主題:Strategic Product Spotlighting on Online Shopping Marketplace: Product Market and Search Advertising Market (網絡銷售場所的策略性產品吸晴:產品市場和搜尋廣告市場)
摘要:Like Google, online shopping marketplaces (e.g., Amazon Marketplace or Taobao Mall) also allows sellers to compete for a spotlight position through second-price auction. However, a marketplace’s profit comes from product market (e.g., commission fees), in addition to the search advertising market. Thus, when deciding the spotlight position, a marketplace needs to balance the profits from both markets. Our paper shows an important result, “incentive alignment”: given any search cost, spotlighting the seller with the highest value for the spotlight position can yield higher joint profits in the product and search advertising markets. The “incentive alignment” implies that the spotlight decision based on mere search advertising market is optimal to the marketplace although its profits depends on two markets. In addition, we show that, in the context of marketplace, there also exists “Position Paradox” and our interpretation is based on both product and search advertising markets, which is new to the literature.
