- What is the role (positive and potentially harmful) of the platform’s algorithms?
- How do platforms leverage data to manage competition among participants?
- How does the data strategy influence platform governance?
- How do different data strategies of the platform influence the welfare of participants?
- How do platforms build data ecosystems?
