我们研究了一个两阶段的基于行为的价格歧视模型,如Fudenberg和Tirole(兰德J Econ 31(4):634-657,2000),但我们允许企业在第一阶段进行产品选择。我们表明,唯一可能的平衡涉及最大的分化。这与Choe等人(Manag Sci 64(12):5669-5687,2018)形成对比,其中当竞争是个性化定价时,均衡的特征是低于最大差异化。因此,我们的研究结果突出了价格竞争和产品选择之间的一个重要的相互作用。
We study a two-period model of behavior-based price discrimination, as in Fudenberg and Tirole (RAND J Econ 31(4):634–657, 2000), but we allow firms to make their product choices in the first period. We show that the only possible equilibrium involves maximal differentiation. This is in contrast to Choe et al. (Manag Sci 64(12):5669–5687, 2018), where equilibrium features less-than-maximal differentiation when competition is in personalized pricing. Thus, our result highlights an important interplay between the type of price competition and product choice.
