The Economics of Scale and Trust: Lessons from Digital Marketplaces
INTRODUCTION From Amazon to Airbnb, every major digital marketplace operates on two invisible currencies: scale and trust. The World Economic Forum’s 2024 Digital Trust Index reports that more than 70 percent of online users consider trust to be their deciding factor when engaging on a platform. At the same time, OECD data shows that network-driven firms now account for over half of global market capitalization. Scale accelerates growth, but trust sustains it. Without credible systems for fairness, transparency, and reliability, even the most efficient digital markets can collapse under their own information burden. Today’s economist must therefore study not just supply and demand, but also credibility, connection, and the human behavior that powers digital interactions.
