收入和吞吐量的双寡头平台竞争
Duopolistic platform competition for revenue and throughput
摘要:
我们考虑在双边市场中运营的两个竞争平台,并以可能不同的价格向客户提供相同的服务。每个平台的目标是通过适当地为其服务定价来最大化其吞吐量或收入。我们假设客户对平台有偏好或忠诚度,而工人则为这两个平台提供自由职业。假设由此产生的用户之间的相互作用是这样的,他们的总效用最大化,我们表明,对于每一个值的忠诚度,存在一个纯策略纳什均衡的吞吐量和收入的竞争游戏,并描述它。
英文摘要:
We consider two competing platforms operating in a two-sided market and offering identical services to their customers at potentially different prices. The objective of each platform is to maximize its throughput or revenue by suitably pricing its services. We assume that customers have a preference or loyalty to the platforms while the workers freelance for the two platforms. Assuming that the resulting interaction between the users is such that their aggregate utility is maximized, we show that for each value of the loyalty, there exists a pure strategy Nash equilibrium for both the throughput and revenue competition game and characterize it.
