摘要: In this paper we investigate if digitized two sided matching platforms have negative social welfare implications when they are used for the solicitation of casual sex, i.e. influence incidence rate HIV. We further examine to whom these externalities accrue. Using a census 12 million patients who subjected natural experiment in state Florida between 2002 and 2006, findings suggest that largest effect accrues historically at risk populations (i.e. African Americans, men, socio0economic lower class) that, ironically, also on disadvantaged side digital divide. Disturbingly, find generally considered HIV, relatively digitally advantaged, i.e., Caucasians across entire spectrum, penalized by presence platform. Finally, results show striking absence learning knowledge diffusion about risks platform use.
