Monopoly Pricing of Experience Goods∗
In this paper, we develop a model of experience goods pricing with indepedent private valuations. We show that the optimal paths of sales and prices take qualitatively different shapes for different products. If the buyers are initially pessimistic, then the prices are declining over time. If the buyers are initially optimistic, then the optimal prices are initially low followed by higher price...
متن کاملMonopoly pricing and diffusion of social network goods
I present a model of dynamic pricing and diffusion of a network good sold by a monopolist. In the model, the network good is a subscription social network good. This means that in each period, each consumer has to pay a subscription price to use the good, and the utility derived from subscribing to the good increases as more of her neighboring consumers subscribe. Consumers myopically optimize ...
متن کاملMonopoly Pricing with Negative Network Effects : the
We study the market for vaccinations considering income heterogeneity on the demand side and monopoly power on the supply side. A monopolist has an incentive to exploit the external effect of vaccinations and leave the poor susceptible in order to increase the willingness to pay of the rich. Even the possibility to perfectly price discriminate does not remove this incentive. Pigouvian subsidies...
متن کاملPricing of Complementary Goods and Network Effects
We discuss the case of a monopolist of a base good in the presence of complementary goods provided either by it or by other firms. We assess and calibrate the extent of the influence on the profits from the base good that is created by the existence of complementary goods, i.e., the extent of the network effect. We establish an equivalence between a model of a base and a complementary good and ...
متن کاملRobust monopoly pricing
We consider a robust version of the classic problem of optimal monopoly pricing with incomplete information. In the robust version, the seller faces model uncertainty and only knows that the true demand distribution is in the neighborhood of a given model distribution. We characterize the pricing policies under two distinct decision criteria with multiple priors: (i) maximin utility and (ii) mi...
