Nonlinear Pricing with Arbitrage: On the Role of Correlation
Meng, Dawen; Tian, Guoqiang - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2008
In nonlinear pricing environment with correlated types, we characterize optimal selling mechanisms when buyers could form a coalition to coordinate their reports and to arbitrage on the goods. We find that when the types of agents are weakly positively correlated, the optimal weakly...

Competitive nonlinear pricing and bundling
Armstrong, Mark; Vickers, John - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2006
We examine the impact of multiproduct nonlinear pricing on profit, consumer surplus and welfare in a duopoly. When consumers buy all their products from one firm (the one-stop shopping model), nonlinear pricing leads to higher profit and welfare, but often lower consumer surplus, than linear...

Nonlinear Pricing with Network Externalities and Countervailing Incentives
Meng, Dawen; Tian, Guoqiang - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2008
This paper considers the screening problem faced by a monopolist of a network good in a general setting. We demonstrate that the joint presence of asymmetric information and network externalities revise the "no distortion on the top" and "one-way distortion" principle. The pattern of consumption...

The Antitrust Treatment of Loyalty Discounts and Rebates in the EU Competition Law: In Search of an Economic Approach and a Theory of Consumer Harm
Samà, Danilo - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2012
In the paper, the fundamental question is under what conditions loyalty discounts and rebates adopted by a dominant firm cause anti-competitive effects. Fidelity schemes, although extremely frequent in the market, if applied by a dominant firm, are likely to be judged as illegal per se, as...

Entry-Deterring Nonlinear Pricing with Bounded Rationality
Meng, Dawen; Tian, Guoqiang - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2013
This paper considers an entry-deterring nonlinear pricing problem faced by an incumbent firm of a network good. The analysis recognizes that the installed user base/network of incumbent monopolist has preemptive power in deterring entry if the entrant’s good is incompatible with the...
