Eric Brousseau Université Paris X Nanterre - Department of Economics Thierry Pénard Université de Rennes I - Faculte de Sciences Economiques; Université de Rennes I - CREM; Armorican Mole for Research on the Information Society and Uses of the Internet Review of Network Economics, Vol. 6, No. 2, June 2007 Abstract: The paper proposes an analytical framework for comparing different business models for producing information goods and digital services. It is based on three dimensions that also refer to contrasted literature: the economics of matching, the economics of assembling and the economics of knowledge management. Our framework attempts to identify the principal trade-offs at the core of choices among alternative digital business models, and to compare them in terms of competitiveness and efficiency. It also highlights the role played by users in the production of information goods and competition with pure suppliers.
