摘要 |
In this paper, we examine the welfare effect of price
discrimination in vertically-related markets with different production
technology. It is found that when the source of price discrimination comes
from the difference of production technology, allowing price discrimination
may increase social welfare. If price discrimination is allowed, the upstream
monopolist can fine tune the final outputs among the downstream markets.
Price discrimination makes the distribution of the final goods more evenly,
and aggregate outputs increases. As long as the production cost of the input
is not too high, the benefits coming from price discrimination can outweigh
the increase in total costs. That improves the social welfare. |
