DESCRIPTION:Ulrich Laitenberger (Telecom Paris Tech)\, “Vertical Integratio
 n of Platforms and Product Prominence”\, Economics of Platforms Seminar\, 
 February 23\, 2021\, 14:00–15:00\, Zoom Meeting.\n\nMeta-search platforms 
 (MSPs) help consumers to compare product prices between different sales pl
 atforms. MSPs are often integrated with one of the sales platforms\, which
  can give rise to self-preferencing. A case in point is the online hotel b
 ooking industry\, where the major online travel agencies (OTAs) are integr
 ated with MSPs. Studying web-scraped data from the MSP Kayak\, we find ind
 ications that for a given hotel\, the offers of affiliated OTAs (like Book
 ing.com) are more visible than those of other OTAs with the same price. Mo
 reover\, hotels appear to be less prominent in Kayak’s search results when
  the rival OTA Expedia has the lowest price.
