论文摘要：Literature suggests that exclusivity usually leads to less upstream supply. By employing a difference-in-difference approach on a unique data-set containing activities of top writers on two competing social networking platforms, we find that switching the contract status to exclusivity does not necessarily decrease top writers’ productivity. We attribute the cause to three effects:  1) a market size effect that increases the total content supply; 2) a substitute effect that shifts the supplies from the open platform to the exclusive one; 3) a subsiding effect that could potentially go either way. This research also throws some light on the crowd-out effect between intrinsic motivation and monetary payoffs.
