Competition policy debates on digital platform markets are often
premised on the idea that market fragmentation and the standard
forces of competition and entry may provide a potential solution to
excessive concentration and market power. In this work, Francesco
Ducci provides readers with a different perspective based on the
theoretical lens of natural monopoly. Ducci explores this framework
through the development of three case studies on horizontal search,
e-commerce marketplaces, and ride-hailing platforms, investigating
the strength and limit of potential (and often heterogeneous)
sources of natural monopoly at play in each industry. Building on
these case studies, the book then derives from the application of
the natural monopoly framework general policy implications for
digital industries by identifying the respective institutional
flaws and shortcomings of ex ante and ex post approaches to market
power as one of the central challenges in digital platform markets.
