On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Abstract
We study when and how the host organization of multiple sellers, such as a shopping mall, should subsidize or charge customers. Each seller provides a different product, sets her own price, and shares profit with the host according to their bargaining power. Equilibrium subsidy is indeed a multi-seller phenomenon. More bargaining power of the host relative to any seller, a less elastic demand for any seller, or a large cross-price elasticity of demand for the host favors a subsidy. Regardless, the host always charges a fee if the sum of the profit shares taken from sellers does not exceed 1.
