Direct welfare analysis of relative price regulation

John Vickers

No 828, Economics Series Working Papers from University of Oxford, Department of Economics

Abstract: Abstract The paper synthesizes and develops the welfare analysis of regulating relative prices, for example price differences, of which banning price discrimination is a special case. Welfare results are derived directly by convexity arguments using functions of welfare levels. The method is also used to obtain results about e¤ects on consumer surplus.
