About this journal

The Review of Network Economics seeks to help policy makers, academics, and practitioners keep informed of new research and policy debate in network economics and related subjects that are relevant to the study of network industries.

By publishing high quality research on topical issues relevant to network industries, it is hoped readers will be able to gain a deeper understanding of the economic issues involved and that this will improve the quality of decision making by private and public organisations, and debate among researchers. The articles can cover specific network industries, or may deal with general issues that have relevance to a number of different network industries, including topics in the economics of networks, regulation, competition law, or industrial organisation. Papers that provide insights into policy debates are especially welcome, as are up-to-date surveys, book reviews, and comments.

On the Invariance Result of Net Neutrality

Jeong-Yoo Kim

Page range: 139-157

Abstract

In an influential paper, Choi and Kim (2010) established the invariance result that given a fixed network capacity, the average waiting times are identical regardless of net neutrality. In this paper, we argue that their result relies on the assumption that the distribution for content requests per end user is the same regardless of net neutrality. However, if the distribution is determined by the underlying utility maximization problem of users, users expect the contents they request to be transmitted faster if the contents have priority, implying that the request rate for prioritized contents is higher than the request rate for unprioritized contents under net neutrality. If the content request rates per user differ across the two regimes (net neutrality vs. no net neutrality), the invariance result may not be valid. We also discuss social welfare and the investment incentive of the Internet service provider in an extended model with variable content request rates.

Platform Pricing Choice: Exclusive Deals or Uniform Prices

Abstract

Platforms choose between offering exclusive deals or uniform prices to content providers in a setting where content providers can multi-home or single-home. We find that platforms offer exclusive deals for sufficiently large or sufficiently small values of standalone benefits. For sufficiently large or small standalone benefits, there are relatively large or small proportion of multi-homers to single-homers, exclusive deals allow to extract more efficiently from the content provider type that is relatively large in the market. Hence, it becomes more lucrative to employ exclusive deals regardless of the pricing strategy chosen by rival platform. We find that for standalone benefits being sufficiently small, exclusive deals equilibrium is also the industry profit enhancing outcome. On the other hand, when standalone benefits are large, exclusive pricing deals equilibrium leads to a prisoner’s dilemma type of outcome.

Audience: Since 2002, the Review of Network Economics (RNE) has been a leading forum for new insights in network economics, providing essential reading for anyone interested in the economics of network industries. Publishing high quality theoretical and empirical research, along with surveys and reviews that either cover specific industries or have relevance to multiple different network industries, the journal seeks to keep academics, policy makers, and practitioners informed of new research and policy debate in network economics and related subjects. Specific sectors of interest include (but are not limited to) energy, market exchanges and intermediaries, media, on-line services, payment systems, postal services, software platforms, telecommunications and transportation networks. Published quarterly in March, June, September, and December, the Review of Network Economics is committed to promoting a deeper understanding of the economic issues that underpin such network industries. The founding editors (John Panzar and Julian Wright) also wish to express their deep appreciation to Henry Ergas who kindly sponsored the initial development of the journal and has enabled the full text of the 2002-2008 issues to be made freely available.
