Abstract

Unlike traditional firms, platforms do not manufacture products. Instead, they arrange matches between firms and consumers, facilitating a safe and simple trading process, providing value for all parties involved. Among the many design considerations for platforms is the trade-off between transparency and search costs. In this talk, we discuss the impact of transparency and search on the economic efficiency of platforms.
