Informing consumers about their own preferences
Peitz, Martin; Inderst, Roman - 2012
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...

Asymmetric information and differentiated durable goods monopoly : intra-period versus intertemporal price discrimination
Laussel, Didier; Long, Ngo Van; Resende, Joana - 2021
A durable good monopolist faces a continuum of heterogeneous customers who make purchase decisions by comparing present and expected price-quality offers. The monopolist designs a sequence of price-quality menus to segment the market. We consider the Markov Perfect Equilibrium (MPE) of a game...

Optimal Nonlinear Pricing by a Monopolist with Information Ambiguity
Li, Chaozheng; Wang, Chong; Zheng, Mingli - 2014
We consider optimal nonlinear pricing when there is information ambiguity in a monopolist’s prior belief about the distribution of the buyers. The monopolist’s prior information cannot be described by a probabilistic distribution; rather, it is described by an ϵ-contaminated capacity. We...

On Monopolistic Licensing Strategies Under Asymmetric Information
Schmitz, Patrick W. - 2015
Consider a research lab that owns a patent on a new technology but cannot develop a marketable final product based on the new technology. There are two downstream firms that might successfully develop the new product. Each of these downstream firms could with a certain probability be successful...
