Abstract

Abstract: As for the problem of an exclusive competition between the platforms, 2 competing PlatformsAgent, 100 ConsumersAgent and 300 SellersAgent are introduced and encapsulated into a closed market environment in BarriersModelSwarm. A two-sided market system is constructed with the cross-network externality. Through BarriersObserverSwarm, the Agents attribute information and behavior strategy are cross-called, and the virtual connection class Orderand ArrayList class in the Virtual Connection Classes are generated to run cyclically. The unilateral dependence degree of Consumers/SellersAgent is triggered, which restores the exclusive of the two-sided market competition in comparison with the platform transaction scale, market concentration, and platform cumulative capital.Simulation results show that the increasing dependence of Consumers/SellersAgent forms the cumulative advantage, which influences the evolution of the exclusive competition between the PlatformsAgent.Exploring the evolutionary and emergence of the exclusive competition in a two-sided market has prospectively holistic value in a two-sided market supervision.
