This paper studies the effects of banning input price discrimination when a supplier offers two-part tariffs to two downstream firms who have different marginal costs and compete in quantities. I show that such a policy gives a lower input price for the less efficient buyer and a higher input price for the more efficient buyer if final goods are close substitutes and higher input prices for both buyers if final goods are more differentiated. In either case, a ban on price discrimination reduces total output, consumer surplus, and total welfare.
