报告内容摘要 | |
In the digital era, platform businesses thrive and cross-platform network effects have become a strategic concern for practitioners as different platforms are connected through multi-homing users. However, most platform business studies overlook cross-platform network effects. Using a stylized model, we explore the formation of cross-platform network effects through feedback loops and quantify their multiplying outcome. Our study further examines platforms' pricing decisions with cross-platform network effects. We find that when two platforms are connected through multi-homing users, platforms charge less on the side with multi-homing users, while prices on the other side may increase or decrease depending on the synergies that multi-homing users receive from using both platforms. Additionally, we extend our model to analyze the impact of cross-platform network effects on platform pricing in other applications. | |
