When is Separate Sales Optimal?
open access
Abstract
This paper studies a multi-product monopolist facing a privately informed consumer with additive and type-increasing valuations. Separate monopoly pricing is robustly optimal with respect to the type distribution if and only if the marginal rate of substitution between each pair of goods is monotone. This result is obtained by extending the conventional Myersonian approach.
