数据、竞争与数字平台

Data, Competition, and Digital Platforms
American Economic Review · 2024 · Dirk Bergemann、Alessandro Bonatti

中文摘要

一个垄断平台利用数据将异质性消费者与多产品卖家进行匹配。消费者可以在平台上购买产品,也可以在平台外搜索。平台向卖家出售定向广告以向消费者推荐其产品,并向消费者揭示有关其匹配价值的信息。收益最优机制是一场托管广告活动,能高效匹配产品与偏好。在均衡中,卖家在平台上提供更高的质量与更低的单价,而在平台外则相反。平台利用其信息优势来增强其相对于卖家的议价能力。最后,尊重隐私的数据治理规则能够为消费者带来福利增益。(JEL D11, D42, D44, D82, D83, M37)

Abstract

A monopolist platform uses data to match heterogeneous consumers with multiproduct sellers. The consumers can purchase the products on the platform or search off the platform. The platform sells targeted ads to sellers that recommend their products to consumers and reveals information to consumers about their match values. The revenue-optimal mechanism is a managed advertising campaign that matches products and preferences efficiently. In equilibrium, sellers offer higher qualities at lower unit prices on than off platform. The platform exploits its information advantage to increase its bargaining power vis-à-vis the sellers. Finally, privacy-respecting data-governance rules can lead to welfare gains for consumers. (JEL D11, D42, D44, D82, D83, M37)
