양면시장에서 플랫폼 경쟁과 개방 기술 효과 = Platform Competition and Open Source Technology in Two-Sided Markets

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper investigates the effects of the open source technology when user groups are single-homers or multi-homers in a two-sided market. We consider two schemes of technology adoption by the platforms as follows: the Scheme One is both of two platforms take the proprietary technology, and the Scheme Two is one platform takes the open source technology, with another platform taking the proprietary technology. In a single-homing case when the switching cost for adopting the open source technology is low, social welfare under the Scheme Two is higher than that under the Scheme One. The same result is obtained in a multi-homing case. Under the Scheme Two, social welfare with the multi-homing is higher than that with the single-homing, even though the profit of a open source platform under the multi-homing is same as that under the single-homing. This implies the two-sided market with the open source technology is superior to that with the proprietary technology when the multihoming is allowed.
