We study the optimal pricing strategy of a monopolist selling homogeneous goods to multiple buyers over multiple periods. The customers choose their time of purchase to maximize their payoff that depends on their valuation of the product, the purchase price, and the utility they derive from past...

We study the market for vaccinations considering income heterogeneity on the demand side and monopoly power on the supply side. A monopolist has an incentive to exploit the external effect of vaccinations and leave the poor susceptible in order to increase the willingness to pay of the rich....

This paper uses tools provided by lattice theory to describe the second-degree price discrimination problem faced by a monopolist seller of a network good, and to give a complete characterization of the optimal contracts it can use. We build a general model in a discrete and a continuous type...

We investigate the welfare effects of third-degree price discrimination by a two-sided platform that enables interaction between buyers and sellers. Sellers are heterogenous with respect to their per-interaction benefit, and, under price discrimination, the platform can condition its fee on...

We consider duopolists innovating and producing a good subject to network externalities, so that the reservation price of a consumer increases with aggregate consumption. The post-innovation network consists of two compatible sub-networks, with increased network valuation of the new product....

I investigate a monopolist's pricing strategy in the complementary markets for operating systems and software applications and its compatibility stance with an entrant when the latter market is characterised by direct network effects and random innovation. Intertemporal, strategic pricing leads...

We consider duopolists innovating and producing a good that is subject to network externalities, so that the reservation price for a consumer increases with aggregate consumption. The post-innovation network consists of two compatible sub-networks, with increased network valuation of the new...

In this paper we study a duopoly where the network e¤ect is nonmonotone and the network can be overloaded. The firms choose prices and locations endogenously, and the agent's utility is influenced by the number of people patronizing the same firm she does. We determine the market equilibrium,...
