Abstract:Considering the fact that inter-industry platform cooperation improves users ’ intrinsic benefit , the paper constructs a duopoly model with consumer multi-homing to analyze economic effects of the cooperation .The analysis shows that as the intrinsic benefit of users on the cooperation platform increases , not only prices on its both sides , but its asymmetry of pricing structure and demand will rise .But as to the non-cooperation platform , inter-industry platform cooperation drives prices on its both sides and demand on the single-homing side fall .We also find that if the difference between cooperation platform and non-cooperation platform is large enough on the single-homing side , the non-cooperation platform will decrease the price of this side more than that of the other side.Otherwise, the non-cooperation platform will decrease the price of the multi-homing side more than that of the single-homing side .The paper also indicates that inter-industry platform cooperation improves the profit of the cooperation platform , reduces the profit of the non-cooperation platform , and enhances the consumers ’ surplus and social welfare .This reminds the regulatory agency that it should pay more and more attention to public policies on cooperation in two-sided market to avoid excessive interference .
