Abstract
An economic model is created that emphasizes the characteristics of digital products. By focusing on price instead of quantity, the model examines the impact of low marginal costs and advertising revenue. The conditions for producing negative prices are explored along with the limitations of assuming linear demand curves in an e-commerce setting. The model explains observed phenomenon in Web examples including digital music, search engine competition, and social networks.
