Fighting collusion by permitting price discrimination
Helfrich, Magdalena; Herweg, Fabian - 2016
We investigate the effect of a ban on third-degree price discrimination on the sustainability of collusion. We build a model with two firms that may be able to discriminate between two consumer groups. Two cases are analyzed: (i) Best-response symmetries so that profits in the static Nash...

Private information, price discrimination, and collusion
Peiseler, Florian; Rasch, Alexander; Shekhar, Shiva - 2018
We analyze firms' ability to sustain collusion in a setting in which horizontally differentiated firms can price-discriminate based on private information regarding consumers' preferences. In particular, firms receive private signals which can be noisy (e.g., big data predictions). We find that...

Third-degree price discrimination in oligopoly when markets are covered
Dertwinkel-Kalt, Markus; Wey, Christian - 2020
We analyze oligopolistic third-degree price discrimination relative to uniform pricing, when markets are always covered. Pricing equilibria are critically determined by supply-side features such as the number of firms and their marginal cost differences. It follows that each firm's Lerner index...

Experimentation in two-sided markets
Peitz, Martin; Rady, Sven; Trepper, Piers - 2011
We study optimal experimentation by a monopolistic platform in a two-sided market framework. The platform provider faces uncertainty about the strength of the externality each side is exerting on the other. It maximizes the expected present value of its profit stream in a continuous-time...

Peitz, Martin; Rady, Sven; Trepper, Piers - 2015
We study optimal experimentation by a monopolistic platform in a two-sided market. The platform provider is uncertain about the strength of the externality each side is exerting on the other. Setting participation fees on both sides, it gradually learns about these externalities by observing...
