These markets are known as multi-sided markets and are characterized by the presence of Network Externalities. The Operating System market for smartphones is one of the well-known examples of this type of market.

Also, it proves that a market with App Developers gives higher Consumer Welfare. 2017-06 2018-07-19T14:42:56Z info:eu-repo/semantics/bachelorThesis info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion http://repository.urosario.edu.co/handle/10336/18198 spa info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess application/pdf Universidad del Rosario Economía Facultad de economía instname:Universidad del Rosario reponame:Repositorio Institucional EdocUR
