Primes

• Network Broker Role
  • The cultural-broker role from anthropology transferred into community-health-worker programme design, and the trade-middleman finding from economic geography transferred into platform-economics models of two-sided markets.

    This sourceSurveys the trade intermediary who connects non-overlapping markets and alleviates contract-enforcement and information problems with reputational standing — the economic-geography broker, carried into two-sided-market platform economics.

    Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract

    Rauch's abstract establishes intermediaries who connect foreign agents to domestic networks and ease contract-enforcement and information problems, i.e. the trade-middleman role, but says nothing about two-sided-market platform economics.

    “The last main sections develop research agendas for two less studied areas: the role of intermediaries who can connect foreign agents to domestic networks and the ability of transnational production networks to facilitate technology transfer.”

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
