Competitive Nonlinear Pricing and Bundling∗
We examine the impact of multiproduct nonlinear pricing on profit, consumer surplus and welfare in a duopoly. When consumers buy all their products from one firm (the one-stop shopping model), nonlinear pricing leads to higher profit and welfare, but usually lower consumer surplus, than linear pricing. By contrast, in a unit-demand model where consumers may buy one product from one firm and ano...
متن کاملBundling Information Goods: Pricing, Profits and Efficiency
Internet-based technologies such as micropayments increasingly enable the sale and delivery of small units of information. This paper draws attention to the opposite strategy of bundling a large number of information goods, such as those increasingly available on the Internet, for a fixed price that does not depend on how many goods are actually used by the buyer. We analyze the optimal bundlin...
متن کاملProduct bundling and tying in competition∗
This paper explores tying in the situation where a multi-product firm without monopoly power competes against several single-product firms. It considers two independent markets: one for a horizontally differentiated good, the other for a homogeneous good. As opposed to the widely accepted opinion that tying may be profitable only in the case of monopoly power, it is shown that under reasonable ...
متن کاملBundling and Competition on the Internet
The Internet has significantly reduced the marginal cost of producing and distributing digital information goods. It also coincides with the emergence of new competitive strategies such as large-scale bundling. In this paper, we show that bundling can create “economies of aggregation” for information goods if their marginal costs are very low, even in the absence of network externalities or eco...
متن کاملA Framework for Automated Bundling and Pricing Using Purchase Data
We present a framework for automatically suggesting highprofit bundle discounts based on historical customer purchase data. We develop several search algorithms that identify profit-maximizing prices and bundle discounts. We introduce a richer probabilistic valuation model than prior work by capturing complementarity, substitutability, and covariance, and we provide a hybrid search technique fo...
