Oligopoly price discrimination with many prices

Author

Listed:
  • Hazledine, Tim

Abstract

The model of price discrimination in Cournot-Nash oligopoly is extended to the case of many prices, analogous to 1st degree monopoly price discrimination. In the limit all viable customers are served, but the price charged the keenest customers is well below the highest price charged by a monopoly.
