The Monopolist's decision: towards perfect price discrimination!
The Monopolist's decision: towards perfect price discrimination!
Welcome! Consider you run a company which holds a monopoly on some market. You are able to distinguish several consumer categories based on their willingness-to-pay so you can possibly price-discriminate those categories. You face a linear demand curve (p = a - b.Q). Your Marginal Cost amounts to c + d.Q.
This app simulates the impact of increasing price discrimination on your surplus and on that of your consumers. See Help section for further information.
