    En este trabajo presentamos una revisión del análisis económico de los mercados digitales y de sus protagonistas, las plataformas. Estos mercados poseen una serie de características que, debido al impacto de la tecnología digital, dificultan el desarrollo de la competencia y crean una tendencia hacia la concentración. Esta situación puede suponer reducciones importantes del bienestar social y el excedente de los consumidores. Por ello, es importante estudiar medidas regulatorias y de competencia que minimicen el impacto negativo de estos problemas

    In this paper we provide a review of the literature regarding the economic analysis of digital markets and their most prominent agents, platforms. These markets share features that, due to the impact of digital technology, could hinder competition and create a tendency towards greater concentration. This situation could lead to significant reductions of social welfare and consumer surplus. Therefore, it is important to explore regulatory and competition policies that minimize these problems’ negative impact
