Pricing in platform marketplaces like Uber, Fiverr, and Postmates plays a crucial role in attracting both buyers and sellers, but new research suggests that platform operators may not always be the best parties to set pricing.

This research provides insights into the benefits, risks, and hybrid solutions for setting prices in platform-based businesses.
