Abstract

Widespread Internet access in the latest decade gave ground for the emergence of information aggregators that by changing the traditional interactions between the supply and demand sides on the market, have become a kind of intermediaries on two-sided markets, thereby changing the shape of the industry. This paper while analyzing the potential benefits and costs of participants from emergence of the aggregator on the market identifies possible directions in adjusting the shape of competition. Moreover, it presents entry strategies for market aggregators and identifies potential problems related to the application of economic policy instruments in spheres involving aggregators.

Keywords
