The Generation Mechanism and Governance Path of Flow Monopoly
The generation of data elements and the scarcity of attention resources lead to the flow monopoly problem of platform capital.The essence of data elements is market supply and demand sig-nals,and flow is a digital trading opportunity formed based on data elements.The essence of flow mo-nopoly of platform capital is the monopolistic allocation of trading opportunities.The platform,as a cir-culation organization,shares rather than creates surplus value.This sharing takes the form of a"center-periphery"flow monopoly system between platforms.As the center continues to export flow to the pe-riphery to control and obtain economic benefits and market supply and demand signals,it will split uni-fied market in space and time domain.Therefore,this article proposes three governance suggestions:firstly,beware of a single ecosystem forming a structural closed-loop in three major fields of communi-cation,payment,and logistics;secondly,distinguish between structured and connected platforms and conduct classified supervision;finally,the state intervenes in market competition with the"platform government"as a potential competitor to ensure balanced opening of digital market.
