| Abstract | We examine the competition between a proprietary platform and an open platform, where each
platform holds a two‐sided market consisted of app developers and users. While the competing
platforms have the similar business models for their application marketplace, the open platform
cultivates an innovative environment by making the source code of its operating system available to the
public, which encourages participation in both its application marketplace and third‐party application
development. We use a game theoretic model to capture this competitive phenomenon and found the
openness factor to shift both platforms' equilibrium membership fees in the same direction. However,
the membership fee of the open platform increases or falls more sharply than that of the proprietary
platform. |
