Title
Monopoly Price Discrimination and Demand Curvature
Abstract
This paper presents a general analysis of the effects of monopolistic third-degreeprice discrimination on welfare and output when all markets are served. Sufficient conditions — involving straightforward comparisons of the curvatures of the direct and inverse demand functions in the different markets — are presented for discrimination to have negative or positive effects on social welfare and output.
