| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
For the main project concerning fake users on the platform, I've conducted an analysis to understand the firm's pricing strategy with heterogeneous consumer groups, and further analysis is needed to evaluate its impact on welfare. As a related research endeavor, I have completed a project examining how firms adjust their pricing strategies when dealing with heterogeneous consumer groups, particularly focusing on the quality choices made by firms. A welfare analysis was also conducted to ensure that the project's findings have implications for policy-making on market regulation and consumer protection.
