Abstract:

This thesis collects fours axes of my previous and ongoing research: the first studies allocative mechanisms such as auctions and matching procedures used in online markets; the second is on competition policy, regarding for instance the pricing of ancillary goods and the regulation of platform commissions; the third concerns optimal taxation, in environments involving occupational choice by workers; and the fourth investigates the effects of second-degree price discrimination in imperfectly competitive settings.
