摘要: 考虑网络通信平台作为连接通信网络用户(消费者)和增值服务提供商(卖方)的双边平台,除了具有组间网络外部性,还具有较强的组内网络外部性的特征,分别建立了垄断、寡头竞争市场的双边平台定价模型,分析了市场结构和部分消费者的多归属行为对平台定价及其利润的影响。研究表明:双边用户的定价在垄断环境下不受网络外部性的影响,而寡头市场下会随着组内网络外部性的增强而提高;当消费者与平台间的匹配成本高于其组内网络外部性带来的正面效用时,平台对消费者多归属时双边用户的定价总是低于其单归属时的定价。平台利润在垄断情形下与消费者(卖方)之间的组内网络外部性呈现单调递增(减)关系,而寡头竞争情况下完全相反,且平台利润会由于消费者的多归属而减少。

Abstract: With the development of platform construction technology, the market of network communication platforms has changed from monopoly to duopoly or oligopoly. For example, in China, China Mobile monopolized the market in 80’s of last century, but now there are a three-pronged situation of China Mobile, Telecom and China Unicom. At the same time, with the improvement of the economic level, consumers have also shifted from single-homing to partial multi-homing. Motivated by the observation, how the market structure and the changes of consumers' behavior affect the platforms’ optimal pricing decision and profits is investigated.

Key words: bilateral platform; intra-group network externality; multi-homing behavior; duopoly; pricing
