我研究了一个市场，在这个市场中，一个利润最大化的中介促进了买卖双方之间的交易。中介为买家和卖家设定价格，并将差价作为自己的佣金。最优价格随需求增加而增加，在合理条件下，最优费率百分比随需求减少。然而，如果中介不考虑需求而保持一定比例的费用，就像某些中介的情况一样，买家在高（低）需求期间支付的价格会进一步增加（减少）；也就是说，动态定价被放大了。
I study a market in which a profit-maximizing intermediary facilitates trade between buyers and sellers. The intermediary sets prices for buyers and sellers, and keeps the difference as her fee. Optimal prices increase with demand and, under plausible conditions, the optimal percent fee decreases with demand. However, if the intermediary keeps a constant percent fee regardless of demand, as is the case for some intermediaries, the price paid by buyers during high (low) demand increases (decreases) even further; that is, surge pricing is amplified.
