Marshall W. Van Alstyne (born March 28, 1962) is the Allen and Kelly Questrom Professor in IS[1] at Boston University and a research associate at the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy.[2] He co-developed the theory of two-sided markets with Geoffrey G Parker.[3] His work focuses on the economics of information. This includes a sustained interest in information markets and in how information and technology affect productivity with a new emphasis on “platforms” as an extension of the work on two-sided markets.
