    The Pricing Policies for Two-sided Service Platform Considering Strong Intra-group Externalities in the Providers

    • 摘要: 针对双边平台连接的服务消费者与提供者两群体之间存在组内与组间外部性,重点研究了在服务供方存在组内强外部性时,双边平台最优定价策略,以及不同策略对用户参与和利润结构的影响。研究表明,平台对消费者和服务供方的最优定价策略均有收费、免费和补贴等3种,且能使平台利润总为正;组内外部性对平台收益具有损益影响;组间外部性之间的大小关系和组内组间外部性之间的数量关系共同决定了服务的供需双方对平台利润的贡献占比。
