Consumers heterogeneously possess limited price information: captive consumers may know only one price from a seller, while informed consumers know several prices. We study a homogeneous-good oligopoly where sellers of heterogeneous costs compete on price for heterogeneously limit-informed...

We analyze a model of monopolistic price discrimination where only some consumers are originally sufficiently informed about their preferences, e.g., about their future demand for a utility such as electricity or telecommunication. When more consumers become informed, we show that this benefits...

Based on the critical assumption of strategic complementarity, this paper builds a general model to describe and solve the screening problem faced by the monopolist seller of a network good. By applying monotone comparative static tools, we demonstrate that the joint presence of asymmetric...
