Primes¶
- Two Sided Market
- Marketplaces — buyers and sellers, where each new participant on either side raises the platform's value to the other, so balanced recruitment is the central problem. Payment systems — account-holders and merchants, with asymmetric pricing (acceptance everywhere versus use by everyone) addressed historically through interchange structures that subsidise one side.
