摘要:

数字技术推动了内容平台的发展。伴随平台内容的不断丰富,市场中的在位平台被越来越多的消费者知晓与认可;而新进平台往往只获得较少消费者的知晓与关注。本文分析不同消费者知晓度下,在位平台与新进平台的内容独占竞争策略;特别地,独占新内容有助于提升新进平台的知晓度。通过对两平台内容购买博弈的建模分析,本文发现,若独占新内容不能显著提升新进平台的知晓度,则在位平台独占竞价能力更强,否则,新进平台独占竞价能力更强。有趣的是,在新进平台的购买威慑下,在位平台在利润下降的情形下依然有可能购买新内容;而新进平台会主动规避与在位平台同时购买新内容。对政府而言,应防止平台间不正当的信息封锁,积极引导消费者关注新进平台,或鼓励新进平台独占高质量的新内容,以实现平台间的有序竞争,提升整体社会福利。

Abstract:

Digital technology promotes the development of platform-based content ecology. With continuous enrichment of its content, the incumbent platform is increasingly known by more and more consumers, while the entrant platform gets less awareness and attention from the consumers. The new content exclusivity competition between an incumbent platform and an entrant platform under different consumers’ awareness of the platforms is analyzed. In particular, the exclusive purchase of the new content by the entrant platform can increase its consumer awareness. By solving the content purchase game between the two platforms and analyzing the corresponding equilibria, it is found that, if the exclusive purchase of the new content cannot significantly improve the consumers’ awareness of the entrant platform, then the incumbent platform has the higher exclusive bidding power; otherwise, the entrant platform has the higher exclusive bidding power. Interestingly, facing deterrence of the exclusive purchase of the entrant platform, the incumbent platform may purchase the new content even though its profit declines with the purchase. On the other hand, the entrant platform never purchases the new content simultaneously with the incumbent. Only when the entrant platform has the higher exclusive bidding power will it be possible to enhance its competitiveness by seizing the new content that the incumbent platform cannot buy. For policy maker, the difference in the consumers’ awareness between the two platforms can be reduced to enhance the social welfare especially when the incumbent platform has the higher exclusive bidding power but the purchase of the new content does not significantly enlarge the content utility gap between the two platforms. Moreover, the entrant platform should be encouraged to purchase the high-value new content to compete against the incumbent platform, which can further improve the social welfare. It contributes to research on content exclusivity strategies for platforms by considering different consumers’ awareness for the competing platforms in this study.

Key words: content platform, consumers’ awareness, consumers’ multi-homing, platform competition, content exclusivity strategy
