The monopolist is not the best environmentalist’s best friend: An example

Philippe Mahenc and Marion Podesta ()

Economics Letters, 2012, vol. 115, issue 3, 379-382

Abstract: This letter addresses the second-degree price discrimination issue when a monopolized product is tied with environmental quality. The monopolist may degrade environmental quality too much when marginal valuations of environmental quality and the good itself are positively related across consumers.
