Mengxi Zhang: New Insights on the Relation Between Market Structure and Market Performance, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This book examines the relationship between market structure and market performance in three distinct settings, using theoretical models. It analyzes how passive partial ownership affects antitrust review of subsequent mergers, how vertical integration shapes subscription pricing and content provision among competing video-streaming platforms, and how investment in network size can trap one- and two-sided platforms in a prisoner's dilemma. Drawing on cases from China's video-streaming and social-media markets, the study contributes to ongoing debates on minority shareholdings and digital platform competition policy.
