摘要

自平台商业模式被认可以来，以下二分法已被广泛接受-分析交易平台在包含客户群的单一市场中的行为和基于客户群的非交易平台在独立市场中的行为。在本文中，我们认为应该定义单一市场来评估非交易平台业务所从事的行为的影响。这种方法符合市场定义的目的性，承认行为(反竞争或其他)对整个平台业务有影响，并避免行为被错误分类。

Platform businesses and market definition

ABSTRACT Since the recognition of the platform business model, the following dichotomy has been largely accepted – analyze the conduct of a transaction platform in a single market including both customer groups and the conduct of a non-transaction platform in separate markets based on customer groups. In this article we argue that a single market should be defined to assess the effects of conduct engaged by a nontransaction platform business. Such an approach is consistent with the purposive nature of market definition, recognizes that conduct (anti-competitive or otherwise) has implications for the whole platform business and avoids conduct being incorrectly classified.
