Abstract: In this chapter, I review the economic theory of two-sided platforms. First, I elaborate on the
prevailing price structure in monopoly and oligopoly and explore the prevailing market
structure. Second, I consider the choice of non-price strategies that affect users on the platform
and address the horizontal and vertical scope of platforms.
