Why is Platform Pricing Generally Highly Skewed?
Bolt and Tieman (2008) suggested that profit function non-concavities may account for the prevalence of skewed pricing by two-sided platform businesses. In the Rochet-Tirole (2003) model, however non-concavity is not necessary for highly skewed pricing. Ubiquitous high pass-through rates are sufficient but implausible. In the Armstrong (2006) model, non-concavity is neither necessary nor suffic...
متن کاملWhy Believe That There Is a God?
This article presents an argument for the existence of God, showing that the evident phenomena are best explained by supposing that a God causes them. The argument is based on the inductive force of four very evident general phenomena: that there is a physical Universe; that it is governed by very simple natural laws; that those laws are such as to lead to the existence of human bodies; and tha...
متن کاملRobust Learning with Highly Skewed Category Distributions
Highly skewed category distributions are abundant in many real-world tasks in data mining, such as medical diagnosis (rare diseases), text categorization (rare topics), and fraud detection (when most transactions are legitimate). Under extreme class skew, most supervised learning algorithms tend to minimize loss by labeling every instance with the majority class(es), leading to poor recall on t...
متن کاملWhy Vector-jacobian Products Are Cheap but Preconditioning Is Generally Costly
All methods for solving linear or nonlinear systems of equations require the evaluation of residual vectors, most algorithms are based on Jacobian-vector products and many schemes involve vector-Jacobian products. Moreover, while only exact Newton methods form and factor the Jacobian explicitly, some information about the size of its elements or the structure of its spectrum appears to be indes...
متن کاملA Political Economy Model of Road Pricing: Why Road Pricing is Not Implemented
In this paper, we take a political economy approach to study the introduction of road tolls, using a simple majority voting model. Charging users for external congestion costs may seem an obvious reform to an economist, but successful introduction of road pricing is quite uncommon. Moreover, in cases were congestion pricing has been implemented (e.g., London and Stockholm), its introduction was...
