Unpriced Quality

Pascal Courty

No ECO2009/16, Economics Working Papers from European University Institute

Abstract: A monopolist deliberately charges the same price for differentiated products when high quality products are more likely to be allocated to low type consumers under uniform pricing. The argument can explain the use of ‘unpriced quality’ for concert tickets, sport events, and in many other situations.
