Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution
- In most cities of the world, it is necessary to purchase an expensive license often called medallion to operate a taxi or a taxi company.
- The resale price of those medallions will increase. The reason for such change is that issuing of medallions requires a huge investment.
- When the medallion is resold, the person tries to cover the cost of the money invested. This trade can be termed as a two-sided market operation as it provides platform to the consumers as well as sellers to increase their market activity.
- Such practice will become more popular in the coming future because of development in the technology and higher connectivity through internet.
