Social Media and News: Content Bundling and News Quality

Alexandre de Corniere et al.

Summary: The growing influence of internet platforms acting as content aggregators poses a significant challenge to the media industry. A model is developed to analyze the impact of third-party content bundling by social platforms that have a monopoly on showing user-generated content. The study finds that unilateral content bundling harms publishers and increases quality dispersion, but when an agreement is reached between the platform and publisher, publishers' profits increase and quality dispersion decreases. Additionally, the platform's ability to personalize the mix of content shown to users encourages publishers to invest more in content quality.

Platform sharing: From reseller to marketplace

Yonghong Sun et al.

Summary: Research suggests that opening the platform changes the game rules. By charging rent and commission, the retailer can reduce price competition with the 3P seller. If consumers are indifferent to price changes, both parties benefit from coopetition. However, if consumers are price-sensitive, it may not be in the retailer's best interest to open the platform. Additionally, while platform sharing provides consumers with extra channels to purchase products, they may end up paying a higher price due to the platform opening strategy.
