摘要: B2B e-marketplaces alter the structure of buyer-seller trading networks. To study network-level structural changes caused by emergence e-marketplaces, we develop a multiple-player noncooperative game, where rational firms select optimal interfirm connections and network is endogenously formed evolved. We examine conditions under which both neutral biased e-markets will sustain, when previous exist. test our model in oligopoly market oligopsony market. Our analysis explains how ownership structures competition interact with each other to affect e-market sustainability. also identify critical factors for sustainable their social welfare implications.
