The model shows that tying induces more consumers to multi-home and makes platform-specific exclusive contents available to more consumers, which is also beneficial to content providers. As a result, tying can be welfare-enhancing if multi-homing is allowed, even in cases where its welfare impacts are negative in the absence of multi-homing. The analysis thus can have important implications for recent antitrust cases in industries where multi-homing is prevalent. \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThis lecture is free and open to the public.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EPlease contact Ruth Uwaifo at 404-385-1100.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Guest Speaker: Jay Pil Choi, Michigan State, will speak on: Tying in Two-Sided Markets with Multi-Homing.","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Jay Pil Choi, Michigan State"}],"uid":"1","created_gmt":"2010-06-22 09:22:48","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:45:50","author":"Jupiter","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2007-09-21T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2007-09-21T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2007-09-21T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2007-09-21 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2007-09-21 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2007-09-21 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.econ.gatech.edu\/seminars\/","title":"School of Economics"}],"groups":[{"id":"1281","name":"Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"1724","name":"african"},{"id":"3741","name":"american"},{"id":"1880","name":"Boston"},{"id":"1072","name":"Business"},{"id":"351","name":"development"},{"id":"3758","name":"differences"},{"id":"3755","name":"econ"},{"id":"2675","name":"economic"},{"id":"602","name":"economics"},{"id":"3756","name":"gazelles"},{"id":"454","name":"growth"},{"id":"341","name":"innovation"},{"id":"167046","name":"secrets"},{"id":"1871","name":"thomas"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cstrong\u003ERuth Uwaifo\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ESchool of Economics\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:ruth.uwaifo@econ.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EContact Ruth Uwaifo\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404-385-1100\u003C\/strong\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
