The assignment discusses price discrimination, specifically in a scenario where a seller has perfect information about buyers' valuations. In this case, the seller can capture all consumer surplus by setting a fixed fee equal to the surplus of low-valuation buyers and a price that maximizes total profit. If the seller uses a single two-part tariff, they set a fixed fee equal to the consumer surplus for an individual buyer and price above the marginal cost to capture more surplus.

Understand price discrimination in a market where different consumers have varying valuations for a seller's good. Learn how perfect information affects the seller's pricing strategy.

Price Discrimination Strategies

This assignment examines the challenges posed by natural monopolies who never supply efficient quantities at efficient prices. It delves into two primary regulatory pricing options: marginal cost pricing (socially efficient but leading to potential economic losses for the monopolist) and average cost pricing (ensuring profit for the monopolist).  The assignment also highlights price cap regulation as a potentially superior alternative when efficiently implemented.

Regulation of Natural Monopolies

This assignment delves into the intricacies of monopolistic competition.

The long-run equilibrium is discussed, emphasizing the concept of normal profits and excess capacity. The assignment further examines productive and allocative efficiency in both perfect competition and monopolistic competition, revealing how firms under different market structures achieve these objectives.
