- Abstract
This paper focuses on the dynamic process when two platforms are competing and occupy market share. Specifically, this paper focus on the process of the entry of a new platform in the case of an incumbent occupying the market. This paper then concludes potential factors that will affect the profit of the entrant platform. In this work, an empirical analysis towards the potential final market form is performed, and an extension model describing the time-price-change event is set up and analyzed.
