Q4-11: Suppose we have a monopolist supplying two different markets. The demand in these markets is given by two types of consumers, each buying exactly one unit of the product a monopolist is selling so long as their consumer surplus is non-negative. If the consumer has a choice, she or he will buy the product that gives them the highest consumer surplus. the monopolist has estimated the indirect utility (CS) of each type of consumer as V₁ = 7z₁ - P₁ V₂ = 222 - P2 == where = {1,2} is the quality chosen by the monopolist i.e. vertical differentiation. The monopolist does not know each consumer's type. There are 397 type one consumers and 107 type two consumers. Finally suppose the marginal cost for all quantities is given by e(z) = 2. Q4-1: What are the lowest qualities type 1 and 2 consumers will demand. Q4- 3: What are the incentive compatibility constraints for type 1 and 2 Q4-4: The monopolist has three options: ■Sell only to high type consumers ■ Sell to both consumers the same…
The graph to the right represents the linear demand curve for each identical consumer in a market that a monopoly faces. Using nonlinear price discrimination analysis, suppose that the monopoly can make consumers a take-it-or-leave-it offer. Suppose the monopoly sets a price, p*, and a minimum quantity, Q*, that a consumer must pay to be able to purchase any units at all. What price and minimum quantity should it set to achieve the same outcome as it would if it perfectly price discriminated? The price should be $ and the minimum quantity is 1007 90- 80- 70- 60- 50- 40+ 30- 20- 10- P, $ per unit 0 10 20 30 MR 40 50 60 70 Q, Units per day 80 MC D 90 100
