Tiivistelmä: | The author characterizes the menu of bundles (price- -quantity combinations) offered by a monopolist when consumers can buy several bundles, share bundles with others, or do both, in a two-type setting. The author finds that although perfect arbitrage prevents any price discrimination, partial arbitrage in the form of multiple or joint purchases may actually lead to more pronounced price discrimination than when consumers can only pick one single bundle. |
