Professor Meggiorin’s research investigates the impact of regulatory uncertainty on digital platform markets, with a particular emphasis on the sharing economy, including services such as Airbnb, Uber, and Kiva. Her work examines the societal trade-offs associated with these platforms, considering both their positive contributions, such as enhanced consumer welfare, and their negative externalities, including upward pressure on real estate prices. She analyzes the underlying drivers of user misconduct and competitive behavior on platforms, as well as the strategic incentives platforms face in addressing the broader social consequences of their operations. This research contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the interplay between regulatory environments, platform governance, and market dynamics in the digital economy.
