摘要|Abstract

Digital platforms, such as Alibaba, Amazon, Facebook, Uber, have transformed the nature of our daily life. These multi-sided platforms typically get two or more distinct groups of agents on board, provide service to these agents, and enable interactions among them. Markets where platforms are prevalent have been scrutinized by many competition agencies over the past two decades, and some conducts adopted by dominant platforms have been considered anti-competitive. This lecture will discuss competition policy issues in multi-sided platform markets, including the essential definition of markets, the notion of market power, and the consequences of practices such as exclusivity, mergers and collusion.
