- Project Abstract:
Recent years have witnessed the rise of online marketplaces (e.g., Amazon, App Store) that create great convenience to facilitate matchings and improve economic efficiency. While these platforms use third-party sellers data to facilitate better matchings, they have also leveraged those sales data to inform the decisions of entering the marketplace with their own products. We analyze historical data of Amazon products provided by Keepa.com in order to understand Amazon's entry strategy and analyze the impact on third party sellers.
