This paper estimates the importance of network effects in the market for Yellow Pages. I
estimate three simultaneous equations: consumer demand for usage of a directory,
advertiser demand for advertising and a publisher's first-order condition (derived from ...

I exploit a unique data set on the payment card industry to study issues associated with
network effects and two-sided markets. I show that consumers concentrate their spending on
a single payment network (single-homing), although many maintain unused cards that ...

This paper specifies and estimates a dynamic model of consumer preferences for new
durable goods with persistent heterogeneous consumer tastes, rational expectations about
future products and repeat purchases over time. Most new consumer durable goods, ...

Standard discrete choice models such as logit, nested logit, and random coefficients models
place very strong restrictions on how unobservable product space increases with the
number of products. We argue (and show with Monte Carlo experiments) that these ...

Abstract This paper measures the technological significance of voluntary standard setting
organizations (SSOs) by examining citations to patents disclosed in the standard setting
process. We find that SSO patents are cited far more frequently than a set of control ...

Abstract: This paper examines the effect of competition on second degree price
discrimination in display advertising in Yellow Page directories. Recent theoretical work
makes conflicting predictions about the effect of competition on curvature. Our main ...

Broadly speaking, a two-sided market is one in which 1) two sets of agents interact through
an intermediary or platform, and 2) the decisions of each set of agents affects the outcomes
of the other set of agents, typically through an externality. In the case of a video game ...

56K modems were introduced under two competing incompatible standards. We show the

Economic theory is often concerned with sources of agglomeration and dispersion. For
instance, network effects or socially transmitted neighborhood effects lead interacting agents
to agglomerate by making similar decisions. Similarly, standard models of market ...

This paper studies how firms use their number of franchises as a strategic tool. Firms can
commit to high output by creating many franchises. However, signing a single franchise
contract with a low wholesale price is an equally effective way to generate output. The ...

Previous research studies the age profile of patent citations to learn about knowledge flows
over time. However, identification is problematic because of the collinearity between
application year, citation year, and patent age. We show empirically that a patent's 'citation ...

Abstract The paper analyses how countries use competition policy as a tool for strategic
trade. In the model, two countries export to a third country. Each exporting country is
endowed with a set of differentiated products. Each government chooses the number of ...

Voluntary standard setting organizations (SSOs) typically require participants to disclose
their patents during the standard-setting process, and will endorse a standard only if patent
holders commit to license them on reasonable and non-discriminatory or RAND terms. ...

Abstract Using a new data set of US sportscard conventions, this paper tests the pricing
theory of two-sided markets. Convention organizers must set fees to attract both consumers
and dealers. We have detailed information on consumer price, dealer price and, since ...

Abstract: Recent theoretical research on the implications of two-sided markets is gaining
recognition for its implications in antitrust. However, the role of empirical analysis in antitrust
cases for two-sided markets has been unexplored thus far. Empirical tools of economics ...

What are the determinants of consumer choice over payment mechanisms? The answer to

Abstract: A growing body of research uses patent citations to analyze economic phenomena,

Abstract Many durable consumer goods are characterized by relatively high initial prices
followed by rapid declines in prices during the first few years. One possible explanation for
this phenomenon is dynamic price discrimination, wherein firms price high early in order ...

Abstract: We analyze a dynamic model in which firms and consumers choose to adopt one
of two technologies or delay their adoption. Adoption allows agents to trade with other
adopters of the same technology. We show that there is an inefficient equlibrium in which ...
