内容摘要
Many jurisdictions have launched antitrust enforcement and introduced regulation against large tech platforms. As a quasi-natural experiment, the quick and strict implementation of China’s “Anti-Monopoly Guidelines for Platform Economy” provides an opportunity to evaluate the impact of antitrust regulation on platform competition. This paper addresses how government regulation impacts the number of investments and the entry of start-ups to measure competition. It adopts a Difference-in-Differences (DID) method to empirically explore the impact of China’s Platform Guidelines. The results show that competition weakened in markets affected by the guidelines with less venture capital investment flowing into these markets and less entry of start-ups. Moreover, the Guidelines not only restricted the expansion of the existing big tech digital platforms, but also deters the start-ups within the affected platform markets from engaging in businesses similar to the big tech digital platforms. Our study offers important policy implications and suggests that governments consider more carefully the potential unintended consequences of antitrust platform regulation.
