Abstract

We examine the public interventions towards the platform industries in Turkey. Through a regulatory and an antirust intervention, we emphasise the influence of interest groups and potential welfare effects and conclude that the public interventions benefit the relevant interest groups at the expense of other parties. Moreover, each of these interventions has potential negative effects specific to platform industries.

Keywords: public interventions, platform industries, regulation, antitrust

JEL Classification: L49, L59
