The reduced wholesale price, in turn, strengthens the retailer's competitive position, enabling it to capture additional market shares (business-stealing effect). To counter the latter effect, and thus reduce the retailer's incentive to invest in alternative sourcing, the supplier might commit to uniform wholesale pricing. However, we demonstrate that this strategy is unprofitable when retailers are sufficiently differentiated. Instead, if retailers differ in size, supplier profitability is maximized through size-based price discrimination. This might harm consumers.

I explore whether a group of buyers can employ a soft deadline to counter the monopoly. Using a simple model of a durable goods monopolist under a deadline, I show that the buyers' imperfect commitment to exit early may elicit a big sale from the monopolist and generate the buyers' premium. The soft deadline partially restores the self-competition dynamics of the Coase conjecture, which was previously constrained by the hard deadline. In the conventional wisdom on the Coase conjecture, the shorter bargaining horizon (or, interpretably, less durability of goods) augments monopoly power. A soft deadline breaks this link: the horizon appears <i>shorter</i>, but the buyers may be better off in expectation.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47963,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Economics","volume":"73 3","pages":"446-457"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144935485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consumers obtain a ranking of the firms and consider them consecutively, differing in how far down the list they go. A firm's product matches a consumer's preferences with an exogenous probability. In sufficiently asymmetric markets, under both uniform and discriminatory pricing, in equilibrium, competition is duopolistic: only two firms use any price interval. Firms face pricing trade-offs due to consideration heterogeneity. Price discrimination alleviates these trade-offs, but it intensifies competition. Compared to uniform pricing, it reduces industry profits and benefits consumers. In this setting, limitations on the use of consumer data may benefit the industry at the expense of consumers.</p>","PeriodicalId":47963,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Economics","volume":"73 2","pages":"333-350"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joie.12410","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144264707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
