Somogyi’s project awarded a NET Institute Summer Grant

‘Deceptive Products on Platforms‘, Robert Somogyi’s joint project with Johannes Johnen (CORE, UCLouvain) has received a NET Institute Summer Grant.

The project investigates online platforms’ incentives to educate consumers about hidden prices that sellers may try charging them. When will Skyscanner or Google Flights warn consumers about large additional luggage fees? What are the incentives of Amazon and eBay to show shipping fees or VAT in the initial search results? The first draft of the paper analyzing these issues will be available in the Fall as a NET Institute Working Paper.

The NET Institute funds a number of scientific research projects in the area of network industries, including wired and wireless networks, “virtual networks,” electronic commerce, telecommunications, the Internet, platforms, and two-sided markets. It is expected that funded research will eventually be published in top academic research journals. The NET Institute’s board of directors consists of

Dr. Vinton G. Cerf, Vice President & Chief Internet Evangelist, Google
Professor Nicholas Economides, Stern School of Business, New York University (Executive Director)
David A. Heiner,Vice President & Deputy General Counsel, Microsoft Corporation
Dr. Nathan Myhrvold, CEO, Intellectual Ventures
Professor Ariel Pakes, Economics Department, Harvard University.

Kóczy’s paper in Energy Economics

Energy Economics Regulated third party access (TPA) obliges the owner of an infrastructure, such as a natural gas pipeline to make it available for any user for a fee. If we want to model the European pipeline network with TPA, we must consider externalities. Kóczy’s paper titled “Modeling transfer profits as externalities in a cooperative game-theoretic model of natural gas networks” (joint with Dávid Csercsik, Franz Hubert and Balázs Sziklai) recently published in Energy Economics uses a simple partition function form game to model it. The paper is downloadable for free for 50 days.
