Abstract:
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) help to reduce transaction costs in
several ways. The study of this phenomenon and the resulting economic consequences
are the underlying common theme in the four subsequent chapters of my dissertation.
Each of them is a self-contained paper that contributes to the field of Industrial
Organization. In particular, I contribute to the study of two important phenomena that
arose as a consequence of the ICT-enabled reduction in transaction costs, which modern
societies have seen over the last two decades: electronic commerce (E-Commerce,
in what follows) and (commons based) “peer production.
