| We develop a two-sided market model with N platforms in which we compare the cases with and without shared networks. We find that, in markets with shared networks, platforms have a higher market power than in the case without shared networks. We analyze the conditions under which this behavior is profitable. Lastly, we compare our results with other works in literature, and we show that previous works are particular cases of our framework. |
