Abstract

In this chapter, we explicitly incorporate oligopolistic competition into the context of third-degree price discrimination. First, cross-firm elasticities must be introduced. We then discuss the output effects of third-degree price discrimination when price discrimination increases or decreases aggregate output. Finally, we provide a welfare analysis of the oligopolistic third-degree price discrimination. Overall, we stress that there is no great divide between monopoly and oligopoly because both situations can be treated systematically in terms of an index that governs the intensity of competition.
