User-Generated Content, Social Media Bias, and Slant Regulation
This paper examines the impact of regulatory policies on mitigating media bias in a duopolistic media market where traditional and online formats coexist. The findings demonstrate that introducing a welfare-maximizing unbiased media outlet reduces media bias and lowers subscription fees, as long as the data source is accurate, whereas a profit-maximizing unbiased media outlet fails to achieve the same outcome. These insights contribute to ongoing policy discussions on fact-checking, fact-reporting, and policies regulating social media.
期刊介绍:
Managerial and Decision Economics will publish articles applying economic reasoning to managerial decision-making and management strategy.Management strategy concerns practical decisions that managers face about how to compete, how to succeed, and how to organize to achieve their goals. Economic thinking and analysis provides a critical foundation for strategic decision-making across a variety of dimensions. For example, economic insights may help in determining which activities to outsource and which to perfom internally. They can help unravel questions regarding what drives performance differences among firms and what allows these differences to persist. They can contribute to an appreciation of how industries, organizations, and capabilities evolve.
