A Note on Price Competition Models in a Sharing Economy Service Market

초록

Hong et al. (2019) presented a paper on optimal risk management policies for firms in the sharing economy. This note extends the work of Hong et al. (2019) to three types of pricing game: i) a parallel pricing game, ii) a sequential pricing game, and iii) a unified pricing game. Assuming that there exists the price competition in a duopoly market consisting of the sharing platform and the traditional firm, the uniqueness of equilibrium and optimal pricing is analytically proved.
