Price discrimination in Cournot competition

Economics Letters, 2012, vol. 117, issue 3, 540-543

Abstract: We examine the average equilibrium price when quantity setting oligopolies price discriminate. It is known that for the price discrimination extension of Cournot competition the average price is independent of the extent of price discrimination whenever the demand is linear. We show that this result holds under a larger class of demand functions.
