DESCRIPTION:Maarten Janssen (University of Vienna)\, “What Can Platforms Le
 arn from Consumer Choices?”\, Industrial Organization seminar\, TSE\, Marc
 h 3\, 2025\, 14:15–15:30\, room Auditorium 4.\n\nConsumers search on a pla
 tform to learn how a product fits their preferences. Consumers’ value for 
 the product has a common and an idiosyncratic component. The platform obse
 rves which products consumers inspect and what they eventually buy. Based 
 on these observations on past consumer choices the platform ranks products
 .\nWe find that monopoly platforms maximizing long-term consumer’s utility
  will first experiment with product rankings\, providing future consumers 
 with rankings that only list products that many consumers have bought befo
 re. This guarantees that consumers are more picky and only buy products th
 ey really like. The more important the idiosyncratic component\, the bette
 r the platform is able to assist consumers in their search. In contrast\, 
 learning is much more restricted if platforms compete.
