Tuesday, December 1, 2020
12:00-1:00 PM
Off Campus Location
The Fall 2020 lecture series will be only available on-line as a Zoom webinar.
Using market-frictions based logic, Dr. Wu and his co-author/researcher on this project, develop an analytical model that examines how online platforms can govern opportunistic behavior of offline service providers in China, thus allowing market forces to promote the general welfare. Their work sheds new light on how platform design can help reduce market frictions in economic exchanges and potentially shape the evolution of industries.
