DESCRIPTION:Hsin-Tien Tiffany Tsai (National University of Singapore)\, “St
 eering via Algorithmic Recommendations”\, Economics of Platforms Seminar\,
  March 23\, 2021\, 14:00–15:00\, Zoom Meeting.\n\nThis paper studies wheth
 er market structure affects algorithmic recommendations in dominant platfo
 rms. We focus on the dual role of Amazon.com as a platform owner and retai
 ler. We find that products sold by Amazon receive substantially more 'Freq
 uently Bought Together' recommendations across product categories and popu
 larity deciles. To establish causality\, we exploit within-product variati
 on generated by Amazon stockouts. We find that when Amazon is out of stock
 \, the identical product sold by third-party sellers receives 8% fewer rec
 ommendations. The pattern can be explained by economic incentives of steer
 ing and cannot be explained by consumer preference. Furthermore\, the stee
 ring lowers recommendation efficiency.
