these markets are stable matchings, introduced by Gale and Shapley. It is well known that stable matchings can be computed in polynomial time, but many real-life markets lack a central authority to match agents. In those markets, matchings are formed by actions of self-interested agents. Knuth intro...
متن کاملExperimentation in Two-Sided Markets
We study optimal experimentation by a monopolistic platform in a two-sided market. The platform provider faces uncertainty about the strength of the externality each side is exerting on the other. It maximizes the expected present value of its pro t stream in a continuous-time in nite-horizon framework by setting participation fees or quantities on both sides. We show that a price-setting platf...
