Add-on Pricing, Consumer Myopia and Regulatory Intervention
This paper analyzes regulatory intervention when firms exploit consumers who are myopic in their decision making. As shown by Gabaix and Laibson (2006), a potential equilibrium price strategy of firms involves excessively high-priced add-ons and shrouding of add-on prices, which leads to a social welfare loss and consumer protection problems. Our model introduces a price discrimination equilibr...
متن کاملOn Competitive Nonlinear Pricing∗
A buyer of a divisible good faces several identical sellers. The buyer’s preferences are her private information, and they may directly affect the sellers’ profits (common values). Sellers compete by posting menus of nonexclusive contracts, so that the buyer can simultaneously and privately trade with several sellers. We focus on the finitetype case, and we provide a full characterization of pu...
متن کاملon semihypergroups and hypergroups
in this thesis, first the notion of weak mutual associativity (w.m.a.) and the necessary and sufficient condition for a $(l,gamma)$-associated hypersemigroup $(h, ast)$ derived from some family of $lesssim$-preordered semigroups to be a hypergroup, are given. second, by proving the fact that the concrete categories, semihypergroups and hypergroups have not free objects we will introduce t...
15 صفحه اولThe Impact of Add-On Features on Consumer Product Evaluations
The research presented in this article provides evidence that add-on features sold to enhance a product can be more than just discretionary benefits. We argue that consumers draw inferences from the mere availability of add-ons, which in turn lead to significant changes in the perceived utility of the base good itself. Specifically, we propose that the improvements supplied by add-ons can be cl...

To manage uctuating supply and demand conditions across market locations (zones), many on-demand platforms provide market forecasts to workers and practice surge pricing, wherein the price in a particular zone is temporarily raised above the regular price. We jointly analyze the strat...
