Digital Platforms and Market Intermediation
This paper explores how market intermediation may be affected when market actors rely on digital platforms. It draws on participant observation conducted in “REKO” markets in which transactions and interactions are primarily conducted via groups organized on Facebook. The paper identifies four actor/platform intersections that may profoundly shape intermediation.
