Platform Competition in Two-Sided Markets
Abstract: Many if not most markets with network externalities are two‐sided. To succeed, platforms in industries such as software, portals and media, payment systems and the Internet, must “get both sides of the market on board.” Accordingly, platforms devote much attention to their business model, that is, to how they court each side while making money overall. This paper builds a model of platform competition with two‐sided markets. It unveils the determinants of price allocation and end‐user surplus for different gov…

“…These results support our conjecture that, as claimed by Rochet and Tirole's (2003, 2006, 2011) and other scholars, the two-sided-market price structure affects card usage performance and MS in the Korean credit card market. Additionally, this study empirically proved that the Korean credit card market operates using the theoretical mechanism of two-sided markets despite having a different market system.…”

“…This means that while the price level (∆ ![]()
TPR i,t ) is controlled, the price structure (∆ ![]()
RPR i,t ) still affects the rate of changes in CTV. These empirical results support the conjecture that despite of difference from four-party system, the price structure effect of the two-sided markets theory asserted by Rochet and Tirole (2003, 2006) also exists in the domestic credit card market (three-party system). These results empirically confirm that the price structure effect, a key requirement of the two-sided market theory, exists in the Korean credit card market.…”

“…First, as ISPs provide unique access to consumers, even competitive ISPs will not choose fully e¢ cient tari¤s and will induce excessive exclusion of contents. This conclusion is similar to results obtained for telecommunication termination charges 18 , although we focus on e¢ ciency of consumption in the presence of adverse selection.…”

“…Firms attract Developers independent of their activity with the competing firm, so the prices offered to Developers are those of local monopolists. This result is observed empirically [ 14 , 16 ], and appears in other competition models [ 34 , 35 ].…”
