报告摘要：

This paper investigates the incentive by a dominant platform to adopt proportional fee in platform competition and its consequences. Compared with unit fee, proportional fee benefits consumers and society but hurts merchants, and will be the dominant platform's optimal choice if the platform's advantage is sufficiently large. Under proportional fee but not unit fee, merchants are worse off if their platform service becomes more valuable, and a merchant has a stronger incentive to join the platform if more merchants are choosing it. Our theory offers a rationale for high commission rates on the dominant platforms despite intense platform competition.
